Neil Marshall’s “Doomsday”, released last year, didn’t exactly set the world on fire. I thought it was fine, and Rhona Mitra was incredibly sexy in the role while still kicking all kinds of ass. So a TV version of the movie? Hey, why not. At least, it’s “official” enough that someone has created an IMDB.com page for it, and it even lists a director, writer, and stars, as well as the fact that the Sci Fi Channel will be distributing it (as well as showing it on its airwaves, one presumes).


Written and directed by Neil Marshall (”Dog Soldiers”), “Doomsday” is a sci-fi/post-apocalyptic tale set in the future. Or, at least, a futuristic version of the UK in 2007. A deadly virus. Millions dead. Great walls are built. Mutants. And Rhona Mitra and a crack team of commandos in action. What more could you ask for?
