Doomsday Trailer on Cloverfield..

By  | 

doomsdaydude.jpgLast night there was an extended trailer for Doomsday, and let me tell you that this is going to be one of the best post apocalyptic movie ever created. Honestly after watching the trailer’s for it, I am rooting for these crazy badass dudes and not for the government.   I dont know what it is, but after ‘The Devils Rejects’ I have rooted for the crazy fucked up guys like I really rooted for the insane redneck dudes in ‘Smoking Aces’.

For those of you that dont know anything about this movie here is the synopsis and extended info from wikipedia.

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 30 years later, an elite team and their leader (Rhona Mitra) are sent to the contaminated landscape of the walled-off country 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.[10] 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.
