You could say that, because Bungie IS Microsoft. The fact remains that the Bungie team will oversee the development of the movie. You can bet a lot that they will not let a crap movie go forward because it would destroy the franchise.

Sorry.

The fact remains that the Bungie team will not really have any say the development of the movie, but get a credit due to contractual obligations. You can bet a lot that they will not let a crap movie go forward  unless it will make them a ****load of cash, preferably appealing to the lowest common denominator in the sake of populism above integrity

Better?

How could they screw up something so simple?

UAC works on a teleporter on mars. It opens a gate to hell. Demons come through and people turn into zombies.

Marine shows up, kills stuff for 80 minutes. Goes into hell for the final 10 minutes, closes portal.

The end.

Exactly.

The premise is simple enough, but they could at least have pulled a good action / horror movie out of it.

They just killed any remote chance of me seeing that piece of garbage. How can they screw up such a simple story? Oh wait, it's Hollywood. All they had to do was copy Doom 3 though.

Goddamn, is it just me, or does the Hellknight look like garbage?

[Col. Fishguts]

He looks like a guy in a cheap rubber suit. And looking at the trailer, he moves like one too.

[aldo_14]

He's definately up for a baddy role in the next Godzilla movie, though.

[Fineus]

Depends really, look at how the hellknight in Doom 3 moves. Or the Imp for that matter. Now the Imp in the movie trailer looks like it leaps all over the place in much the same way as the game version does. But the Hellknight generaly stomps around rather slowly and ponderously. It certainly shouldn't flail around like it seems to in the trailer though.

[Primus]

Resident Evil meets Aliens (or vice versa). Anyway, I'll probably like this movie as pure mindless entertainement. For the first time I watch it.

There is a download of the interveiw they had at comic con and they said the monsters are guys in suits. When it hits theaters I'm gonna go see it because I love Doom and have been playing it since the sharware version of the origional came out in 93. Then I'll tell you all if it is worth seeing.

I doubt it will even be worth pirating, let alone paying to see.

[MicroPsycho]

why can they just not copy game's storyline? There's supposed to be one hero, who saves the day and uses uber-badass futuristic weaponry, not a SWAT team weilding G36s.

but I'll prolly see it because I like Doom

[Deepblue]

Hehe, I noticed the G36s too. I saw all of one futuristic gun in the trailer...

[Janos]

there's only one way to enjoy the artistic values of doom and this is it so i dare you! click on people

I don't know if that counts as NWS, are alien guts NWS? My boss applauds me when I draw him some alien guts. Is it? I don't know! At least there's blood and guns and hell in this one.

[Anaz]

That comic has some of the best 1 liners in existance.

[aldo_14]

"Sweet christmas!  Big-mouthed floating thingies!  It's always something!"

[EtherShock]

Ah yes, the Doom comic.

They must've made a bet with someone to see who could write the worst comic. No one could've done such a horrible job unintentionally.

The Rock appears to be carrying a BFG behind him, and I think I saw a plasma rifle as well. I think I'd rather waste my time with Doom 3 that I never finished than pay to see this. Did Carmack have any say during production?

[Tieowbeijas]

Don't think so, since he's a programmer and not a designer or writer.

[aldo_14]

He got to say how much was on his big fat cheque.
