Bringing along her friends “sexy low voice” and “characteristic slouch,” Mischa Barton recently spoke to HuffPost Live about life after SoCal soap The O.C. Specifically, her new project Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard, which is about fracking (!):

It’s with Billy Zane and it’s a zombie, post-apocalyptic movie about fracking, the effects of fracking if we lived in a post-apocalyptic world where there were zombies created through something in the fracking sites.

Lucky for us, Zombie Killers: Elephant’s Graveyard is the first in a trilogy. It’s unclear whether all three are about fracking or predominantly the first one. IMDB describes the storyline:

The rural town of Elwood is a “bubble” against the backdrop of a suspected global infection that has apparently destroyed civilization. A small band of young adults under the training of ex-military soldier Seiler (Billy Zane) are all that keeps the town safe while patrolling the fence line that locks the residents inside. There is something wrong with the town as something worse than what’s outside the fence closes in on its residents.

According to the official synopsis, there are zombies outside the town when the movie starts, and Barton will be searching for a “reason behind the plague.” (We’re guessing that’s where the fracking comes in.) What could be worse that zombies spawned by fracking? Bet America’s gas companies can’t wait to find out.
