As part of Universal's 2008 Preview, we're getting our first "official" look at their upcoming DOOMSDAY. Neil Marshall penned the screenplay and directed. It stars Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Alexander Siddig and Adrian Lester. To visit the official site, click here.

Plot Summary: In the action-packed new thriller, from writer/director Neil Marshall (The Descent, Dog Soldiers), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades—until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city.

An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

DOOMSDAY is still under TBA 2008 status.

Even those this doesn't sound like anything special, I'm still looking forward to it. I loved Neil Marshall's previous two films, Dog Soldiers and The Descent.
