The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 The first time I heard about it was when Rock was on the Daily Show. Lots of blowing shit up, apparently.......and the BFG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 Non-native director? Check. Little experience as a lead director? Check. A screenwriter with no previous experience on a real movie? Check. A cast filled with nobodies and/or hasbeens? Check!! Rock should brush up on his boot-up-ass skills on his agent. However, Alone in the Dark will probably still be the worst and funniest film of 2005 AitD probably was closer to a Doom movie than the Doom movie will be.

Mik 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 According to the imdb.com boards, the Rock turns bad half way through the movie and opposes the good troops led by Karl Urban (Eomer). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's never played a bad guy in a movie before. Well, only the "Stateoftheart" CGI version from the Mummy Returns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 Rock's not a proven boxoffice draw. Scorpion King went over huge, but The Rundown and Walking Tall didn't do much. So it'll have to look badass on its own, The Rock alone won't make it #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epic Reine 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 The DOOM "storyline" is crap to begin with so I'm certain this movie will do just about as good as House of the Dead and Alone In The Dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 The Rock is a bigger star than anybody in those 2 movies. The movie of DOOM~ will be #1 for 3 weeks straight. I wonder if Teddy Long, Ron Simmons, or Butch Reed have bit parts in the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 Wait wait........Doom has a plot? From what I saw on G4 one time...from Doom 3, the plot is this: Hell is on Mars, Hell is trying to overrun Mars, you have to kill the demons from Hell trying to overrun Mars.

dubq 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 You should. The Rundown and Be Cool are pretty fucking good movies. Edit: I am surprised, however, that they didn't hire idiot Uwe Boll to do this movie.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 More reason NOT to adapt fucking video games into movies... Just about the only crossover successes have been Tron and Mortal Kombat, the former being given a story that fit the game and the later already having a story adapted / ripped off from Enter The Dragon. The rest of the adaptations (Mario, Resident Evil, MK2: Annihilation, Street Fighter, House Of The Dead, Alone In The Dark, etc.) have been the drizzling shits. The sad thing is that Rock has already signed up to do ANOTHER game-to-movie translation, Spy Hunter. At least that one will pretend to have a storyline.

Come on, it's Doom--easily one of the top 5 most influencial games (as far as mainstream attention) of the past 15 years. Sounds more like something up PWSA's alley. At least his movies tend to pull in a respectable profit. Non-gamers likely never heard of the AitD or HotD games, but Doom? Of course they have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mainstreamers have heard of Myst... doesn't mean that a Myst movie will be worth a shit or make any money. Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter both proved that one.
