Doom Movie Scriptwriter Dave Callaham Interviewed

rsmith-mac writes "The HomeLAN Federation has posted an interview with Dave Callaham, the scriptwriter for the forthcoming Doom movie. The interview goes over id's influences on the movie and willingness to change the mythology to work with the movie, along with the earlier reported studio shift, and some very light details relating to the characters in the story. If all goes as planned, the Doom movie will start principal production this month in order to hit the theaters in August of 2005."

  1. Main character = John by arnoroefs2000 · · Score: 4, Informative

    One thing that id did insist upon is that the main character in the movie be named John. When asked, Callaham was unsure if that was a tribute to id's master programmer John Carmack but did admit there is another character named Carmack in the movie.

    Yes, quite the mystery where that came from...

    Actually, that was the forum, the story stuff is here.

  3. Uhm. Aliens Versus Predator was a success! by celerityfm · · Score: 3, Informative

    You will be just as surpised as I when you read this:

    Alien vs Predator Domestic Total as of Oct. 5, 2004: $79,690,462, Worldwide total $101,614,954

    They've already gone into profit territory on this and in fact it's being called a success: The studio also saw success this year with Regency's "Man on Fire" and "Alien vs. Predator."

    So stop all the hate and learn the facts.
