There are a number of songs in that trailer, but the most prominent one is "Switchback" by CellDweller.

It CAN be done. The problem is that the view looks stupid in motion and people act so blank and insincere in front of the camera instead of pretending to talk with a person. You know, kind of like in FMV games?

I just saw the new trailer. I was pretty excited about it at first when I saw the teaser trailer.

After this I dunno. Looks kinda lame. I had a bad feeling when I heard there would be a shootout in first person. I just don't think it would ever be a good idea.

I will say that the first person was done much better than I was thinking, but it still looked lame. The only part that looked cool in first person was when they had the chainsaw, and I think it was just because of the pinky demon.

I'll still see it, but I dunno. I think it has a much better chance at sucking now... again.

You could be closer to the truth there than you might think. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif This is from one of the old Dark Horizen scoops that also said the movie took place on a planet called Olduvai instead of Mars though, so hopefully this detail/scene has changed or been cut out of the film as well, leaving just a good ol' normal Pinky Demon.


One character is a technician called "Pinky" who has a cybernetic wheelchair thanks to a bad teleporting accident. Pinky later mutates into something remotely resembling a creature from Doom 3.



Who knows, maybe the wheelchair-like look is just a remnant from earlier script ideas and this whole Pinky technician thing was another thing scrapped along with ideas like the "planet Olduvai". I hope do, anyway. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

References to Hell edited out of Doom movie

No monsters.. a weird scenario

By Wil Harris: Saturday 04 December 2004, 11:39

A REPORT from the set of the Doom movie has unveiled some fantastic re-writes and re-characterisations.

The movie project, based on the ubiquitous video game, is currently being filmed in Prague. Eastern Europe has become a hot-bed of low budget horror movie making in recent years, due to the activities of the SciFi channel, who have their Saturday night monster-flicks filmed there.

The report says that screenwriter, Dave Callaham, was keen to keep the atmosphere of the game intact whilst making some 'necessary' story changes. The changes? Well, Doom won't be set on Mars. The monsters have nothing to do with Hell. Space marines are SWAT teams. The monsters will, apparently, be people mututated by a secret virus.

Gosh, how original. Have they seen Resident Evil?

The report is the latest in a series that don't exactly lend the movie credit. The director recently hired to take over the project, Andrzej Bartkowiak, has such high-quality films as Species and Dante's Peak in his back-catalogue.

The lack of any kind of 'Hell' connection is something of a kicker. Doom 2 was subtitled 'Hell on Earth', and the key plot point of Doom 3 is that the monsters in-game are Hellspawn, hence the multiple pentograms and such vile creations as dead-baby-cherub-wasp combinations. A 'necessary' change, or a neat way to avoid right-wing criticism? We wonder.

The Doom movie is due out some time in 2005.

So here's the statement about hell in the Doom movie.

"The game's admittedly thin plot has since been fleshed out with the addition of more chaaracters, and with a deeper explanation for the sudden appearance of demons on Mars.
The movie provides a wormhole. And hell-spawn. But according to the film's continuity (based loosely on all three games), a gene exists that indicates a person's predisposition toward good or evil. Once infected by whatever is on the other side of that wormhole, humans mutate into demonic representatives of the darkness in their souls."

There, that actualy sounds interesting.

And as far as the movie being rated R, they said there will most likely be an uncut DVD. Because they are going for an R rating, they are removing some bits of gore. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/woot.gif

Bruce Willis

Bruce wanted the role of Sarge, but they turned him downa nd gave it to the Rock?! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif WTF?! IMO that was a terrible descision.

Although he is built, he isn't as big or built as Dwayne Johnson (Rock).

If Bruce jumped at the part (after reading the script) it has to be good.

Name a bad film Bruce did? And the Kid doesn't count, that was pretty good in it's own right.

Accordin to the PCGamer article, the Rock is only going to be a supporting cast member, not the actual star of the movie...which is good to me cause I'd hate it to be a "rock" movie.

[Cerberus_e]

I just read the gamespy article... has it already been confirmed WHY they lied (by revealing wrong facts about the game: earth, no demons, ...)? even gamespy was surprised when they walked on stage, because they saw an UAC logo lifting, right from the game, after thinking it would be a movie on earth without demons involved and being told no to expect much.

[Damien_Azreal]

You can't say that the people making the movie lied. This is the internet, you shouldn't believe everything people post, say or read.

All the stuff posted about it taking place on Earth, with no demons... that was all rumored. It's only been in the last few months that they've started releasing official facts about the movie.

I was just playing Doom 3 last night and noticed something. In Delta Labs 2B, when you come across all the demons in glass chambers.

A monitor starts playing and talking about the teleportation experiments. But it also talks about genomic mapping.
So... it isn't completely made up for the movie, the concept is in the game. Just used in different ways.

yes, and when they are with a whole team, and an imp appears a bit further in the corridor, they should all simultaneously put away their gun, and get their flashlight at the same time, see the imp, then all at the same time put away their flashlight, on the same way, and pull out their gun again

Why is everyone so down on The Rock? He's not a bad actor at all, and judging from the trailers, is a great fit for this role. Don't get me wrong, I really like Bruce Willis, but I usually see him in a more "real world" role (with the exception of "The Fifth Element). Did anyone see "The Rundown"? Not a bad flick at all imho. I personally think Dwane Johnson will do great in this role.

