A reboot of Doom, the 2005 stinker starring The Rock, which was based on the video game of the same name is planned. What they hope to achieve with another movie is beyond me, but Universal are moving forward with the project according to What's Playing..



Uni is said to be script scouting for a Doom movie that’ll make full advantage of contemporary cinema’s richest weapon - er, 3D.


I can't blame What's Playing for being cynical. These films are just being packaged and shat out like 3D donuts. I just can't see the point. I know the first film took some liberties with the game's premise and mythology but was it really THAT different? Guns and gore is kinda the order of the day is it not? I guess I'm just not a fan of video game adaptations in general. Obviously something like Uncharted does have a lot of potential but not more of this. Hey, maybe I'm way off and they will hire a competent director and get something approaching a decent script together for it and it will be great fun at the very least. But who wants to take that bet?

Anyway, never fret over Universal's canning of Gullermo Del Toro's At The Mountains Of Madness, THAT would have had a R rating don't you know? No money in it when you can't bring along the kiddies! But to make amends we are getting the big, fun, loud, and almost certainly completely neutered PG13 version of Doom! Happy days.

I hate when homo's declare their stupidity by claiming to be first.

First what?

First to prove what a loser you are.
First to prove that you have no life.
First to be gang raped by a horde of rhino's.

Enough with the "first" declarations. It was annoying on other sites and really hurts this site.

yet another pointless reboot & pointless movie in general, hollywood is truly dead

@KingKazma
I share your feelings

@deanwilkins
couldnt agree with you more, although both Bat & Digitaria are probably both 12 year olds with no maturity so you can sorta understand why they cant say anything but first, no offence guys lol

I loved the first movie of Doom. And I HATE 3D, so why the f*ck are these guys continuing to shit out 3D like it's gold nuggets??? That won't generate credibility. They should just make it a sequel to the first, 'cuz the first movie was mad tight. MAAAAD tight. Ugh, yawn. Tch, hollywood..

They need to quit trying to make Doom and just make a Duke Nukem movie. At least that game had a main character, not just a bouncing gun.

The original Doom video game was atmospherically awesome. If they could capture the eeriness of that and make it 3D, I reckon they'd be on to something here. Remember how brilliant playing this game was when it came out? Capture the vibe. CAPTURE IT!!

@megabatfan word.(also there jelouse) on another note the first doom was pure crap this one will be crap that flies at you in glorious 3D

I always thought Half Life would make a good movie.

I hope they follow the story of Doom3, that game was fantastic, totally deserving of a better film than that crap fest of '05.

the doom movie was great! They gave the movie a great story. As opposed to most zombie style movies where these crazy zombies just show up with no explanation, doom had a story and plot! Karl Urban kicked ass in that movie!

The first doom movie wasn't really even a doom movie at all. If they stick with the source material (zombies really?) it could be good. Demons and the like need to start spawning in for me to get excited.

@ Sweep -

Half-Life would be an incredible movie, especially if it was done in full 1st person, that'd be sick. G-Man would be one creepy ass guy to see on the big screen.

DUDE! I am with you, a full motion picture of Half Life and some how a sequel with one of the best games ever in Half Life 2 with a very creative director and a up and coming star would be instant hit movie. Half Life and Halo, why these two have not made it to the big screen puzzle me. I remember a rumor of Peter Jackson wanting millions from Microsoft to do the Halo movie but they gave him the finger. I wonder what ever happened to that?

Damn this site is getting rolled with trolls alot lately. All you faggots that dont like what you see or read then excersise your [frick]ing right to NOT read or see things you dont like.

OH and TWENTY SEVENTH! [frick] YOU TROLLS!

There's a good movie in the source material. The previous Doom flick sucked partially because of how much they parted from it. Stick with the original concept and treat it with some respect, and the movie won't suck. Hopefully.

TWENTY9th!!!111111!!!!!

I see no issue with trolls they are funny more times than not, and if your on the internet and taking things seriously then you prolly own a Apple product.

oh, and, @deanwilkins keep your thoughts about what you would like done to yourself to yourself

I'm happy with this, I hope we can to actually see demons and shit coming through a portal/teleport like the games.

The only thing that was good about the first film was The Rock and Karl Urban, and unfortunately, even those two awesome guys couldn't save the movie lol.

Video games have become so immersive with solid stories and incredible graphics, there's no need to do movies of them. Doom, Halo, Gears of War, Half Life, how are these properties going to benefit from a live action movie when you already get to LIVE them as a videogame? Why would I want to go see a Dead Space movie when the experience of actually playing the game is 100x that of watching a 2 hour poorly acted and poorly adapted Hollywood turd?

They ought to do the movie just like the original video game. It should be an arm holding a gun in the center bottom of the screen the whole movie. Just run around a killing things.

I'll flip my s**t if they ever make a Half-Life or Unreal movie.

These 3 films would be great- Gears of War, Bioshock, and Mass Effect. Halo is obsolete, buried under all the mature, adult oriented sci fi games like Gears, Mass Effect, and Crysis.

first Doom was really "Meh"...hav no interest in a reboot. will probly catch it on dvd wen it comes out

Quake was such a better game...Unreal could translate into a good movie.

If they would take everything they did in the last Doom movie.......and NOT do any of it, it may be alright. The game was good and had a somewhat original story. So if they go with the original story and a hard R rating, im in. Statham for Doom marine hero?
