We could well be eating our printed out concerns over the Doom movie, as the filming has now ended and some positive words are beginning to come out. From Dark Horizons through Film Rot:
There’s nothing soft or watered-down about “Doom.” In their own words, the makers of the film are going for a “Hard R.” Excellent news for Doomers…
…Every set, every corridor, every weapon looks faithful to the game. The set is a maze of dark corridors, steel-dungeony-looking hallways that should be scary as hell. The arsenal of weapons includes several nods to the game, including, of course, the BFG…
…Bartkowiak is using real models when possible, minimizing the employment of green screens…The “Baron,” in particular, looks like an “Aliens”-worthy creature. Much more on him later…
..The script is loosely based on the “Doom 3” videogame…The setup might differ slightly from the game, but it’s the same meat and potatoes.
Actually sounds a lot better than the stories we’ve heard before, but how much of that has been carefully fed to the press to try and cover the trauma that’s come before? Perhaps not that much I think, it does sounds pretty solid and cool to me. What do you Doom fans think now?
