We got an exclusive inside tip this morning that both Eddie Redmayne and Carice Van Houten (Dorothy Mills, Repossession Mambo) have been cast alongside Sean Bean in Christopher Smith’s (Creep, Severance) latest horror pic Black Death. Medieval England has fallen under the shadow of The Black Death. In this apocalyptic world, filled with fear and superstition, a young monk called Osmund is charged with leading a fearsome knight, Ulric (Sean Bean) and his group of mercenaries to a remote marsh. Their quest is to hunt down a necromancer – someone able to bring the dead back to life. Torn between his love of God and the love of a young woman, Osmund discovers the necromancer, a mysterious beauty called Langiva. After Langiva reveals her Satanic identity and offers Osmund his heart’s desire, the horror of his real journey begins.
