Neil Marshall's Doomsday Trailer Launches!

I hope you haven't forgotten about Doomsday, the newest film from The Descent director Neil Marshall that I featured a few weeks ago. A brand new trailer has launched for this sci-fi action thriller and it looks pretty awesome. If the first minute or so bores you, then just WAIT, because the thing really ramps up about 1:25 into it. By the end, if you're an action fan or Mad Max fan at all, you'll definitely be grinning. Although I was excited beforehand, now I'm even more excited. This looks absolutely badass! And there's a nice Rhona Mitra ass shot in the trailer, too.
If you're curious to find out more about Doomsday or read a great diary on the production from Neil Marshall, then head over to this article.
Watch the trailer for Neil Marshall's Doomsday:

Doomsday is both written and directed by Neil Marshall, who previously wrote and directed 2006's horror flick The Descent and Dog Soldiers. The movie arrives in theaters on March 14th this year.

Haha, I read your synopsis of the trailer before watching it, and when you said that fans of Mad max would be grinning, I took it with a grain of salt, being a huge fan of the style of mad max. Until 9as mentioned) 1:25 it looks slightly mediocre. 1:25 hits and they show they guy giving the monologe saying "This is our city", all mad max-ed out, and I had a grin on my face. The movie looks fantastic.

Well...I can't say this really made me more interested in it. I actually liked it up till the 1:25 mark, then it went down hill from there. It doesn't look that original (everything in that trailer has been done before), but I loved The Descent, so I will probably give this a chance.

I started to get a little excited when they were using words like, "containment, outbreak, infected etc." I was thinking "I Am Legend, Dawn of the Dead, 28 Weeks Later. Then those Mad Max guys killed my Buzz. Looks pretty lame.

Wow! Just wow! I've been following this project for months and months and man! This looks just freaking amazing! I love it all ready! This is Mad Max of our generation! Looks like wicked fun! "This is OUR city!"

Does every "post-apocalyptic" film have to have stupid hair styles, and gladiator like fights to the death? I just don't get it. Sure, the collapse of society would be bad, but you would think that even among the really angry people there would be a group of them that would not be a bunch of morons.

Haven't really heard about this film until now - I find it awesome that they quarantine Scotland and contain the virus in there! What I don't understand is that they filmed most of it in South Africa...anyone that has been to Scotland must realise the climate is a bit...different.

Looks cool but looks kinda average, however I do have faith in Marshall for it to be above and beyond. Very happy that it looks as if the studios gave him a big budget. However, Rouge..eh...

Sorry Alex, I was aiming for SHIT. This looks like something coming from Uwe Bolls dreams, not in a good way. The guy made The Descent, great horror movie, and this is what he does next??? The movie might be good but it looks average at best... Give me 28 Months or Years Later...

Not so sure about this. Looks like it borrows a little too much from "Mad Max" and "28 Days/Weeks Later." I was hoping for something a little more original. For kids who didn't grow up with the Mad Max movies, this might look like something 'new,' but the rest of us know better. When you had the director/writer talking about the film and how it was more like a 'real' virus movie rather than a zombie movie, I had hope it was going to be cool, but this just looks like it is cliched in another way. Yeah, not a zombie movie...but a definite rip off of another big movie.

as fun as this could be I want someone to create a movie where its post apocolyptic and everything, and some survivors who were cut off from the rest of the world (locked themselves away for 10-15 years) then come back and meet other survivors expexting weird hairstyles, monsters, and rival gangs/anarchy, only to find life and society rebuilding itself in a normal matter. I could see this convo going down: survivor 1: where are all the weird hairstyles, gang warfare and mutants? Survivor 2: you watched too many movies. heh, classic

Well during the first half of the trailer I thought, "Hmm another zombie flick that could quite possibly be promising, and then they had to go Mad Max on em'. Yup, l think this one will be getting bootlegged...

All of you say so much shit about how all these moives will be shit, crap, etc. How many moives have you made. Most ideas have been done already. At least 3-4 moives come out every Friday right take that and span it over 80 years, of course fewer moives at the begining of the Silver Screen. That is an insurmountable number of films. There are still ideas that have not been done, but mostly moives will pull from a basic Idea that has been done and try to build there own work off of it. I dout any of you could Act, Direct, Write for shit in the industry, so insted you must critizes and cut down every single film has a ton of people just spewing off at how much it will such or how they hate the director/ or actors. Those who cant do teach, those who cant teach become ctitics. Cant be a critic? Post ignorantly on the Internet. Film looks like a throw back to Mad Max and i will be in ine to see it next Friday. One more thing, Avelanch The talk about how all post apoctoliptic worlds are shit with gangs and wired hairdoes, etc. What about BattleField Earth, The Time Machine, The Postman, I AM Legend, there are plenty of Films that dont rely on the Gang War Future so dont freak out when they make one thay dont come out that often, i cant off the top of my head think of on in the last couple of years
