Doomsday posters at the Con

Neil Marshall's follow-up to the slightly over-rated horror flick The Descent is the apocalyptic sci-fi movie Doomsday starring Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Alexander Siddig and Sean Pertwee among others. The plot sounds a lot like 28 Days Later but hey, how often is it we get an original idea these days anyway.
After a deadly plague known as €œThe Reaper Virus€ has killed thousands in Great Britain, the Government evacuates as many survivors as it can out of the infected area, and then builds a wall, preventing the remainder from escaping. Thirty years later, with the wall still up and the victims all but forgotten, the virus breaks out again and a elite team of operatives are sent to investigate a cure.
AICN are at the San Diego Comic Con and have snapped a couple of the teaser posters for the movie that are being showcased. Two of them are below but you can see the rest by clicking here. They don't really do all that much for me but I have to say Malcolm McDowell has a great face for movie posters!
