In Response To: "Doom" Movie en Route (:: Beer Can ::)

: This is old news, though I heard it the "day of."

: "Doom" is coming to the silver screen.

: It seems Warner Bros. will be making a "Doom" movie, mostly based
: on the 3rd "Doom" installment.

: They have, I think, 17 months to do so, or the rights revert back to Id
: Software.

: Warners has recently undergone a "regime" wrinkle, possibly for the
: worse (DiBonaventure recently left, infuriated that he was usurped on the
: decision to make a "light" Superman movie (which Brett
: "RUSH HOUR/RED DRAGON" Ratner will direct), as opposed to BATMAN
: vs. SUPERMAN).

: I have no faith in Warners' ability to deliver a decent "Doom"
: film, in part because the "Doom" world is fairly mediocre...a
: regular "Poor-Man's Marathon."

: Yes, "Doom" is another movie based on a video game that will, I'm
: sure, be a complete piece of fucking garbage.

: Enough said.

Wasn't there plans in the works, around, oh, say....
Five or six years ago, for something like this? I'm surprised it's not been made already, in that sort of video-game>>movie phase that Holywood went through. (You know, Tomb Raider, Mortal Combat, etc, etc, etc).I have this GamePro magazine from god knows how long ago, and we're talking LONG ago, that talked about making a Doom movie sometime in the near future. But, who cares.
(Although, now that I think about, it there WAS Resident Evil some while ago. I never saw that, though.)

It's probably better that it'll be made now, so at least there might be some decent special effects to distract from the almost certainly god-awful acting and patheticly weak plot. Anyway, as a general statement, I'm against all forms of translation of video games into movies. It's just a dumb idea, period. I don't really think anyone could even make a good movie out of Marathon, even if they tried. But I think that's been discussed before. : )
