Posted by michael on from the scripted-event dept.

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."

    ID freakin suck as stories.

    Yeah you always need a balance, but you know what? People are still playing text based muds for a reason.