This movie looks horribly lame and typical.

The movie adaptation of the board game "Clue!" is brilliant. If you haven't seen it, you're probably thinking "How the hell did they make a movie about Clue?" Easy. They took the familiar elements of the board game and turned it into a story . The acting/writing/other-film-elements make it a good film.

I think with something like Doom, where the story is somewhat abstract, the film-makers have a lot of room to move around in, and its just goddamn dissapointing they aren't doing that.
I had an idea for how the Doom movie would be years ago. It would follow one character. He would narrate whats happening, and the film would be about isolation and inevitable Death (Doom http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ). But this is Hollywood we're talkin' about, and my idea would make a good 45 minute indie film. In that regard, there may be no hope for video game movies.

And which actor was that? The pro wrestler or the guy from The Bourne Supremacy? I must have seen a different trailer, because the trailer I saw was filled with "Get some!" dialogue and an ultra-cheese first-person bit.

And about not telling a movie's whole story in a traier...they may not tell every nitty gritty bit, but its pretty apparent what happens. Its also apparent that this movie has no depth. I predict a Resident Evil 2 brain-fry of a movie.

RE2 was 2 hours of a model running and shooting, I don't think 5 minutes passed where a machine gun didn't fire. Its mildly entertaining for a while but I personally felt stupid for watching it.

If mindless crap is your cup of tea then i'm sure doom will satisfy you. Just keep in mind this is what is killing Hollywood. Bloated, silly movies.

IMO... these are the types of movies we need more often. Bloated, cheap, popcorn flicks.

Not enough of those today, everything is trying to be to much. Or it's a damn remake.

Don't be ridiculous.


I'm a science fiction fan from way back. I go to Mars, I expect to see it. Watching "Doom" is like visiting Vegas and never leaving your hotel room.



"Doom" is like some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play.



The monsters are still there on Mars. They are big mothers and must have awesome daily caloric requirements. How they survive, how they breathe earth atmosphere in the station and what, as carnivores, they eat and drink -- I think we can all agree these are questions deserving serious scientific study.


Need he say more?

[Phait]

Yes. So he tried to open up the logic of the movie and it's various plot devices. Big deal. There's more to it than that, more to his rating, there has to be. He could've at least summed it up why.

[Damien_Azreal]

Simply, people are being to protective over this IP because it's Doom.

No matter who did the movie, and how it came out it wouldn't be good enough... because of the lagecy that Doom left in the gaming world.

I can't wait to see this, as much as I love the Doom series. I love the fact that it's been taken to another format.
Sure they've changed things. They had to. Doom'3 story is pretty weak... even in Doom 3. For about 90% of the game your just running around shooting demons. The rest of the time your watching cutscenes or walking around.
They would have to change things and expend the story to make it work in a movei setting.

I say that us gamers need to lighten up a bit. Go see it for the fun of it, but not for a serious, compelling story driven thriller.

I see it tommorow.

[Boo Boo Juice]

I just saw the movie at the midnight showing last night. It was fun and was a cool mindless action movie. It wasn't the horror movie they were talking about.

The characters are pretty weak. The development is almost nonexistant. John Grimm (aka Reaper) seems to have a history with Olduvai and Mars with his sister, Sam Grimm. A history they only hint at. They never really explain what happened or show what happened. The rest of the characters you don't care for at all and you can immediately tell they are all going to die. Rock did a great job as Sarge though. It was fun seeing him barking orders at the other soldiers.

The camera work was pretty decent. They did some cool shots making it feel like the monsters were watching the marines. The lighting was poor in trying to make it scary. The first-person view wasn't all that great either. The directing just isn't all that great.

I read a lot of other reviews saying that the movie was really tense and there were a lot of 'jump' moments. Personally, I didn't find the movie scary at all and I didn't see any jump points in the movie. To be honest, I don't think one person on these boards will jump once. The tense moments in the movie are unfortunately ruined by some lame generic rock music. Instead of using amient sounds like in the game to give you a more intense feel, they play some super random lame rock music. That diminishes the tense moments. Even in the first person sequence. The moment is ruined by lighting and music. They could've made a really good horror movie by using more sound effects from the monsters to build up anticipation and that would've made the execution a lot more fun. You're never on the edge of your seat for any of the action scenes. Just go to the movie expecing an action movie, and you'll come out fine. The action is really good, and there is a lot of blood and guts. Thats what doom is though, really.

!!!WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
<font color="#1F1F22">The ending is really lame, but still fun to watch. It isn't doom-like at all. It is a big fist-fight in an arena that feels like it was specifically made for Grimm and Sarge to fight in. It was just not Doom-like at all. It was really out of place.

