Neil Marshall’s Doomsday

July 28, 2007

Director Neil Marshall (The Descent) was at Comic Con to promote his upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller Doomsday. Here’s the description from Slashfilm:

The place is Great Britain. The year is 2007. A deadly plague, known as the “Reaper Virus,” has broken out, killing hundreds of thousands in its wake. In desperation, the British Government evacuates as many survivors as it can out of the infected area, and then builds a wall, preventing the remainder from escaping. Thirty years later, with the wall still up and the victims all but forgotten, the virus breaks out again. The Government decides to send a crack team of operatives, led by Major Eden Sinclair, into the hot zone to investigate the possibility of a cure. They discover that not only are their survivors but they have formed tribes at war with each other. They are in a race with time to save a whole country from death.

This sounds amazing, and I cannot wait. It’s set for release in early-to-mid 2008. The official website is up over at doomsdayiscoming.com. You can also find a ton of poster art here, or right here:
