Doom 3 Movie Planned

I stole this link from Voodoo Extreme. Pretty sneaky hey!

Yahoo has an update on the story with more information and a quote from id CEO Todd Hollenshead. The Hollywood Reporter has news that Warner Bros. is in final negotiations for the rights to a DOOM movie which must be made within fifteen months or the rights go back to id. Also, the plot line will follow Doom 3 and they're aiming for a PG-13 rating. Thanks ShackNews.

Once the deal is firmly in place, a writer will be put on board to pen the screenplay. Although the video game was controversial because of its violence when it was originally released, the feature film version will aim for a PG-13 rating. "Doom," a first-person shooter, launched in 1993, and a third installment is scheduled for release next year. The feature film's story line will most resemble the third "Doom," which is set in the future at a paramilitary base on Mars, where a scientific experiment goes awry and accidentally opens a portal to hell.


Finally it might get made but the PG rating disturbs the hell outta me. Should be M or MA if anything.

Theyll want to make some money out of it, so theyll probably have the main character running around the place capturing all the little monsters in little balls. Hence the PG rating

Of course Bruce would rock so very hard, but the ghey movie producers would be too ghey to pick him for the role. He's a very underrated actor. They need Sam Raimi to make it so Bruce can team up with him again.

more then likly there will be more then 1 doom person, i doubt they would make a movie with just one guy running around killing big monsters, as sweet as that would be i dont think the general gist of the public would like it specially if its only pg! so you will have a female doom guy a black doom guy a funny white doom guy and azn doom guy and a big tough bad ass doom guy... other possible characters.. brainy computer wizz doom guy/mechanic maybe. emotionaly unstable doom guy, kamakazi doom guy, christian doom guy and satanic goth doom guy, thats just a few, think of the endless stereotypes they could use

my pick would be to just grab the whole cast to predator and use them, sifnt billy killing a group of imps!

Doom 3 movie == PeeWee Hermon as the Doom Marine, now that'd be a PG movie ;D
Greydon, Multiplayer Doom Movie :D

One dude will be Green, another Blue, another Red ... And they will be playing Co-oP with the occasional FF kill, but they will respawn in a puff of green teleporty stuff.

If only it wasnt PG we might have seen a Telefrag :D

a funny white doom guy


F*** I hope they don't write someone like that into the script. I hate nothing more than to watch a thriller or horror movie and have some lame-ass character cracking lame-ass jokes through out it. Really ruins the whole movie. And I don't want a female character in it who screams when ever she sees an alien or have stupid marines walking backwards in a dark area and back into a monster and then get killed.

And talking of dark areas, why do all spaceships of the future have s*** lighting? The Enterprise has good lighting through out the ship so why can't all others have it? I know it is for atmosphere, but it would suck working in conditions like that. Here's an idea: have full on lights everywhere and then have an explosion f*** them up so it goes darker. Is it that hard.

If you look at it a bit more, PG-13 = M15+ Here, MA15+ here = R18 Over there.

Hmmm, only time will tell.

Oh, by the way. If you're looking for a good movie to watch tonight, go down to your local Video Ezy and rent out Paperback Hero. Damn, that's a good movie.

At the end of the day Doom 3 is going to just be a 1st person shooter it may have a good story like half-life and it might be the new standard in game engine, but it's still going to be stuck within the 1st person genre, which in my opinion is a far overdone area..

But then again this might have a few suprises that really set it apart from the other people and make it a standout.

Producers are said to be John Wells and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Anyone know anything about them?
Id's Todd Hollenshead quotes 'Doom' is our baby, the crown jewel of our intellectual property franchises, and Warners' interest in it was more than just talk. It actually puts on paper that if they don't move at a satisfactory pace, we can take it somewhere else. We're just a little game developer here in Texas, not a big movie company, so we were more interested in a commitment to make a movie rather than talk about how excited someone was about it."
Sounds like Id's keen .....

Doom 3 will suck - ID are caught in a Mire... The only good they do now is create great engines for other companies to make interesting games with. The movie will suck also - the projected PG rating says it all: bleh... They're going mass market with it, and you all know what that means; Tshirts, toys, and a piece of s*** Movie. I bet you any money! It's gonna be craaap...

On engines Renderware (the engine used in GTA3 and AFL 2003) Is a company that soley makes engines, and they are doing extremely well the market for middleware engines increases dramatically so the long and expensive work of engine design is becoming less popular against licensing an engine with great tools and a flexible design.

Yes Raimi is good - but it wont matter who directs... They're looking to milk the franchise for all it's worth. Because of that mindset ($) the movie is 'doomed' before they even start filming - to be sure, it will probably find moderate mainstream success, and this is why it will suck.
IMO, unless the movie is utterly terrifying ie) R - then it has failed to live up to the name. Sure, the princess Bride was okay, but it had a decent plot to build on. Doom has a moonbase filled with Hellspawn and one guy armed to the teeth. I can't wait to see what kinda bs story they try to build into it: Doom has NO story.
