Alegis Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 Following in the foot steps of works such as Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy, it is now confirmed that Doom will be next video game to be turned into a theatrical event. According to Universal Pictures, "Doom" will premiere on August 5, 2005 in US movie theaters with international releases planned for the same month. A brief description of the plot indicates that the movie will maintain the "hyper-kinetic, kamikaze style" and take the viewer to the far corners of the galaxy with "a fully-realized vision of a dark and disturbing future". The set and story will be based on the latest version of the game, Doom 3. Written by Dave Callahan the movie is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and John Wells ("The West Wing", "ER"). Actors are not named yet, but are rumored to include The Rock ("The Scorpion King") and Karl Urban ("Chronicles of Riddick"). imdb entry Now it could be frightening, but movies usually have a plot and doom 3 had none...well its a horror movie anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 *stabs alegis* I like the rock <_< Chances are if they try and do an alien-esque styling to it, it'll be pretty good. But if they go the route of RE ( making it more action and fan service instead of horror) then it'll suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 The rock. Oh for gods sake. Screw that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I'd watch it only on the condition that Dwayne (real name) was the Cyberdemon and not have a line of dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 It better be rated R, unlike a certain movie that's come out this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I wrote a screenplay for Quake once, just for fun. Deleted it though, so no chance that they nicked my ideas. Damn! I could have sued them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if it a horror it will be good, something like event horizon but with more demons, you know it won't be though, it will be your typical hollywood action film coz then they don't need decent actors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 i'd think people here would be its target audience, and even we think it is gonna be lame... chances aren't good.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider AL Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 If Karl Urban's still involved, it might be good. Urban's a GOOD ACTOR. In the Bourne Supremacy, he made a 2d character pop into 3d, very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 surely this is the movie that Bruce Campbell was MADE to star in?!? Still, the rock would probably do a quite good Ash-type character. I hear there is a TERRIBLE script going around though, but hopefully it isn't real (virus brings out people's inner demons, hero is SOO GOOD that he takes loads and brings out his inner ANGEL to save the day ) Can't be true... (unless it is gonna be a comedy). Maybe they should base the plot on the old books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 true.... it occured to me last night that the DOOM movie and the Red dwarf movie (see sci-fi thread) are gonna have nearly identical plots..... (last people left behind against an overwhealming enemy, etc..). who would have thought it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
