if i made it there would be certain things that would be essentail.
1. imp dieing noise
2. dead things would always "face" you
3. the main dude could never jump, climb or crouch
4. 30 mins of the film would be the guy running round the same are looking for the last key
5. at the end of the film (when he comes against the elaborate shoot 3 rockets through hole area) it would have him running round getting frustrated at not knowing what to do before putting in the noclip cheat and finding the head on a stick.... roll credits.
the perfect movie |
I thought the art direction, however simplistic, was what made Doom and Doom II great. The story can be expanded upon, and I think that's what they should have attempted.
There was an experiment in teleport technology, right? If I am to understand, that's how the gateway to hell was created in the first place. They were attempting to transport something from Phobos to Deimos with this technology, making cargo shipment convoys a thing of the past. Your character was on guard duty at the time, when they got all sorts of strange, scary transmissions showing death and demons. The soldiers were all horribly slaughtered, then brought back to life by whatever evil presence lead the invasions from Hell. That was the zombie aspect of the Doom games. There were lots of badass demons as well, and even machine-demon hybrids that tended to kick your ass if you weren't skilled with a plasma rifle.
Doom II's official title, if you remember, was Doom II: Hell On Earth because, regardless of how many demons you killed in the first game, it wasn't enough to prevent other portals from opening on Earth. Our world was soon in shambles and infested by the undead and the all-too alive demons and imps. Cacodemons, Mancubus, Revenants, etc. - all very scary, very well-designed counterparts to our space marine. An underlying theme was always present that set Doom away from all of the other first-person shooters before (Wolfenstein 3D) and after (Doom-clones). I remember, in the PS version of Doom, the musical tracks were very different than the PC - it almost seems as though they redid the entire thing. There was this dark ambiance that would, occasionally, throw in the far-off sounds of babies crying - it would really get to you after a while! You would cruise down poorly-lit hallways, candle-light illuminating walls with satanic symbols and pentagrams adorning them. Altars were placed that occasionally still held beating, human hearts in them. The bodies of your compatriots lined great field sometimes - dismembered appendages hanging from meat-hooks and impaled, quivvering, corpses with their guts wrenched from them littered the bleak atmosphere of the pale-green and brown hallways.
I think that, however risky it might be, a Doom movie deserves quasi-religious themes because of this. Though thousands of dumbass Christians would pickett the theatres (a la Passion of the Christ), the story would only receive justice if Hell was a place of pentagrams and evil presences - much like religious texts have made it out to be. the movie would have to be very dark and ambient, with flowing, (minamally) Gothic music, and horrible images of violence. Of course, I know this will never happen because film studios have too much to lose. In fact, I am willing to bet that this Doom movie will be rated PG-13.

Hmm, This movie will probably suck, Heres why, There was a movie based on the game, The house of the dead, And the movie isnt nowhere near based on the actual game, Its a completely different story unrelated from the game, And the only aspects they took from the games, Were the zombies, All they did was splash the title of the game onto this crappy movie and that was it, Personally, I hate it when hollywood tries to completely ruin a franshize by creating a story that has nothing to do with the game rather then use the source material for the basis of the story, Only a few video game movies were based on the source material, Like Mortal Kombat and the Tomb Raider movies, Anything else plain suck, Well, theres the two resident Evil movies, They turned out really well.
