Doom Movie Story

Mute1788 · March 21st, 2005, 05:07 PM

I found some stuff on the Doom movie:

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.

--WTF are they thinking. A "nasty super-virus", it's been done! Hello? Resident Evil anyone. And how about this: The monsters aren't from Hell. Nuf said with that... The BFG, or "Bio Force Gun" will be in it, and at least there will be a lot of shooting though...

This movies will probably blow.

Well the BFG may be the only good part of this movie. Though there was something I heard a while back that said the movie actually was going to be set on Mars. I can't believe Id is letting the movie industry do this to Doom.

This may have been aswered previously, but when is this scheduled to be finished? Or has it even been?

Mute1788 · March 21st, 2005, 05:40 PM

It's done. Uh,... October I think it comes out?

ChexBoss · March 21st, 2005, 06:47 PM

I just did some reading. I read August.

And apparently not so many people are psyched about it.

Mute1788 · March 21st, 2005, 06:52 PM

Oh, ya think? Yeah I just found out, it is in August...

but you gotta think, what about those people who have no clue what doom 3 the game is?

She-wolf · March 22nd, 2005, 05:02 AM

Pity them? I don't know, maybe some of them will do an internet search and find out what it is really all about?

WinstonSmith6079 · March 22nd, 2005, 06:37 AM

A Bio Force Gun...??? Okay I am not going to see this movie!

...Stupid fkrs! >:I Whadda buncha jackasses!

No wait! I hope this movie would take place not only not on Mars, but in Lollypop Land!

Gee I sure hope I get to watch the...SWAT...team run all over it and pick pretty flowers. I hope that all the guns are made out of BIIIIG candy-canes!

...Ummmm...beat the crap out of a yuppie. Do it today!

I decided to stop bothering about how much this movie will suck. In fact, I want it to suck. Better to have a few laughs out of it.

Mute1788 · March 22nd, 2005, 11:27 AM

I'm still going to see it though, just so I can write an angry letter to the developers.

Gu-X · March 22nd, 2005, 05:15 PM

God, I hope its not bad, It'll ruin dooms rep.

Hey somebody oughta make a mod like that for classic Doom and/or DoomÂ³, seriously.

Shoot the Rock, shoot the director, shoot the script-writer(s), mutilate all the dumb fukers that seek to ruin Doom! I'd make it myself if I was that technically knowledgable!

XDelusion · March 22nd, 2005, 11:57 PM

I knew it. It's CRAP! Thank you Hollywood, thank you for killing art.

ok, i do not know everybodys problem! I dont want to be mean, but you all sound like fanboys because one Movie wont follow the story line exactly. A movie needs Story more than anything else, and doom, being a run an gun game, doesnt have much to offer(for a movie, anyway). Constant action does not satisfy the complete public. Plus, people in the general movie audience want more than one main character. If the doomguy was the only main character, thousands will have been turned off. Plus sideplots need to be added, and generally, i feel that im gonna enjoy it more with less resmblence to the game. Look at resident evil, its only loosely based on the game, and it was a good movie.

Mute1788 · March 23rd, 2005, 04:15 AM

True... But there aren't even going to be hellspawn.

Changing the story to make the movie more appealing to the general public is only a second best approach. They shouldn't make movies about games to begin with. And vice versa.

Aliotroph? · March 23rd, 2005, 09:04 AM

Heh, I already said this would have been better as an independent movie. Those guys will put anything in a movie and a lot of the time that's a good thing.

Unconscious_Doomer · March 23rd, 2005, 11:01 AM

I'm a huge fan of Doom, but I think a live action of it would suck... It'd be watching some guy play Doom 3.

I think it's good they are twisting it a bit.
