Its gonna have alot of the aspects of the game they say, but there is no mention of hell or anything. I had high hopes for this movie, but I think its gonna suck. I even read on IMDB that its gonna be people transformed by a virus:rolleyes: WTF is it gonna be the Resident Evil of the outer space:mad: I dont know what to think. No mention of hell or demons or shit like that. Its gonna blow, what do you all think?

this article is from the dark horizons thread from above:


"A correspondent of Novinky.Cz recently attended the Prague set of "Doom" and reported back a well spring of information in regards to the video game adaptation.

Originally, the $70 million film was supposed to be helmed by Enda McCallion. Later, he was replaced by Andrzej Bartkowiak. Screenwriter Dave Callahan claims "everyone was keen to keep the game's atmosphere", though there are some "minor" changes done to the film's concept: The monsters have nothing to do with hell, the plot is not taking place on Mars and "space marines" are not well "space marines" as their outfits are more like SWAT team members.

The story follows eight marines, teleported into a command centre of a secret base on a remote planet. There, they learn that something strange is happening and soon monsters start to appear. The monsters aren't from hell, but rather people mutated by some nasty super-virus although the monsters look very similar to those in the game.

One character is a technician called "Pinky" who has a cybernetic wheelchair thanks to a bad teleporting accident. Pinky later mutates into something remotely resembling a creature from Doom 3. Producers claim that the film will be more of a horror than an action shooter.

There will be loads of shooting though, especially in the end where a large number of sequences will be shot purely in "first-person" perspective of the leading character (Karl Urban). The chainsaw and Bio Force Gun do appear in the film."

they should have skipped this and gone straight to Quake ..

Most movies based on video games suck, so i wouldnt get my hopes up for it...

Werent they supposed to make a Duke Nukem movie with the Rock too? :confused:

i keep sayin.. they shuolda had henry rollins do it! well if they make a serious sam movie they should have him

would be really neat if they could make the monsters look good....

O YA, i got a look at half life the other day? (my brother has it) itS SICK!! #2 i think

Yeah I agree on that..

Most?

Besides the Mario Brothers Movie ROCKED!

Resident Evil wasn't TOO bad. Well, it had a spooky atmosphere... a bit. :(

OK, point taken.

Then again, I got my daughter the Silent Hill - The Room PS2 game for Christmas, and that, even without making it into a film, scares the crap out of us at times!

resident evil was neat. and thats being nice

as for RE2... HAHHAA!

the really only good game to movie was the first Mortal Kombat movie.

Man, why do they have to mess with a good formula? The Doom games are great, why change the storyline around and screw the pooch in the process? This could have been a seriously good flick with the right direction, leaving the storyline alone and creating the right atmosphere of dread the games give you. This sucks...
