[1][2] Catherine McCormackis an English actress, known for her stage acting as well as her(born 3 April 1972), screen performances in films such asBraveheart,Spy Game,28 Weeks LaterandDangerous Beauty.

Early life [3] McCormack was born in Epsom, Surrey, England. She has Irish ancestry, as one of her grandfathers was Irish. Her mother died of lupus when McCormack was six years old, and her steelworker father subsequently brought her and [4] [5] her brother Stephen up. She was brought up in the Catholic religion (though is now a "lapsed Catholic") and [6] attended Convent of Our Lady of Providence. She then went on to study at the Oxford School of Drama.

Career

Film McCormack's first notable role was as the character Murron MacClannough in the multiple Academy Award winning filmBraveheart. Her screen debut however was as the lead in the Anna Campion directed filmLoaded, and has subsequently stated that she had a "miserable time with the director (Anna Campion)... it was my first film job, I [4] needed to be mollycoddled, I needed to be helped through it, and I wasn't. Mostly, it was a horrible experience." AfterBraveheart, McCormack had lead roles in Nils Gaup'sNorthstarand Marshall Herskovitz'sDangerous Beauty. Other films includeSpy Gameand28 Weeks Later. Despite being in demand, she does few films, stating that "I read [7] very few scripts I'm passionate about... Maybe one in every twenty or thirty."

Theatre [4] McCormack has shown preference in her career towards the theatre, saying that "theatre really is an actor's medium: you're on stage with no director anymore, whereas in film very rarely do you get much rehearsal other than [8] running through the scene very quickly. Then everyone comes in and shoots it." McCormack was one of the [9] original 2006 London cast of Patrick Barlow's play ofThe 39 Steps. In 2008, she performed the role of Nora inA [10] Doll's House, directed by Peter Hall at the Theatre Royal, Bath, and also the role of Isabel Archer in a stage [11] adaptation ofThe Portrait of a Ladyof which commenced their runs in July 2008, ending in August, before, both transferring to the Rose Theatre in Kingston later that year. In 2009, she appeared in the UK tour of Headlong's adaptation ofSix Characters in Search of an Author.

28 Weeks Lateris a 2007 British/Spanish film, sequel to the 2002 post-apocalyptic horror film28 Days Later.28 Weeks Laterwas directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and released in the United Kingdom and United States on 11 May 2007. The on-location filming took place in London and 3 Mills Studios, although scenes intended to be shot at Wembley Stadium, then undergoing final stages of construction, were filmed instead in Wales, with Cardiff's [1] Millennium Stadium used as a replacement.

28 Weeks Later

Plot During the original outbreak of the Rage Virus, Don, his wife Alice and four other survivors are hiding in a barricaded cottage on the outskirts of London. They hear a terrified boy pounding at their door, who they let in. A few minutes later they find infected have followed the boy to them. The infected attack and kill most of the survivors, and Don, Alice and the boy are chased upstairs. Don is cut off from them by infected and, realising he can't save them, jumps out of a window and leaves them. Don finds a motorboat nearby and narrowly escapes. After five weeks, all the infected have died of starvation. After eleven weeks, NATO forces headed by the US take control of Great Britain. After eighteen weeks the island is declared relatively safe, although still under quarantine. Twenty-eight weeks after the outbreak, an American-led force, under the command of Brigadier General Stone, bring in settlers to re-populate the area. Among the new arrivals are Tammy and Andy, Don and Alice's children, who were in Spain on a school trip during the initial outbreak. They are subsequently admitted to District One, a safe zone guarded by the US Army, on the Isle of Dogs. As they are examined by Major Scarlet Levy, the district's chief medical officer, she notes Andy's differently coloured eyes, a trait inherited from his mother. Sergeant Doyle, a Delta sniper and his friend, helicopter pilot Chief Flynn, are amongst the military presence charged with guarding the district. The children are reunited with their father, who had survived the original infection and was found by the US army, and who has become the district's senior maintenance engineer. In their new flat, Don explains what happened and that after he escaped, he arrived in a military camp and waited with the soldiers through the weeks. The next day, Tammy and Andy, mournful over the loss of their mother, leave the safe zone and proceed to the depopulated London wasteland area to their former house on a scooter, hoping to retrieve and take their old belongings with them. To their shock, they find their mother in a semi-conscious state. Doyle had seen the two children leave the safe zone; they and their mother are subsequently picked up by soldiers and returned to the district. Tammy and Andy are taken back to their living quarters while Alice is taken to a biohazard room where she is tested and found to be an asymptomatic carrier of the Rage Virus. While she doesn't show the uncontrollable rage, she is extremely infectious and the virus causes her eyes to discolour red. Don sneaks through the security and makes an unauthorised visit to Alice in her isolation cell and asks forgiveness for abandoning her at the cottage. When they kiss, however, the Rage Virus in her saliva immediately infects Don, who savagely kills her before going on a rampage, killing and infecting several soldiers in the building. General Stone orders the building to be quarantined and District One to be put into Code Red Lock-down, and civilians are herded into safe rooms. Despite the precautions, Don breaks into a room containing a large crowd and begins killing and infecting them, quickly causing a domino effect of attackers. Scarlet rescues Tammy and Andy from containment as the soldiers in District One are ordered to shoot indiscriminately. Doyle, unable to bring himself to comply with the order, abandons his post and escapes with Scarlet, the children and others through the Greenwich foot tunnel. General Stone then orders that District One be firebombed, but large numbers of the infected, including Don, escape the bombardment. Scarlet informs Doyle that the children may hold the key to a cure and must be protected at all costs. Flynn arrives by helicopter to pick up Doyle, but refuses to take anyone else as they would be shot down if carrying possibly infected people. Flynn contacts Doyle by radio and tells him to head to Wembley Stadium, but to leave the civilians. Doyle ignores his instructions and begins escorting the civilians to Wembley, breaking into an abandoned car to escape nerve gas released to kill the infected. He is burned alive by soldiers as he tries to push start the car. Scarlet drives the car away, but an Apache gunship tries to destroy the car and children; she manages to escape the chopper with the kids. She drives them into the London Underground where, as the trio continue on foot, she is ambushed and killed by Don who then attacks and bites Andy. Tammy shoots Don before he can kill Andy who remains symptom-free, but with his eyes discoloured red like those of his mother, signifying that he is now an unknowing carrier of the Rage virus. The children continue to the Stadium and are picked up by a reluctant Flynn, who flies them across the English Channel to France, as previously instructed by Doyle.

28 Weeks Later

Twenty-eight days later, a French-accented voice requesting help is heard from the radio in Flynn's abandoned helicopter. A group of infected are seen running through a tunnel which, as they emerge into the open, is revealed to be the exit of the Paris Mdtro Trocaddro station with a view of the nearby Eiffel Tower.

Production

Pre-production We were quite taken aback by the phenomenal success of the first film, particularly in America. We saw an opportunity to make a second film that already had a built in audience. We thought it would be a great idea to try and satisfy that audience again. [2] —Danny Boyle on28 Weeks Later,a In 2003, plans for the film were conceived after the international success of28 Days Later. Danny Boyle, Andrew [2] Macdonald and Alex Garland stated that they felt the time was right to make a sequel. In March 2005, Boyle said in an interview that he would not direct the sequel due to commitments toSunshine, but he would serve as executive producer. He also revealed that the film would revolve around a great deal of the
