A Glimpse Into the Dark Future
In a recent conversation with IndieWire, Ralph Fiennes, who joins the cast in a principal role, shed light on the film’s chilling premise. Picture this:
“Britain is now 28 years deep into a catastrophic outbreak of the Rage Virus,” Fiennes explained. “It focuses on a young boy navigating this terrifying landscape, searching for a doctor to save his dying mother.”
As they traverse the hauntingly beautiful terrain of Northern England, lurking in the shadows are the terrifyingly infected, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But amidst the chaos, the boy finds an unexpected ally—a doctor who may appear odd but turns out to be a beacon of hope.
