Funny that there will be 2 characters in the movie called Dr. Carmack and the Dr. Willits

Is that the Rock in the center?
Um.. there is grass on Mars?
Plot Outline: 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...
No Marines. No Mars. No Demons. No Hell.

Is't that the plot of Aliens?
Why do they even bother. Will tacking on the Doom name make this any better?
"it's game over man."
It does look like a Cheezy movie from that pic. I think they'll Wow the audience with high budget CGI.
Wait, what? MOTHERFUCKERS!
No hell, no demons - it just won't be DOOM. Sounds more like Resident Evil than anything else now. I hope they at least keep their plans on filming a lot of it in first-person.
Its also rated R which doesn't mean a great deal, but at least they won't have mangled it into some hideous Spawn: the Movie style mess <shudder>.
I also heard today (though its not confirmed by IMDB) that Stan Winston (he of Terminator and the Thing fame) will be doing the creatures, and doing them with a minimal amount of CGi. Given some of the awesome stuff this guy has done in the past, he might be able to raise this film to the level of bad cult film.
The odds are against it, but you never know...
Is there a single member of this board who, presented with that synopsis before filming started, wouldn't have shuddered in disgust?
And seriously, The Rock...?

the stan winston guys are handling it, they've got doug jones, the guy who was in the abe suit in hellboy, playing the imps and carmack

Ya the more I hear about Winston from Movie contacts. The more of a fake he really is. Its his crew that does it all. He just takes the credit. He used to be even worse.

The wrestler-turned-actor told us that it wasn't going to be like every other action movie coming out these days, "What's great is that the monsters in Doom are not CGI monsters," he said, "they're made by Stan Winston studios so these monsters have weight and they're huge and incredible and I'm excited about it."

Wow their buget is so small they can't afford CGI. Here come the film students wearing garbage bags, making imp noises... But serriously I am tossed up, on one hand I want to see a movie based on Doom, but then I am reminded of Wing Commander, Mortal Combat, Street Fighter. I hope it doesn't suck but the magic 8 ball on my desk pointed to "yes" when I asked it...

No fucking way.
(only you WW2 nuts will know what im yapping about

360 degree situational awareness, people! that and watch your arcs...

Sure, they are going to have to change things to the story, thats acceptable. They might have to add new characters, thats acceptable.
But honestly, why the hell are they even bothering if it isn't set on MARS, it isn't supernatural, it has nothing to do with HELL.
Wow, people have been mutated into monsters through experiments.... how original! And how hard would it have been to keep the original teleportation experiments instead?
The only reason they have changed it is so that they don't have to find a location to film as mars, and do neato effects for hell. With the new story they can film it all in some guys backyard.
And I thought Carmack and Co had special terms that would allow them to let this film go ahead... what were they thinking?
At least we know the script writer is still a genius. Lets make a scientist called Dr Pinky, then mutate him into a demon, and call him Pinky Demon! Hopefully we will see other scientists such as Dr Imp, Dr Caco, Dr Mancubus and Dr Cyber.
I want to meet this Dr. Imp!
also good made traditional monster effects still outdo most cgi monster effects, the hounds in hellboy were really nice examples, everytime they used a cgi one in the shot it looked off.
i predict this movie will suck, but i will lay the blame on the writing and directing more than anything else,
oh cloud and mop.. look AT IMDB.. doug jones is playing "Dr. Carmack Imp" thats the name.. Dr. Imp. if he was playing Dr. Carmack and the imp they would have broken the names up like Dr Carmack/Imp like they do other dual roles
also this could be interperted difrnelty since they have another carmack listed, doug jones may just be playing the Imp that dr carmack mutates into
I just checked IMDB, I cannot believe they have a Dr Imp! As it is looks like there is a Dr Carmack, then a Dr Carmack Imp.
There is also someone who is called Curtis Stahle/The Baron. Who conveniently gets turned into a Baron of Hell lookalike maybe?? Oh man, this is sounding so lame.
And the rock is playing Sarge, the main character is played by Karl Urban from LOTR.
Also another character is named Goat. I want to see a Goat Demon!
it's another movie down the grinder, and sadly it cannot be done how it should've been done, as a movie true to doom.
In all the years it took them to go into space they forgot to come up with some new weapon designs too it seems.
Event horizon pulled off the hell in space stuff, so it's sure not a moral issue. Lame.

funny i missed this one !

From Doug Jones' blog he says he is playing various imps done up in glorious Stan Winston creature fx. Doug played Abe Sapien in Hellboy so at least we can look forward to some good non cg monsters in this movie.
I'm not arguing that this movie won't suck, it will probably suck major balls.
