DOOM Movie Interview
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 23, 2005 5:49am PDTOver at Ain't It Cool News you can find an interview with Karl Urban, who plays the role of John Grimm in the upcoming DOOM movie. Topics include the Mars setting, Hell, favorite creatures to shoot and the first person sequence.
QUINT: If you had to focus on one thing that you do in the movie that'll appeal to the gamers the most, what would it be? KARL URBAN: Definitely First-Person-Shooter. But if I was to expand on that, I think that the fans are going to be relieved to see that aesthetically the look and feel of the film is an honorable one, true to the original material and the film is just dark! I've never seen a film quite like it. I've never seen a film quite like it. It's actually really fucking dark. And it's tense. It's just a trip. It's a ride.

KARL URBAN: Um...
QUINT: Because on the panel it seemed like they were hinting at the creatures having a more biological origin than spilling out of a portal from hell...
KARL URBAN: Yeah... I think that's probably more the case. Hell is there in a multitude of forms. Maybe not as literal as some people would like, but is basically represented in a kind of multi-faceted way. There's references to where these creatures come from... I mean, my character makes a reference in the film about the origin of the creatures. You know, it's really up to... well, it's down to your personal belief system and what you believe hell is. There are so many different interpretations of that concept.
I think I can safely say that I believe we are faithful to a multitude of concepts of Hell.
Thats a long winded, bullshit way of saying "no, the baddies arn't from hell."

looks like the producers switched it over to Mars very late in production, probably due to the fans negative reaction and now they are trying to cover it up saying it was "misinformation"
