More cast confirmed for ‘Doomsday’
Neil Marshall has very quickly established himself as the new face of british horror, a title he definitely deserves. Marshall's new film 'Doomsday' is apparently more action-thriller than horror film, but certainly sounds like it'll have Horror elements in it.
A lethal virus spreads throughout a major country and kills hundreds of thousands. To contain the newly identified Reaper, the authorities brutally quarantine the country as it succumbs to fear and chaos. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until Reaper violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, including Eden Sinclair (Ms. 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.
So a press release yesterday announced that new cast members including a raft of Marshall alumni have been confirmed. Bob Hoskins will play Bill Nelson a policemen who nominates Eden (Rhona Mitra) for the mission. Other castings are in yet un-confirmed roles. From 'Dog Soldiers'; Sean Pertwee, Chris Robson, Emma Cleasby, and Darren Morfitt. From the Descent; MyAnna Buring and Nora-Jane Noone. From both Marshall's previous films; Leslie Simpson and Craig Conway will return.
Fresh actors to the Neil Marshall fold include; Alexander Siddig (from '24') and Adrian Lester (from 'Hustle').
They start filming 'Doomsday' on February the 9th, in the UK (Presumably soundstage shooting), and South Africa (location shoots).
I need to go watch 'The Descent' again.
