DOOM Movie Panel Report

53

GameCloud has a report on the DOOM movie panel, which concluded at the San Diego Comic-Con earlier today. Attendees were treated to a 90 second teaser trailer, which revealed that the movie DOES take place on Mars. It also showed various monsters and cast members. Another clip showed a first person viewpoint during one scene, with weapon reloading and everything.

Both The Rock and Karl Urban were fans of the original Doom game before signing on to play the roles of space marines Sarge and John, respectively. The Rock said he got to use the classic weapons like the BFG in the movie and he, Urban and the other members of the space marine cast got real military training from a former SAS member to make sure that they worked together like a real special forces team would. All of the panel members mentions that they were displeased that other movie adaptations of games stayed so far from the original material and while the Doom movie does had plot and character elements that the game does not have it still will be very close to how the game looks and plays. The Rock said that he saw a version of the movie a few days ago and in his words "It really kicks ass".
DOOM The Movie is currently scheduled for an October 21st release.

    I have no hope that this movie will be anything better than Mortal Kombat: Anihillation or Street Fighter. :(

    Seems way too rushed.
