Doom Movie Update

WeAz writes "Dark Horizons has an update on the currently filming Doom Movie. The article sums up the history of the production thus far and also includes a cool tidbit that reveals 'a large number of sequences will be shot purely in "first-person" perspective of the leading character (Karl Urban).' Unfortunately, the article also reports that '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.' Sounds like a version of 28 Days Later based on Mars to me."

Good news, or bad news first?

The first person view sounds cool, could inspire a new film technique (much like the Matrix's bullet time), but the old fashoned film technique of messing with a well-loved plot seems to be going strong.

I don't think its political at all. I think its just a cheap production. Look, now they say: well, they are not from hell but mutated by a virus. Before release it'll be: 'look, did we say monsters? We meant zombies that look like normal people with an attitute'. The Inq has an article about it, they say the movie isn't gonna take place on mars and the space marines will be swat guys. So, essentially it's going to be 'Resident evil vs. SWAT' - the Movie and cost 5 bucks for the 8mm film because the props are all donated.
