Doom movie trailer

http://media.filmforce.ign.com/media/490/490104/vids_1.html

Yea, we had a discussion about it before. They replaced hell with a virus and marines with some stupid thing, dont ask me.

/edit: At least they have now decided that it would take place on Mars.

Click on story and there's the plot for the movie. Its not too distant from the game.

The movie is doomed to fail if it's based on such a garbage game.

A half-life movie, now THAT would be cool.

Special effects/sounds = good, acting = funny.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

The whole Gordon not talking part wouldn't play out too good though.

The site is fake- why would they link to IGN?! I mean IGN!?! Who in the real world out of PC's knows what IGN is anyway! And the site is so amateurish- either this film is really low budget, or its a fake website.

I don't understand the controversy with the whole hell thing- Event Horizon was about hell taking over a spaceship, and thats recognised as an amazing horror film. I hate the way film people turn these films to whatever they want- despite what its made for. Doom film should be a horror film, not an action film!

Anyone else think that the scream at the end of the trailer sounds EXACTLY like a marine from Starcraft?

Edit: It's the Yeaarrh! sound i'm talking about... either of a marine stimming or a dying... i can't recall.

IGN has other divisions in addition to just games.

But the website is so poorly made! Everything is shoddy quality graphics as if made from crappy screens of the video. I don't care anyway- if the movie is as crap as the trailer, I'm not going to watch it!

It's... identical to any other IGN video page... Load up some game on any of the sub-sites (PC, Xbox, PS2, GC, etc.) and you'll see the same thing...

Seriously, whos brilliant idea was it to turn the horror game Doom into a action movie? f**king twats, can you believe it?

Missed that that link got posted...

Also, @ azelito: Even D3 was at its core an action game. And prior Dooms were nothing but straight-up action. Makes sense to me. shrug

I figure anything that is made to scare can be called horror.

Theyre most likely making the movie less scary so that it wont pass the 18+ rating.

It's the sound of the Terran "Academy"

Look at the comming soon section.

Oh right on! Good eye/ear/whatever.

I think it's dominantly a nasal thing.

I thought all of the press releases were:
"DOOM, NOT ON MARS AND NO HELL!"

Didn't they just show mars and say "Mars" in the trailer? Did an outcry make them just like redub every scene when they say "billtonia" and have the FX guys retexture all of the planet models? I'm really confused....

and this has to be the first trailer I've ever seen with NO MUSIC. It's just weird, I'm expecting some annoying rock song to start at any second, and it's painfully lacking.

Do you think that, these days, they could get away with a film set in hell that's based off a violent computer game, given that both of these concepts aren't faring too well with US politicians and the like? I'm sure there's been a lot of pressure on the film makers and id to change the premise to an evil virus (at the end of the day, it really does make more sense than lost souls entering people's bodies...)

What do you guys think of the BloodRayne movie? I think they already
abated themselves from the BloodRayne theme enough to be sure that the
movie will be a failure.

1) Where are the nazis? Oh, yeah; They weren't even invented yet (f**k).

2) Beliar IS NOT A VAMPIRE, but the original devil banished by mephisto.

3) Beliar's parts are not TALISMANS (such a sissy word) but RELICS.

4) Rayne's hair is blood-red.

Thus, the only things that the movie and the game have in common are the title and Rayne.

whoa, Halo movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464037/

the doom movie justs looks like another fun, video game cliche, supposed to be scary, action flick. ill watch it!

Half life 1 the movie:
"GORDON FREEMAN GET OUT OF THERE OH NOESSSS!!!!"
Boom
"Gordon, get to the other side of campus... there is no time constraint, since technically there is no deadline."
Gordon: HOly s**t that is one big ugly floating Baby!

Roll Credits

Half Life 2 the movie:
"Oh thank god Gordon you're alive, now you can go do... something we're not sure what yet... but at some point, we're sure your mere presence will destroy the combine."
"Oh s**ts hotsie was captured better go get her out of the big black tower!"
"Oh NOES!!! Everything blew up in the rescue attempt."
Audience: WTF is that guy in a suit talking about?

Roll Credits

Yeah I see a saturday morning cartoon and everything, that is real oscar worthy material right there. Everyone is aware the plot for Half-life 1 was: "Go to that other building please". and the Second's was "Please kill the nasty combines'es:"

I could see it being sort of like Run Lola Run. That movie was awesome and yet there was barely any dialogue and most of the movie consisted of watching someone run around some streets frantically. Instead of showing "alternate timelines" like in Lola, they could show the incident from the different perspectives like in the expansion packs (gordon freeman, adrian shephard, barney). It could be really good.

This Movie sorta looks like a cross between, Resident Evil films, and the second Alien movie ( Aliens ).

It maybe ok.. I dont think it will be overly scary.. but it will have its parts that are designed to make you jump. More of a Suspense Thriller, with gore.

It maybe ok.. I can say its a video rental for me.. I dont see movies in house anymore.. too damn expensive.. besides with a 65 inch HDTV.. I dont really need the theater.

Yes I do. The Christian movment is stalling out and dieing off. Thank God.. Damn evil Christians.

