Gamespy article on Doom movie!

What's most striking, however, is how much everything feels straight out of DOOM 3. As we walk through the corridors of one set, CEO Todd Hollenshead points out the various textures on the pipes and the walls, which have the same bumpy surfaces you'd find throughout the game. The grated walkways, the dig site, the portal chamber -- you could easily point to any of these sets and think of corresponding areas in the game. According to Hollenshead, the team at id worked closely with the production staff, providing concept art and source materials to work with, and while we'll have to wait to see how well the sets translate to film, in person, it's a truly surreal experience to be standing inside a DOOM level.

Looks like it might not suck! (note that I said "might" :E )

I've seen the trailer.

1) The movie does not have hell.

2) The latex body suits made me laugh and cry at the same time in pain.

3) The people are not demons, instead they are genetically altered people...

Resident Evil anyone?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

The trailer made it look utter shite, the rock was in it i think, and some of it was in first person...then i laughed so hard i nearly crapped myself.

 

[Teta_Bonita]

still looks kinda cool tho.... :upstare:
EDIT: just watched the trailer... holy shit that looks horrible!
I'm an optimist though, so I'm gonna wait for the reviews before I admit that it sucks. :E

 

[Evo]

Hope they do do the games justice, only a month left to wait and see

Is that the Pinky "Demon'?It's back looks shitty it has wheels instead of robo-feet!

yeah, the pc gamer magazine said that it spawned off an infected wheel-chair scientist, and it looks really dumb

I was actually going to make some sort of joke post about it being an infected wheelchair user....jesus

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Thats just gay.Oh well at least Uwe ****ing Bole didn'y get his dirty hands on it.

 

[JNightshade]

you mean Boll? Yeah, praise the lord for that...

 

[MultiVaC]

How can it be a Doom movie without a Hell scene? That's the coolest part of the Doom guy's adventure. ghey!!111!

 

[Absinthe]

Because they were worried it might turn off Christian audiences. Like they ever ****ing cared (aside from the extreme fundies).

Any way, the trailer and all the information I've read regarding the film have led me to believe that it will suck. Suck ass. Suck so much ass that it will turn into a gaseous balloon, rotting on the inside and killing children with its odor. A scientist in a wheelchair being turned into a pinky? Wow, good job. How about you cornhole us some more, guys.

**** it. Let's go bowling.

 

[bam23]

Well you gotta admit, the pinky looks cool.

I'm sneaking this one.

 

[Absinthe]

Pinky looks like a demon cripple. Would Hell settle for that? No. He'd be booted from demon camp and sent home.

 

[bam23]

Okay, well, at least the front half.

 

[Uriel]

I'm a Christian and in no way would hell offend me in any manor. I mean good heck, adding hell should only make christians want to see it. Some marine killing demons from hell and saving earth? COME ON PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I shoulda wrote the screenplay.

A monkey with a hardon and having a pair of pliars sticking out of its rectum would write a better screenplay then those douchebags...don't feel happy about that

[SARCASM]"OH MY GOD, THIS ZOMBIE IS RAPING MY ASS!"
"Yeah it spawned off some gay receptionist."[/SARCASM]

To be fair, it's not the writers' fault entirely. They were forced to make cuts and alterations in the script because of studio bigwigs.

 

[J_Tweedy]

Haha that wheelchair thing is O for Oresome.

Hell's chariot ftw!!

 

[Jintor]

Here's a thousand monkeys. The pliers are thataway...

 

[Asknoone]

Hahaha..this looks, suckeh

 

[Adabiviak]

All bets are off for making comparisons - these are not demons, they are mutated people. Does pinky look different? Of course, because it's not Pinky! Pinky was one of a number of demons spawned from hell, according to the Doom story. This thing is a mutated scientist, not according to the Doom story. I will see this movie because I have to know if it sucks, because I'm hoping against all odds that it won't. Everyone said Alien V. Predator sucked, and I loved that movie. At least now I know not to go in the theater expecting to see Doom, I'll see a Doom-like story that hopefully will be fun.

Have to admit that I laughed when I saw the first person perspective though.

 

[Element Alpha]

They're just trying to piss us off. The trailers, the so called "zombie-story", it's all fake. Look deep inside yourself. Really deep.

I think they're setting us up. Let me explain:

-the most important aspect of doom: hell. Why change it, the game's rated 17+ anyway (and they didn't care then)?
-special guest appearences by britney spears and adam sandler: that's hell already, why stop there?
-why stick so much effort to reproducing the game scenary when you'd be changing the plot?
-ID software doesn't need the money that bad, and I can't remember hearing/reading a sell-out story about John Carmack. Why would he murder his baby and then puke on it?

So put on your aluminium hats, and start unfoiling this conspiracy.

That's funny! Id may not be strapped for cash, but everyone's got a price. I almost shat when I heard "Jane Says" being played for a beer commercial. Here's the dialogue paraphrased:

Publisher, "Id, we'd like to give you money to let us make a movie based on one of your old games, and we'd like artistic input from you."

Id, "okay."
