Mitra fights Knights on the set of ‘Doomsday’

On the set of Doomsday‘Doomsday’ is the new film from Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent) and is currently filming in Glasgow, but is not far away from wrapping (so we hear):

Great Britain, 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.

There’s a clip on youtube obviously filmed by some unscrupulous extra (heh.. awesome) of Rhona Mitra on set, fighting a guy in a suit of Armour. I don’t understand.. this is set in the future right? I hope Marshall isn’t pulling a Knightriders.

Check out the clip here

There’s also a couple of new stills (one pictured) and an article over at the Evening Times here, about the filming currently going on in scotland. I really liked ‘The Descent’ so I have a lot of faith in Marshall to turn out something great with this.
