Lupita Nyongo’s star is just continuing to shine in Hollywood. The Kenyan actress has landed yet another major role in an upcoming horror movie.

Lupita and fellow Hollywood actor Josh Gad have joined the cast of ‘Little Monsters’. The upcoming movie is a zombie comedy from writer-director Abe Forsythe.

‘Little Monsters’ follows Dave (Alexander England), a washed-up musician who volunteers to chaperone his nephew’s kindergarten class field trip after taking a shine to the plucky teacher, Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong’o).

Dave’s intentions are complicated by the presence of Teddy McGiggle (Josh Gad) the world’s most famous kids show personality — and competition for Miss Caroline’s affections.

One thing none of them bargained for, however, is a sudden zombie outbreak, from which Dave and Miss Caroline must protect the children.

Abe Forsythe will direct and write the motion picture while Snoot Entertainment and Made Up Stories producing. Filming for the movie has already started earlier this month in Sydney, Australia.
