The first official images have been released for Cargo, an upcoming zombie drama starring Martin Freeman (Sherlock, The Hobbit, Fargo) as a man trying to protect his infant daughter after a pandemic ravages humanity.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because the movie is based on the short film of the same name that was released in 2013, which was a finalist of the Tropfest Australia 2013 short film festival. You can watch the short right here if you have not seen it and are interested.

The images come via Bloody-Disgusting, who also shared a description of Cargo‘s story:

[The movie follows] a father who, stranded in rural Australia in the aftermath of a violent pandemic and, infected himself, desperately seeks a new home for his infant child and a means to protect her from his own changing nature.

Salvation may lie with an isolated Aboriginal tribe, but to gain access he must first earn the allegiance of a young Indigenous girl on a tragic quest of her own.

Both the feature and the short film it’s based on were written and directed by Yolanda Ramke, with Ben Howling co-directing.

Also starring along with Freeman is Anthony Hayes, Susie Porter, Caren Pistorius, Kris McQuade, Simone Landers, and David Gulpilil.
