Masters of Doom Movie In The Works

Posted by Zonk on from the not-directed-by-a-game-hater dept.

John Callaham writes "The film industry trade publication Variety announced today that Showtime plans to make a bio-pic movie based on Masters of Doom, the 2003 released non-fiction book on the formation of Doom developer id Software." More coverage available on Gamasutra. Now there is a Doom movie that I'd like to watch.

    They always do...

    "However, the movie has angered some online fans for appearing to contradict the basic tenets of the Doom storyline, with the action apparently not being set on Mars and the demons from hell of the games being replaced with humans sporting a mutagenic virus"

    Fucking bastards....

    The ONE MOVIE I WANT TO SEE ADAPTED, and they pull a lame-ass "Omega Man" on us. As George Carlin says, Fuck The Fucking Fuckers. I want Mars, and I want my Demons from Hell in the movie. I want Hell Knights and Arch Viles, Blob's and Spider Masterminds. I WANT A CYBERDEMON...Or it's not Doom.

    Burn in Hell, Hollywood.
