I'll definitely watch this movie if they've secretly cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Doom Marine, but instead of being predictably silent, the script integrates as many Schwarzenegger one-liners into the movie as possible. Also, Schwarzenegger isn't on set for a single minute of filming--everything is worked in from archive footage of previous films and CGI. Basically Schwarzenegger can be dead and still do the part.

Borgnine, while a great actor, is always funny. Angel: [supportively] I hear Borgnine is a very skilled lover. His legacy being reduced to a joke about his sexual prowess in a Joss Whedon show, it might not be much, but it stuck with me. Oh yeah, low budget Doom movie, I'm in. I can only hope they don't burn me Archvile style. I would love it if Arnold's likeness was used in the film. Doomguy is a commando, a predator, a running man, you name it.

SCENE: A factory of some sort. There are pipes running in all directions. Steam. The distant clang of heavy machinery. A sign flickers: "UAC WELCOMES YOU TO DEIMOS". Space Marine (Girl): "Let's get this over with. I've got five days and a wake-up before retirement." Space Marine (Boy): "I hear ya." SUDDENLY, a GRAY ZOMBIE leaps out from behind a pipe and grabs at one of the SPACE MARINES. Space Marine (Boy): "Holy poo poo, a hellbeast!" The two SPACE MARINES struggle with the GRAY ZOMBIE for several desperate moments. Right when the GRAY ZOMBIE is about to sink its teeth into one of the SPACE MARINES and possibly infect them with HELL BACTERIA, an enormous Bowie knife shoots out from behind some pipes. The Bowie knife catches the GRAY ZOMBIE in its eye and launches it across the room, IMPALING it on the distant wall where its feet dangle off the ground. The camera zooms in on the hilt of the knife--a carved ivory skull imbued with a STRANGE, DEMONIC SYMBOL. From out of the darkness comes a confident cry: Mysterious Doom Marine: "STEEK ARHOUND."

Then we play 6 or 7 uninterrupted minutes of Schwarzenegger stalking through the jungles of Predator's South America. We'll explain the jungle as a secret research facility built underneath the surface of Deimos to test UAC terraforming strategies.

Cream-of-Plenty posted:drat, so far this has all the makings of being a shittier "Ghost of Mars", sans John Carpenter. I'm not familiar with anybody they've cast so far, but almost all of them look like bright-eyed babies. I think that Ghosts of Mars was a better Doom movie than the original real Doom movie so I guess this isn't going to top it

I'm not really interested in seeing another Doom movie. I don't think most gameplay-driven franchises would translate that well to movies. At least they're calling them actual demons this time though, which is a point in the movie's favor.

A Doom movie could probably work if they treated it like John Wick with demons. There's no way an interesting plot comes out of it beyond "angriest man in the universe smashes hellspawn with his fists"

A Doom movie should be just an old school slasher movie, but Doomguy is the slasher. Imps are the horny teens. A Doom movie should be First Blood but the cops are demons. It should end with Doomguy cradling Daisy on Earth and screaming "NOTHING IS OVER!"

We already have a perfectly serviceable action movie plot for doom - first act shows our hero serving in the military, beating up his commanding officer to protect the civilians, and then getting sent off to the Mars outpost. All stuff from the original game's intro documents, maybe grab some doom Bible stuff to flesh it out. Then the rest of the movie is the actual game events with the overall plot thrust being the realization that this ain't just teleporter madness, this be demons! Then after blowing up the bosses and gating back to earth, you can do the bunny ending straight up.

Nah, they shouldn't have the Doomguy be the protagonist. The movie should be about a team finding and releasing the doomguy from his sarcophagus after Hell Breaks Loose The movie should basically be exactly like Aliens 2. A group of badasses walking around super creepy environments fighting hordes of super creepy monsters

Its fun and made from a failed script for a Tron 2 movie so its similar but distinct from Tron: Legacy If you like FPS games and dont mind something thats behind the times in some QoL areas and old, fire er up because the game aint bad.

Like I get that Doom is an absolute masterpiece, but not all masterpieces in other media become films There's a breed of medium budget movies where they tie in to any brand possible because it will give a large amount of free marketing. My guess is that when they can't make a sequel/prequel it's a much safer option than trying to create a new IP.

It's a pretty solid FPS with light RPG elements and fantastic aesthetics, even if it has a couple of annoying levels (the PDA one springs to mind). It's also a much better Tron sequel than Legacy.  Make sure to fanpatch it, this page has links to the unofficial patch and Killer App fanpatch.

Maybe, but another explanation is just that the formats aren't really that compatible. Games which are all about the action and don't have much story are fun for the gameplay; movies have to have some significant story elements (even if the story is bad). Games which have depth to their stories tend to have too much story - they need to sustain the game's plot over at least 8 hours, which is too long to fit comfortably into a movie's 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
