The movie is an adaptation of the book of the same name by Mike Carey - and the author himself has turned his novel into a screenplay.

Colm McCarthy is in the director's chair for the film, which is his first feature since Outcast back in 2010. He has been focusing on television projects with the likes of Peaky Blinders and Sherlock under his belt.

The movie won't hit the big screen until the end of September but we have some great new images for you to take a look at:

The Girl With All The Gifts will introduce us to the acting talents of Sennia Nanua, who will take on the central role of Melanie.

Nanua is joined on the cast list by Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, Paddy Considine, and Dominique Tipper.

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 favourite 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.

The Girl With All The Gifts is released 23rd September.
