Amazing news this afternoon as Rogue Pictures has made yet another addition the cast of Neil Marshall's highly anticipated Doomsday. Inside you'll find out who it is, and hopefully he'll make it to set after hunting down one of the most notorious of horror icons. The film is set three decades after a lethal virus tore through a major country, leading to the country's walling off. When the virus, known as the Reaper, resurfaces in another country, an elite group is dispatched to the infected country to find a cure. There, they end up shut off from the rest of the world and must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.
Malcolm McDowell, has joined the cast of Rogue Pictures' action thriller DOOMSDAY, which is in its final month of principal photography under writer/director Neil (THE DESCENT, DOG SOLDIERS) Marshall.
He joins Bob Hoskins, Rhona Mitra, Sean Pertwee, Darren Morfitt, Emma Cleasby, Chris Robson, MyAnna Buring, Nora-Jane Noone, Leslie Simpson and Craig Conway.
The silver-maned and silver-tongued genre vet is having a great year, with his key role on NBC's HEROES (which began its season-ending arc last Monday night) and recently wrapping his turn as Dr. Loomis in Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN update (slated for an August 31st release). In DOOMSDAY, he'll play Kane, the brilliant scientist who is the only true expert on the lethal Reaper virus that an elite group of specialists (led by Eden [Rhona Mitra] and monitored by Nelson [Bob Hoskins]) is battling through what one character calls "hell on earth" to retrieve a cure for.
