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."

    You mean Big Fucking/Frigging Gun?

    Anyhow, I don't see why they're calling this film "Doom" anymore. It has nothing to do with the original concept whatsoever. In fact, other existing movies are probably closer to Doom than this movie is now.

    Considering how Id software kept turning down studios because they wanted to change it so much, I'm surprised they've let it get this far out of hand.
