Doomsday is an upcoming science fiction film written and directed by Neil Marshall. The film stars Rhona Mitra and Bob Hoskins. Doomsday is set to be released March 14, 2008 in the USA.
Doomsday takes place three decades after a lethal virus called the Reaper nearly wipes out Scotland and causes the rest of the world to wall off the country. When the Reaper begins to emerge in another country 25 years later, an elite team and their leader (Rhona Mitra) are sent to the contaminated landscape of Scotland to find a cure.
Director Neil Marshall originally came up with the idea of Doomsday by having a vision of "a futuristic action warrior fighting a knight in armor". The story was inspired by post-apocalyptic thriller films that Marshall had grown up watching. He cited as influences the films Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1981), Escape from New York (1981), Metalstorm (1983), The Warriors (1979), Excalibur (1981), and works of director Terry Gilliam like The Fisher King (1991). Rogue Pictures signed Marshall to direct Doomsday in October 2005, and in November 2006, actress Rhona Mitra was signed to star in Doomsday as the leader of the elite team. Production began on February 9, 2007 in South Africa.
On May 1, 2007, filming in the UK commenced at Scotland's Blackness Castle for a ten-day shoot. Filming also took place in Cape Town and Glasgow. The majority of filming took place in South Africa, with several scenes filmed outside the country in Glasgow.
A massive car chase scene was also filmed for Doomsday, described by Marshall to be one part Mad Max, one part Bullitt (1968), and one part "something else entirely
different". The film also contains the director's trademark gore and violence from previous films, including a scene where a character is cooked alive and
eaten. Paul Hyett, the prosthetic make-up designer who worked on Marshall's previous film The Descent, contributed to the production, researching diseases including sexually transmitted diseases to design the make-up for victims of the Reaper virus.
Marketing and distribution:
In July 2007, Doomsday was presented at Comic-Con with a teaser trailer, additional footage, and teaser posters. The film was previously intended to be distributed by Focus Features under Rogue Pictures, but the company transferred Doomsday among other films to Universal Studios for larger-scale distribution and marketing beginning in 2008.
