Universal wants to give you more DOOM

Escapist gives us this dire warning:
There are rumors that Universal, the studio that owns the movie rights to the Doom games, is planning a big screen reboot, barely six years after the original movie came out. The 2005 movie starred Karl Urban and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as part of a futuristic military team sent to investigate a distress call from a Martian outpost.
And that 2005 film flopped hard. One bit that everyone but me seemed to geek over is that idiot’s idea of having a first person shooter POV scene late in the film. Doom (the film) I thought had a lot going for it as some creature feature designs go but they were too few and I wonder where all the budget went. The film overall was a crapfest.
Today I stumbled on this news. Now, if it was a DTV effort maybe…they could get away with it. But a PG-13 Doom? Big budget? On a game that - well let’s just say it may have paved road for many a game, but it is past its prime. I don’t think the studio is that serious- but you never know.
Anyone want a DOOM redo?
Hello mah baby, hello mah darling, hello mah ragtime gal! More Doom!
Screw Doom!
I want DUKE NUKEM, with Schwarzenegger playing the lead and Sam Raimi directing.
HELL YEAH!!!
I would love to see a reboot but more along the lines of Doom 3! The original Doom books were just too out there for a movie but I think the story and monsters from Doom 3 would be amazing. The 2005 movie was a massive sh!tfest…I was excited to see the Cyberdemon and what did they do instead; a retarded fight scene with the Rock and K. Urban jacked up on demon steroids.
I don’t need anymore Doom, I’ll hold out for Half-Life 2 movie… just like I’m holding out for Episode 3… UGH.
