KRAKKA-DOOM!

The trailer for Neil Marshall’s Doomsday is out. (Make sure to click on one of the hi-res quicktime links instead of watching the fuzzy streaming version.) Sadly, it’s not very good–over-narrated and edited for maximum blandness. However, you can dimly make out what looks to be a vastly more interesting and entertaining homage to John Carpenter than, say, Planet Terror, with the references to other ’80s post-apocalyptic classics like The Road Warrior, The Running Man, and even Aliens playing just as large a role as Escape from New York. Plus, Bob Hoskins and David O’Hara (the guy who played Frank Costello’s least-comprehensible Irish thug in The Departed). I’ll be there, but they really need to do better with the next trailer.
