Doomsday is coming

[Brother None]

We're walking on pretty late on this, but a reminder for everyone to keep an eye on Neil Marshall's Doomsday:<blockquote>Neil Marshall, the British director of the upcoming futuristic apocalypse movie Doomsday, told SCI FI Wire he was inspired by similar movies from the 1980s, such as Escape From New York, Metal Storm and The Warriors.

"It's like everything's been thrown into the mix," Marshall (The Descent) said in an interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 28. "The basic story is, in present day, a virus starts, ... a new virus that nobody knows of, ... in Scotland and starts to wipe out the population of Scotland. And, as a last resort, they basically quarantine the entire country." </blockquote>Neil Marshall directed the excellently amusing Dog Soldiers, and the movie stars my personal favourite actor, Bob Hoskins. Definitely double plus for me.

That is one creepy post apoc picture on the front page of the Doomsday official site.

I'll be looking forward to this.

Cool deal, I enjoyed Dog Soldiers for my first time about a year ago then again with some friends a few months ago... Why do I get a feeling this is yet another movie I wont see gaining coverage in the usa...

Seems if it is not an aliens invasion than it is a virus.

So captivating.

I loved dog soldiers, but the basic outline of this movie reads almost excactly like 28 days later. I hope it isn't anything like it, though.

I hate 'virus movies' but this actually looks pretty good. Nice concept, with Hadrian's Wall and such. Although, looking at the concepts i always wonder why the first thing people do after a world-ending catastrophe is set up industrial metal concerts and start wearing mohawks and leather pants - immediately.

the marauder guy is Prodigy singer? looks ok. Awesome photoshops and fx. I've only seen Descent and it had nothing to do with the game . Was a long X-Files episode.

It looks promising.
