There are very few films out there right now that I’m anticipating as much as the new film from director Neil Marshall, “Doomsday” (no, not the guys who killed the man of Steel). Marshall directed my absolute favorite horror movie of the last 15 years “The Descent”, and ever since I saw it, I’ve been panting to see his next… and his next looks bad ass.
The folks at Coming Soon have this great synopsis:
Doomsday, starring Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Alexander Siddig and Adrian Lester. In the action-thriller, authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.
Hot damn this movie is going to rule. We’ve still got a ways to wait. Our friends in the UK get to see it December 1st 2007. Us here in North America have to wait into 2008. Man I can’t wait for this one.
