New DOOMSDAY Images Spread Like a Virus
February 26, 2008

Now that the 2008 movie slate is in full swing, Universal Pictures has released a series of new images for the upcoming Neil Marshall helmed DOOMSDAY, which hits theatres on March 14. Although a number of images have already hit the internet, the latest round of stills give us hope that the film will be a cooler than average estrogen fuelled urban actionfest within a world threatened by the deadly Reaper virus. Although we highly doubt the tone of the film will be as serious in nature as Children of Men, the burned out and flaming transport vehicle reminds of the rampant chaos within last year's critical Clive Owen hit.

For a look at the latest images and insight into the story, check out all of the latest goodies below...

"In the action-packed new thriller DOOMSDAY, from writer/director Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades--until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city."

"An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona 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."
