Theireffort to develop a cure within the confines of a walled-off areaquickly devolves into a waking nightmare.
THE BUZZ: The beloved Neil Marshall
blogs hard and long about the production of Doomsday, though his photos and updates can't distract me from the notion that he has already told most of this story in
28 Weeks Later ...and its hard-to-like sequel. Marshall indicates this is an action moviethat is heavy on old-school stuntwork, and the footage we've seenconjures up images and themes we loved in
Mad Max and
Escape from New York.It also announces the arrival of Rhona Mitra as a major force to bereckoned with (just a warm-up for her appearance in the third
Underworld installment). While it's great to know that Marhsall is growing the cast and crew family that has been with him since
Dog Soldiers, I just hope he isn't recycling ideas already. London? Viruses? Haven't we been scared by this.
