I wish you were right, but that is an old story.  The movie is now finished 
and is pure garbage. It has nothing to do with the game anymore, they 
rewrote it entirely.  It is not on mars.  The monsters are caused by a 
virus, hell plays no part in the movie. and the Space Marines are a no show, 
it is  S.W.A.T. that saves the day.  It sounds like another battlefield 
earth to me, crap.  Here is a fresher link.

According to
http://imdb.com/title/tt0419706/  (I tend to trust IMdb way more than 
any other sites)


It's actually:

"When a Special Ops squadron answers a distress call from a science lab 
on the planet Olduvai, their investigation reveals that a series of 
mutant beings are systematically killing off the population there... "

Still sounds like garbage to me, but whatever.

Seriously, it's a movie based off of a game!

It can't be exactly like the game without pissing off movie people.

It can't be too far from the game without pissing off gaming people.

Gawd I'm sick of this movie news.  Just let this crap come out so we can 
move on.  Maybe RoE will let things cool down a bit (which is probably 
going to be more of a DooM movie than the actual movie)

So....if the movie followed the games exactly, it'd be a great movie? 
There is just NO WAY to make this movie anything other than total garbage.

Sad.
Why cant hollywood make good movies anymore?
Why cant they take risks and let a Doom movie be Doom?!
Why cant they get good writers and directors to make a good movie?!
Well I might as well be asking why is the sky blue?
Or why is there gravity.
It just is.
Hollywood sux!
