More DOOM MOVIE Casting News!

By Zapzac September 22, 2004 1:46 PM

We announced in July of this year that popular video game DOOM would get a shot at the big screen and later that pro-wrestler The Rock would star. As of the 20th, New Zealand born actor Karl Urban has signed on to play a scientist named John Grimm and British actress Rosamund Pike is now also attached. Polish helmer Andrzej Bartkowiak will direct the feature, which has had a long development history.

Yes, two hours of a camera going down corridors with a gun at the bottom of the screen. What a cool movie that will make.

maybe when movies come around august they do seem to suck because i hear rumors that doom will be in theaters in august 2005. so you got to ask yourself "this might suck or might not".

Who on the face of planet would cast the ROCK in a movie...he is one of the worst actors ever.If anything is goin to mess this movie up it will be his horrible acting...and to the tard who thinks the movie is gonna be just like the game needs to slap him self, THanks

Actually, the Rock is shaping up.  His acting debut flat out sucked.  However, protraying Chris Vaugh in Walking Tall, he proved to me at least htat he is more than a corny wrestler who is famous because he is toned.  Basically he did a great job in that movie and if he can do it again I think he can nail the role

I don't think he can really be classed as an 'actor'.

If they shoot for a PG-13 rating..this movie has no chance in hell. Ah, what's the difference...Hollywood doesn't know how to make a scary movie anymore anyway.

the rating???   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 11, 2004 11:17 PM

so in order to do a good doom movie what do you guys think the rating on it should be???     personally i think it had better be an "r" rating or higher otherwise it couldn't bring to the movie that the series has.

RE: the rating???   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 15, 2004 7:30 AM

I believe it's very simple, the movie should be shot from the standpoint of an unncensored documentary shot on phobos. The main marine whoever he yes he is must endure in detail brutal attacks where as he must locate medikits and consume berserker kits to survive. The later half of the movie should be shot in a cinematic atmosphere similar to that of a paranoid drugged out soldier fighting to survive predator#1 style, using passion of the the christ makeup artists to pull of the brutality of being attacked and slashed and bitten and burned by DEMONS....but thats just what I think you know.....

Who in the bluest of blue hell is dolph Lungen? Some punk off ur gay porn shows? The Rock is starting to seriously kick ass with his improvements in acting! He was great in Walking Tall and the only thing that will fuck Doom up is if they go for sum shit rating like Pg-13! It has to b serious and seriously scary not sum kids show!

gay porn?   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on October 19, 2004 4:46 AM

I was uncertain that gay porn exsisted.Thanks for clearing that up for me you fudge packer.Dolph Lungen was like a dodgy arnie of the 80"s,and yes his "films" were shit,however what makes you think that a movie based on a game will be any good anyway?Look at the street fighter movie, that was the biggest load of fucking shit that hollywood has ever released!Dont get me wrong Doom is,and wlways be a sweet game.I just dont think a movie will do it credit,Rock or no Rock.

Dolph Lungen kicked ass as the Russian boxer from Rocky IV and he was also good as He-man in Masters of the Universe.

has anyone wondered why almost every movie based off a game has been a flop? Its because everytime some asshole in hollywood tries to "give it his own spin". You don't shoot  the horse you rode in on, and you don't pg a script that demands killing monsters. SOME MOVIES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FOR KIDS, STOP TRYING TO MAKE THEM "SUITABLE" FOR THEM. I don't know about ya'll but as a grown man i pay my money to see ass-kicking not dry, drab "overly stacked special effects" and crapy music in the back ground cause its "hip". Some of the best movies used very little special effects and alot of suspence. a really good director knows how to create a effective marriage of the two. i'm so sick and tired of directors taking the lazy approach and just creating a monster in a comp. i can tell when one is CG and the physically built prop one's have so much more "realism" to them. obviously the comp has been a effective tool, but too many movies use too kuch special effects in cg to compensate for crappy scripts, crappy acting, and crappy directing.
