Early life
Marshall was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. At the age of 11, he was inspired to become a film producer after seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). He began making home movies with Super 8 mm film, and in 1989, he attended Newcastle Polytechnic's film school. He spent eight years as a freelance film editor.
Career
He was hired to co-write and edit director Bharat Nalluri's first film, Killing Time, in 1995. Marshall continued to write and produce his own projects, directing his first film, Dog Soldiers, a horror film in the United Kingdom and the United States, which became a cult film. In 2005, he penned The Descent, his second horror film. He was identified as a member of The Splat Pack due to his current location. Marshall was nominated for Best Director of the United Kingdom Independent Film Award, and the film received the Saturn Award for Best Horror Film.
Doomsday, his next film, is a 2008 science fiction action film that he wrote and directed. The film takes place in Scotland, which has been quarantined due to a lethal virus. Political figures in London alert a team led by Major Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) to Scotland to search for a potential cure. Two kinds of survivors are present in Sinclair's team: marauders and medieval knights.
Doomsday was designed by Marshall based on the belief that futuristic soldiers would face medieval knights. Mad Max, Escape from New York, and 28 Days Later were among the film's inspirations. Marshall's earlier two films had a three-fold budget. In Scotland and South Africa, the producer shot the larger-scale Doomsday. On March 14, 2008, the film was released in the United States and Canada, as well as in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2008. Doomsday did not do well at the box office, and analysts gave the film mixed feedback. Rotten Tomatoes said that 49% of critics gave the film favorable reviews, based on a sample of 69 individuals with an average score of 5.1/10. The film has an average score of 51, which gives a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream journalists.
Marshall went on to write and direct Centurion, a 2010 war film starring Michael Fassbender and Dominic West. He wrote and directed a segment "Bad Seed" of the anthology horror film Tales of Halloween, which had its world premiere on July 24th, 2015 at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
Marshall produced episodes of several television shows, including Black Sails, Constantine, Hannibal, Westworld, Timeless, and Lost in Space, the latter two of which he also produced. For his role on the Game of Thrones episode "The Watchers on the Wall," he was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. Marshall and his sous-inventor Marc Helwig formed Applebox Entertainment in February 2015 and signed a two-year contract with Legendary TV.
Marshall decided to direct a Hellboy revival in 2017, which was announced in April 2019. Marshall has since disowned the film, criticizing the script, describing the job as "the worst personal experience of my life." Marshall didn't attend a film in nine years due to not having a film in nine years and also being intrigued by the horror pitch.
He wrote and directed The Reckoning, which was released in 2020. Scarlett Productions was founded by actress Charlotte Kirk.
