Warfare’s Kit Connor & Will Poulter Fight Medieval Zombies in Horror Movie Rapture

by

Actors Kit Connor and Will Poulter have been tapped to headline the upcoming medieval zombie horror film titled “Rapture.” The production team plans to start shooting this movie in Hungary later in 2023.

The upcoming project signifies Jordan Tannahill’s first foray into features, and it brings Connor and Poulter together again, as they previously worked together in Alex Garland’s film Warfare produced by A24. Notably, Rapture is being produced by the same team behind Infinity Pool, Past Lives, and The Brutalist.

Who else is in the Rapture cast?

Acclaimed actor Manu Ríos is set to team up with Connor and Poulter for the main roles in the upcoming horror film titled “Rapture.” As of now, specifics about the characters they’ll portray are still under wraps. This chilling movie, slated for release soon, is set in 14th-century England and focuses on a baffling disease that transforms sufferers into ravenous, undead beings with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Here’s the synopsis (via Deadline):

The narrative unfolds in Medieval England during the year 1348, focusing on Lansley Abbey, an isolated stone monastery nestled in Yorkshire. Here reside ten monks who adhere to a strict lifestyle of discipline and devotion, maintaining a tranquil existence. However, this harmony is shattered by the arrival of a messenger from beyond the abbey walls, bearing grim tidings. He brings word of a terrifying illness sweeping across the land, characterized at first by hemorrhagic fever. What follows is a chilling transformation: the afflicted become ‘revenants’ – restless, undead beings.

In the face of this relentless pandemic, I find myself drawn to Lansley Abbey, a place transformed into a battleground. Desperate outsiders plead for shelter as the infected masses threaten to breach its fortified walls. The monks are torn asunder by an internal moral chasm – some advocating for compassion towards the afflicted, while others seek to safeguard the centuries-old knowledge guarded within the monastery’s hallowed walls. As death sweeps through unabated, so too does the capacity of these brothers to perform acts of selfless kindness and cold betrayal, compelling them to grapple with the most profound question: what truly defines us as human?

Known primarily for his roles in films such as The Maze Runner, Midsommar, The Revenant, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and others, Poulter has previously acted in productions like School of Comedy, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and We’re the Millers.
