The project is being directed by The Continental's Mel Gibson, with a screenplay written by Jared Rosenberg.
Dockery, best known for playing Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey, has a busy slate coming up, which includes horror movie Please Don't Feed the Children, the directorial debut of Steven Spielberg's daughter Destry Allyn Spielberg.
The story follows the aftermath of a viral outbreak that ravages the country's adults, as "a group of orphans heads south in search of a new life, only to find themselves at the mercy of a deranged woman harboring a dangerous secret".