Another thing I wasn't too fond of was that that the monsters infected others to change them. I had no problem with that. The problem was that they were choosing the victims to infect. That was lame.

The first person sequence, although not tense at all, is still a lot of fun to watch if you are a gamer. There are a few parts where it makes you think, "heh, that's happened to me before". One part that really sticks out is when he turns and shoots a reflection of himself.

The BFG is magnificent! It's really cool to see being used. It is referred to as "Big F***in Gun" by the Rock.

The monsters were quite a bit faster than they should've been.

The Pinky demon was awesome, and is definitely the best part of the first-person sequence. because of the chainsaw.

They do use a lot of the story elements that were in doom3. The research facility was studying ancient artifacts on mars, and discussed the colonization that was there before. Something Doom3 talked quite a bit about.

Some people felt like it was random for Sarge to go crazy. To me it felt more like he was a puppet of the government and UAC. He was just doing what he was told and only cared about getting the job done properly and getting out alive. He didn't really turn into a badguy to me. </font>

[Reaper978]

Can't say I expected much from this movie, and I guess it "delivered" adequately. Ultimately, this is a movie with horrible acting, decent special effects, decent sound effects, god awful soundtrack, and ridiculously expensive sets. I was severely disappointed with the cheap hard rock music; they really should've gotten old Reznor to whip up a few tracks. I did notice the end credits music was a remix of some Nine Inch Nails stuff (I think) but it would have been quite cool to have the entire soundtrack made up of his masterful ambiance.

I was supremely disappointed with their seemingly arbitrary changes to the doom plot. What the heck was the point? Why take out the portal to hell? I'm tired of the same "terrible virus accident" BS. I'm sorry, but it's just not doom if you remove hell. Some footage of the archeological dig (and perhaps a fight or two down there) would have been nice.

[theRobot]

The thing is, my assumption, the whole beginning of the movie was snipped down to gel with all the fans of the game.
The movie as we all know(look at earlier pages in this thread) was supposed to be some other planet(and if I even remember correctly) earth even at one point. When that information hit the fans, they all complained, uproar of disputes about how they were ripping Doom to shreds and wern't respecting the game etc..

So I think what happened, using the 80:20 rule(being to get rid of 80% of filmed footage and keeping that important 20%) they did what they could to get the soldiers indoors and not mention where they were so everyone would assume it was on mars all that while. Roger Ebert even complained of lack of Mars footage, probably because their original idea had no footage of such mars surfaces.

Not the greatest movie I've ever seen, but it was certainly a Doom movie. Better than I expected.

I thought the movie's beggining was way too slow going.

I loved the Game references like "Dr. Carmack" and "Let God sort 'em out." ... I kinda thought naming a character "Duke" was a reference even though the actor didn't resemble him.

What exactly happened to the Grimm parents? Did I miss that somehow? Did they fall to their death - or did something get them... they just kind of left it unknown.

No Demons meant none of the great monsters like Hell Knights and those walking heads etc. - All I got to see were Imps, zombies and pinky demon (along with that Bigger deformity [don't own doom 3 so don't know the name of it])... The lack of an over-abundance of monsters attacking at once was also a huge let down. At the end when they take the Rock, that was it?? Bogus!</td></tr></table>

To be honest I feel like it was really under-developed and untrue to core of Doom - for reasons stated.

A Cacodemon would've kicked ass as well.

I also felt that there weren't enough zombies in the movie. Sure towards the end they were everywhere, but at the start of the film there weren't any at all.

But all together it was a pretty good movie. Basically what I expected. A cheap b-movie action/sci-fo movie. A good summer film.

[Darth Darthy]

I enjoyed it alot. Perhaps that's because my expectations were so low but eitherway - it holds the dubious honour of being the best videogame movie and unlike Resident Evil, capitalised on the strengths of the game. E.g. gory action and lots of it!

One thing I did like was the lack of crap CGI. Too many films use it nowadays and if it's not done right then its pointless. The prosethitc monsters worked much better.

As for taking the Rock seriously..... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif I don't watch WWE so watching his movies isn't an issue. Have you guys seen Walking Tall or the Rundown? Do it.....you'll forget you are even watching The Rock.

"The Rock" is a decent actor. He makes the crappy material he gets better (but I still hate WWE.)

As for the movie, it had a lot more gore and f-bombs than I expected. It was definetly worth the matinee price I paid to see it (albeit wasn't that great of a movie) and my friends got a good kick out of the adaptation as well.

I reluctantly reccomend it.

The FPS sequence was nice, and pretty well done.


That was my biggest let down of the movie. The concept sounded so cool, but by the end of the sequence I was totally tired of it. It was way too drawn out, and the entire time it really seemed to have no point (except for bragging rights, I suppose).


Roger Ebert likened it to watching somebody else play a video game in that you don't really feel like you're getting the whole experience.

I saw the TV version of his review yesterday.

He and Roeper were saying it's like watching someone else play a videogame. You want to play, and you can't.

It was pretty funny listeni
