Doom Movie Pushed Back to October

Posted by Zonk on from the wait-for-it dept.

I know you're all waiting with breathless anticipation for the Doom film, but GamesIndustry.biz has word that you'll have to wait until October for the U.S. release. From the article: "The film was formerly expected to appear in late June in North America, but Universal's website confirms a report on horror movie website Bloody-Disgusting.com that it has swapped places with George Romero's next zombie movie, Land of the Dead."

    Maybe this is old news and I lost it in among all the whining about how the movie won't involve a link between Mars and Hell and therefore the plot just won't make any sense, but -- The Rock is going to be the star? That's the first promising-sounding thing about this movie. I can't imagine a better fit.

    Who are these other people going to be, though, monsters? I don't remember any other people in Doom, except for heads on stakes (and John Romero, at the end). Maybe they could get Michael Moore a cameo as a mancubus.

      Well, why can't it have The Rock AND be set where the Doom games were played?

      That's stupid. There's no way you're going to fit all those movie cameras and props into my bedroom.

    Except I'm not going to include any of the bradeys. It will be a sci-fi flick on mars with hell beasts.
