No sooner have they finished their tour as brothers in arms in Warfare than stars Will Poulter and Kit Connor are getting back in action as brothers in a different time, fighting a very different war. Deadline reports that the two are set to star in HanWay Films' Rapture, a film from playwright Jordan Tannahill in his directorial debut as he takes on a medieval horror that sounds like the stuff of nightmares.
Set in 1348, Rapture follows a small group of monks whose life and devotion to God are shaken when an outsider comes with terrible news of a plague that is making its way through the outside world and is slowly approaching their doors. The disease turns its victims into the undead, and soon they're swarming the quiet Yorkshire-based refuge, forcing men of peace to perform unspeakable acts to stay alive and battle their own belief of helping those in need, or sending them to meet God the best way they can.
