Doomsday in March

For a good while, we’ve been hearing that DOOMSDAY was coming. Not the actual end of the world (which is still scheduled for 2012 per various calendar-counters and religious kooks), but the post-apocalyptic action flick from writer-director Neil Marshall, who previously brought us hairy mayhem and spelunking frights with DOG SOLDIERS and THE DESCENT.

The news finally slipped out over the weekend: DOOMSDAY will be hitting theaters in the US on March 14, 2008, courtesy of Rogue Pictures.

Sexy Rhona Mitra puts on her post-apocalipstick as the heroine of the futuristic mish-mash, leading an elite team of specialists through the UK to walled-off Scotland in the hopes of finding a cure for a lethal global virus. Along the way they’ll deal with mohawked marauders, fireballs, vehicles, yucky diseases, swords, guns, burnt-out landscapes, and probably loud music.