And its not and evil virus, as its genedic tampering.

The monsters look plastic.

-[Better to be Honest than Kind]-

To be honest, if they made a half-life movie I'd really hope that they'd skim over the entire first game's story in under 20 minutes. Or hint at it and focus on a mixture of both the games (and whatever else comes out). There's more then enough material to create a film ... even if it isn't what most gamers would want to see (since, you know, sorry to say it, but movies need dialog and plot)

However, it'd probably be a good idea to just write something with the intent on it being an HL movie and end up calling it something else with different character names.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I beg to differ. Consider:
Metropolis
Run Lola Run
Fantasia
Black Hawk Down
Alien
...

If theres going to be a HL movie, it will come out after HL3. Theres so much we dont know yet... and so much hidden stuff in both games I'm sure that will be revealed in 3.

From the standpoint of a solid movie and not any kind of noir or specific style, yes, it needs those elements.

The other thing you'll notice is that most of those movies are a one time deal. Especially Alien.

If you want to argue that a movie is not strongest with a solid plot then you'll get grounded into dust. It can be done without one, but only by talented people, in the realm of selling movie rights off of hot topic media: It will need all the help it can get.

But don't think I'm not a fan of film noir or rather obscure films. I love them when they're done well (which sometimes is not the case). Also, you forgot 2001. There's little dialog, it's basically a music montage. The characters emotions are shown through sound as opposed to dialog. Which, personally, I think should be done more often, but not to the same degree, of course.

Wilson, that's what I was talking about, actually. But, from a viewer standpoint the entire background story of HL2 is far better the delve into in a film format then the presented scenario for HL1. It'd be far better to discuss it and let the audiences mind run wild. (Remember in the original Star Wars when they mentioned the Clone Wars, and you were all, "?". Then when the actual clone wars was shown you were rather disappointed?) HL1 is set up like that. Disappointing in regards to plot. Granted, it'd be great as Die Hard 7 or whatever, it wouldn't work well with the same type of feel they went with in HL2. And I think, that feel and overall ambiance should be adopted as being "Half-Life".

Not that anyone will agree with me, I'm sure.

HL1 would be a much harder movie to make then HL2. in HL2 there were so many viewpoints and so many possibilities for sub-plots. HL1 is just fight aliens, government conspiracy, save the world which is a great plot for a game but wouldnt work well in a movie.

if a HL movie came out i dont think it should be centred around Freeman. maybe around Alyx, or Barney or a whole new character even where they spoke of a mysterious man called 'Gordon Freeman' and you merely glimpse him in the movie. so basically a movie set in the HL universe, not centred around gordon, a plot that sets along side the HL2 one.
it shouldnt be like the normail game-to-movie cliche flicks but more serious, or dark, or whatever not just something people will say 'Hey! That was a fun flick!'

I liked Black Hawk Down. I watched the movie right after a
documentary on what really happened. They were almost identical,
which made me like the movie even more. Plus, Orlando Bloom
almost dies, always a bonus :smile:

Orlando Bloom was in that movie? i never recognised him.

it was one of the best war movies i have seen though. ridley scott is a great director i love all of his movies.

Yeah, Orlando is the guy who falls out of the helicopter right near the
beginning. That really happened, and the guy who fell survived.

Metropolis had dialogue in the form of subtitles, and due to loss of footage, they had to even do expositionairy subtitles in parts to fill in missing scenes.

Just because people don't talk doesn't mean there isn't dialogue. I know for a fact the rest of those movies do infact have dialogue as well.

They also all have a very strong story (hence plot). Therefore your list is meaningless as it does not demonstrate movies devoid of plot or dialogue. So yes please go on, I would like to see the list started.

Half Life would have:
No plot "Please Mr Freeman go to the other building."

and...

Very little dialogue "Gordon, Thank god you're alive."

Of course hollywood could make a movie based on "go to the other building" create a convincing plot to make a movie around, you would whine bitch moan about them "changing" things when infact all they did was create something that simply doesn't exist. Half life was a great experience not a great story. Where is the character arc for freeman? "Shoot s**t.... shoot big ass baby." We dont' learn anything more about him he doesn't find out any revelations about himself. He just shoots stuff. At the end of the movie nothing would be resolved, except a big ugly fat thing would be dead, nobody would be apperantly saved from anything, since everyone he encounters pretty much dies shortly thereafter. Trying not to die for 2 hours wouldn't be entertaining as a film. All they got to work off of is:

Gordon Freeman
Vague Government Conspiracy?
Aliens that teleport in.
Get to other building.

Uhm Alien had dialog and a plot.. Come on everyone has to have the WAVE file GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER. by now.. lol

BlackHawk down was about a real life event so its plot was sorta stuck around that..

As for the rest of your list.. im too tired to argue right now.. lol im gonna goto bed now.. been up all night playing WOW.

Alien was really good. I enjoyed it, I got the 9-DVD Box set thing and watched it all, good stuff.

Computer game to film conversion = crap.

Film to computer game conversion = crapper still.

That said, my next two purchases will be Farenheit 911 for the PS2 and the directors cut of Tetris when it comes out on DVD. :razz:
