What you may need to know:
1. Post-apocalyptic zombie thriller. A virus has wiped out most of humanity and turned the survivors into flesh-eating “hungries”.
2. Adaption of M.R. Carey’s best-selling novel. Directed by Colm McCarthy (Sherlock, Ripper Street).
3. Oh hai dystopian near-future. Long time, no see.
4. We do love Paddy Considine. We didn’t love his “dis dat dese and dose” Oirish priest from Peaky Blinders 3.
5. Broadsheet prognosis: Om nom nom.
Release Date: 23 September.

I also love Paddy Considine.
But on the other hand, I will not watch anything with Zombies.
I’m sick of zombies.
The only Zombie anything I will tolerate is the thing by Fela Kuti.
Ha! Haven’t listened to that in ages. FUNKY. I’m listening to Lady now. I always feel a bit like a big aul racist singing along, though.
That aside, I really enjoyed Ripper Street. Paddy Considine is autistic, isn’t he? Did I read that?
Hmm. I’m not thinking in a linear way today.
Dolores O’Riordan will be very upset.
Hmmmmmm……. look forward to that :)
The book was fantastic.
Gemma Arterton is lurvley…
Point of information: wasn’t a virus in the buke, let’s just say *lowers pince nez* it’s more of a mycological thriller *dons jacket with leather elbow patches, leaves*
Considine was great in Dead Man’s Shoes
Agreed.
His finest hour IMHO….
apart from that Arctic Monkeys video obviously :)
Two faces on the poster but only one of the actors credited?
That’s some bs right there.
We have hit Peak zombie/ Jumped the Zombie Shark etc…..this looks like ’28 Days Later’ ( not the Sandra Bullock one!) meets ‘Children of Men’……
Spot on actually, but you do realise you’re making it sound good?
Did you see Danny Boyle is making another zombie sequel – 28 Years Later.
I mean Trainspotting 2.
*too warm for coat. just leaves*
The book is absolutely cracking so I have hopes for this.
