"The San Diego Comic-Con Doom movie panel is over and, thankfully, it was a worthwhile one. Dumb questions from the audience were down to a minimal (with one exception of a guy who was babbling so badly on the microphone that The Rock said to him "There must be good weed in San Diego") and we got two clips from the movie itself; the first is the upcoming 90 second teaser trailer that officially reveals that the movie version of id Software’s first person shooter will take place ON MARS rather than an unnamed planet as had been talked about in the past. The teaser trailer had a lot of quick cuts of The Rock; Karl Urban and the rest of the cast along with brief looks at the monsters, the environment (and they look right out of Doom 3, by the way; right down to the computer screens on the base) and battles with the monsters. The second clip is the one that got the most reaction; part of the first person shooter sequence featuring Urban’s character. Yes, the movie will at one point have a viewpoint just like the game, right down to the weapons loading animation. The sequence was, by the producer’s own admission, still incomplete in terms of visual effects and other elements but watching the clip feels like you are watching the game in action, from surprise monster appearance in corridors to shooting parts of the environment to fry the creatures."
"Holleshead mentioned that id Software art director Kenneth Scott is very particular and wants things in the game to look just right and Scott said that the monsters in the movie are “awesome” according to Hollenshead. He also said he trusted the producers to make the movie and while they helped out with things like the script and the visual look of the film, id Software are not filmmakers. “John Carmack is the best game programmer in the world, but I would not want him directing my movie because that’s just not his skillset,” he joked."
hmmm...sounds very nice i must say.
