The Latest from the "Doom" Set Posted: Friday December 3rd, 2004 3:59pm Source: Novinky.Cz Author: Garth Franklin A correspondent of Novinky.Cz recently attended the Prague set of "Doom" and reported back a well spring of information in regards to the video game adaptation.
Originally, the $70 million film was supposed to be helmed by Enda McCallion. Later, he was replaced by Andrzej Bartkowiak. Screenwriter Dave Callahan claims "everyone was keen to keep the game's atmosphere", though there are some "minor" changes done to the film's concept: The monsters have nothing to do with hell, the plot is not taking place on Mars and "space marines" are not well "space marines" as their outfits are more like SWAT team members.
The story follows eight marines, teleported into a command centre of a secret base on a remote planet. There, they learn that something strange is happening and soon monsters start to appear. The monsters aren't from hell, but rather people mutated by some nasty super-virus although the monsters look very similar to those in the game.
One character is a technician called "Pinky" who has a cybernetic wheelchair thanks to a bad teleporting accident. Pinky later mutates into something remotely resembling a creature from Doom 3. Producers claim that the film will be more of a horror than an action shooter.
There will be loads of shooting though, especially in the end where a large number of sequences will be shot purely in "first-person" perspective of the leading character (Karl Urban). The chainsaw and Bio Force Gun do appear in the film.

If they make those changes then what is the point of making the movie? If they make those changes then it isn't "Doom" anymore, It becomes "Something that Isn't Doom". I mean Creatures from Hell invading Mars is what makes it "Doom". It is what makes it so special.

^I agree. You can't change something, that much. It makes it feel like a different movie.

Um...What is then the point of making a "Doom" Movie if it isn't going to be based on any of the "Doom" Games? I mean if that is the case why call it "Doom"? Why not rename it one the same time. The guys making this movie are making no sence what so ever.

Money is one word. "To Earn Money" on the other hand is three words.
