According to The Hollywood Reporter, writer/director Neil Marshall has cast the lead in his upcoming futuristic sci-fi thriller DOOMSDAY, and in keeping with the strong female roles showcased in his hit THE DESCENT, the new movie’s hero is a woman. Rhona Mitra, whose credits include HIGHWAYMEN, BEOWULF, HOLLOW MAN and the upcoming SKINWALKERS, will play the leader of an elite group of people sent to find the cure for a deadly virus called the Reaper.
The search takes them into a walled-off country where the plague ravaged the populace three decades before, and where the team confronts a series of horrific situations. Filming begins early next year for Rogue Pictures release.
