Cast
Rhona Mitra as Eden Sinclair, the leader of the elite team sent to find a cure. The heroine was inspired by the character Snake Plissken. Mitra worked out and trained in fighting for eleven weeks for the film. Marshall described Mitra’s character as a soldier who has been rendered cold from her military indoctrination, and her journey to find the cure for the virus is one of redemption.
Bob Hoskins as Bill Nelson, a policeman who nominates Sinclair for the mission and monitors her progress.
Malcolm McDowell as Kane, a former scientist who found the cure for the virus and now lives as a feudal lord in an abandoned castle.[6] McDowell described his character as a King Lear. According to Marshall, Kane is based on Kurtz from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. The director originally sought to bring Sean Connery out of retirement to play Kane but was unsuccessful.
Craig Conway as Sol, the son of Kane and the leader of the Marauders, a renegade gang that was left behind in Scotland.
