Doom Trailer

Yes it looks horrible and cheesy but c'mon now, it's a freakin DOOM movie!

Doom is set for release on October 21, 2005 and will star Karl Urban and The Rock. Like the game, the movie is set on Mars and pits "space marines" against horrible mutations gone awry. It is rumored to even feature a first person viewpont for a short segment.

Doom is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Cradle 2 the Grave). The film is written by Wesley Strick and Dave Callaham, based on the id Software videogame "Doom 3," and is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Constantine) and John Wells (Far From Heaven, White Oleander, television's The West Wing, ER).

The preview actually doesn't look as bad as it sounds, it has the potential to be as good as the first Resident Evil movie.









I'll be seeing this.

Footage and news from QuakeCon

This footage from QuakeCon includes a preview of the first person view scene from the movie. The posted video is really dark but gives a great impression on how they handled this segment, which is totally badass. It's not a DOOM movie without a fps segmet. The scene is done the best way it could have been, the character appears to pass out, then the camera zooms into his eye and from then on the viewpoint is from his perspective, exactly like the games. Imagine the beginning of Saving Private Ryan, and you get an idea of what they are trying to accomplish.

I tried to get some screencaps but the quality was so poor and too dark for any decent pics, just have a look for yourself.
