The on again, off again DOOM movie may finally be on again. Despite several failed attempts over the past few years, it seems Warner Bros. Pictures is in final negotiations to bring the video game to the big screen. Once a deal is in place, a writer will pen the screenplay and production on the film would begin shortly after the script is finished and approved.

According to published reports, the film's story will likely resemble DOOM III's storyline, which is set on a futuristic military base on Mars. When a scientific experiment goes awry and accidently opens a portal to hell, the hero must battle demonic forces.

Warner Bros. is targeting a PG-13 rating for the movie.


this fake or not?

It's going to be cheesy and corny, but it will be fun if you let it...it stars "The Rock", for whatever that says...

I love the rock. really. I dont think he is the problem with this film.

Are you telling me that if they put the rock in an exact replica of the doom 3 armor and suit, i na darkhallway with an exact replica of the machine gun, that you would say "Fuck, the rock? bah"?

The problem is that its not doom the movie, its "generic boring 12 rated shit pile thats aimed at a mass auidence"

God bless the film guys.

Thats because he does scream "cheap!" when you put him in a movie. Watch him in welcome to the jungle, or Be Cool, the guys not that bad really.

The Scorpion King fucking owned. The Rock should make "Conan 3".

I own both Pitch Black, and Scorpion King. theyre both good movies. If anyone cant just let themselves enjoy movies for what they are, why even bother seeing movies in the first place?

reefsurfer's got it right.
If you see through the cheap aliens, you'll discover that the movie is really about the Nietzschean hero and the challenges to that philosophy.

Edit:
/I'll admit the Scorpion King probably doesn't have any deeper philosophical dilemmas. It was still fun to watch though.
