The Girl with All the Gifts Trailer. Colm McCarthy‘s The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) U.K. movie trailer stars Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, Paddy ConsidineSennia Nanua, and Dominique Tipper. The Girl with All the Gifts‘ plot synopsis: based on the book by M.R. Carey, “The near future; humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating “hungries”. Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects.

At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, these children retain normal thoughts and emotions. And while still being subject to the craving for human flesh that marks the disease these second- generation “hungries” are able to think and feel making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.

The children attend school lessons daily, guarded by the ever watchful Sergeant Parks. But one little girl, Melanie, stands out from the rest. Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative and loves her favorite teacher Miss Justineau.

When the base falls, Melanie escapes along with Miss Justineau, Sergeant Parks and Dr. Caldwell. Against the backdrop of a blighted Britain, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide both her own future and that of the human race.”

I read this book a few years ago. It had one of the most surprising endings that I have ever read. From this The Girl with All the Gifts trailer, I can see that the ending from the book is intact. Many of the other book elements seem intact as well, especially the relationship between Helen Justineau (Gemma Arterton) and Melanie (Anamaria Marinca).

It seems very strange that Warner Bros. would schedule a U.K. release date for this film and not a U.S. release date to coincide with it. If this film is released in the U.K. months before it is released in the U.S., Warner Bros. is going to have a piracy problem on their hands when it comes to this film. That problem will eat into their profits.

The Girl with All the Gifts also stars Anamaria Marinca, Fisayo Akinade, Lobna Futers, Daniel Eghan, Anthony Welsh, Elise Reed, Ross Green, Amy Floyd, and Tessa Morris.
