Smith, 32, is set to portray the uninfected man, with Dormer believed to be playing his wife, who does contract the disease and whom he is trying to save.
Stefan Ruzowitzky will direct the project, while Mike Le has penned the screenplay.
Matt can next be seen on the big screen in ‘Terminator: Genisys’ – which sees Arnold Schwarzenegger return to the sci-fi franchise – which hits cinemas on July 3.
