DOOM the movie
 

The first few details have emerged about Doom: the Movie, "loosely" based, of course, on the iconic first person shooter game of the early Nineties. Dark Horizons has ten photos from the film, due for release on 21st October in the US, and a week later in Blighty.

The film stars WWE wrestling star-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Sarge, and there are a handful of other actors you may recognise from recent films. New Zealander Karl Urban (The Bourne Supremacy, Chronicles of Riddick, Lord of the Rings) plays the lead character of John Grimm, Bond-totty Rosamund Pike plays "Samantha", and North London's own Dexter Fletcher (Lock Stock, Band of Brother, Deadwood, Layer Cake) will play "Pinky".

The film will be Andrzej Bartkowiak's fourth as director, having previously directed Jet Li in Romeo Must Die and Cradle 2 the Grave, and Steven Seagal in Exit Wounds. If that doesn't sound like much of a resume, Bartkowiak's record as a Cinematographer has somewhat greater credibility. Thirty two films, from Terms of Endearment in 1983, the Michael Douglas classic Falling Down, and a string of Nineties action flicks: Speed, Species, US Marshals and Lethal Weapon 4.

What next ? Max Payne the movie ! Well yes : -

Max Payne Movie confirmed !

It will be CRAP!

They should stick with remaking movies from 20-60 years ago. And Making movies on old/new comic books. Leave videogames alone.

It will most likely be crap. It's extremely loosely based on the movie. It won’t be set on Mars, won’t include monsters from Hell and won’t star space Marines. One new thing though... there are plans for several scenes shot in first-person. As of now, this is the only connection to the game.:angery:

It will be like aliens vs preditor, resident evil, tomb raider etc etc - so its option 1 for me

ah you're all so cynical (Kev and Dave I'm talking to you here!) i know my previous efforts may have left you little jaded but..... I'm going for option 3 but then I have to really don't I?

that's not true, there's a lot more connections to the game and yes there is a whole FPS sequence and it's frickin awesome! trust me!

:D
