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. |
They better get Bruce Campbell to play the doom marine, or its doomed to fail. (haha, doomed, geddit?)
|
I reckon Hugh Grant would make a good Doom soldier. Him or Richard Gere would be perfect for the role.
|
Are you all on crack? How can you think Doom marine and not think Bruce Campbell? Shame on you all.
|
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! |
You are all stupid.
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 |
Hail to the king baby!
PS. your link dosnt work |
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. 8-) |
Sounds good and all but that PG rating is a worry.
|
"I reckon Hugh Grant would make a good Doom soldier"
ha ha ha .. a bumbling idiot that tries go get the baddies in the sack rather than kill them.. LoL |
Finally it might get made but the PG rating disturbs the hell outta me. Should be M or MA if anything. If you look at it a bit more, PG-13 = M15+ Here, MA15+ here = R18 Over there. |
Lets face it, to combat the monsters of Hell, you gunna an unstopable squad of the most bad ass monster kickers around.
We will need, Riply, Hicks, Arnie, The Evil Dead guy, There also needs to be a uber brainy alien/monster killer and I cant think of any :/ |
Hugh Jackman is one mean looking guy when he is in 'tough' mode, he'd be good.
:) |
F*** you're a legend Psycho. Yeah, Hugh Jackman kicks so much ass it's not funny. He would be a worthy candidate for that role. So far it's outta Bruce Campbell and Hugh Jackman.
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. |
Hmmm, they have tried a lot of times to make films out of video games, and I cant think of one that was any good.
*shudders at the thought of another Street Fighter* GL to the writers, I hope they come up with something that is worthy of holding the name of such a game!! |
I reckon Resident Evil was awesome. And Tomb Raider wasn't too bad.
And what about Commando 8-) |
Resident evil was good but tomb raider was shocking...
|
well if it's goin to be PG only thats gonna suck, should be rated at least M to make it good |
puff daddy would be the best, or eminem...
both talk about themselves and all they are are c*********s. |
I hate those rappers. They are the biggest wankers, honestly ... |
pg-13 IS the equivalent of our m15+
doesn't anyone remember an addictive little mac game called 'Simcinema'? |
I'd rather they get some unknown actor to play it. All of the current action stars are wisecracking gayheads. I'd prefer the doom movie to be a more serious affair.
|
A Doom Movie would suck like all the other Game based movies! Does anyone remember how s*** Mario Bros, B00B Raider and RE was... ahem! It works well as a game just leave it at that! |
Resident Evil was a j0r movie, as was Mortal Kombat.
|
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. |
Michael Biehn is getting too old. Have you seen what he looks like now? But he is still awesome.
|
That FPS episode of X-Files was j0r.
|
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...
|
IMO, you can;t make a good movie unless it is R rated (or at least MA).
Just my two cents |
The Princess Bride was an awsome movie. It was PG.
|
bhahaha Tol :)
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. |
I wonder what FPS the movie will be running at ;D
|
MICHAEL F*****G BIEHN, MOTHERF*****SYou realise the last place I saw him was in the Tiberian Sun cut-scenes? Yes, that's right... |
bhahaha Tol :) I dont think he was joking, it was actually a pretty awesome movie. Its out on dvd now, as soon as I can justify spending $40 of my rather meager income, I'm gonna buy it. |
i reckon getting sam raimi (to direct) would be a better idea than bruce campbell
sam raimi is an awesome director i luv bruce's work, but he just doesnt feel like a doom guy |
Yes Raimi is good - but it wont matter who directs... They're looking to milk the franchise for all it's worth. Because of that mindset ($) 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. |
DOOM 3 game is going to be cool you young little dwebs have no idea!
|
right... ok, it could be good but it also could be quite lame due to the PG rating.. We wont know till it arrives (if ever). So until then all opinions are void.
