Recently there was some information released on the Doom movie. A lot of fans
became quite mad about it not being like the games were. They pointed their
fingers at Dave Callaham, the movies scriptwriter.
Today, an open letter from Dave to the fans got published, explaining why the
Doom movie will be like they state it would.
You can read the whole letter here
I can understand his want to create an extension, rather than an adaptation of
Doom. That's what the first Resident Evil movie was, and I really liked that
movie. I thought it was cool taht it was an extra chapter of the story, as
opposed to a chapter that'd already been done. But the Doom movie can't be an
extension of the Doom universe if the bad guys aren't even demons! The entire
premise of the game was battling the denizens of hell. Maybe if it's a movie
that occurs after the events in the Doom games, maybe then it could still be
part of the Doom universe, but itd be sorta pointless, as that demonic mini-war
was all that there really was to doom (plotwise).
Well he said that all the things we like about doom will be represented in the
movie... does that mean that demons will play a part? we can only hope so... I
could understand the want to make it another chapter... but there is a main
difference between the doom games and games like resident evil. In RE you
controlled a character with its own personality and short commings... the doom
games always went the mile to make it feel like it was you... you were the
character.. You were the only thing that could save the world from the rampaging
legions of hell.. and i like that quality.. but how on earth do you film an
entire movie in First person without making the audiece seasick?

Well, you're closer to the release of the DOOM movie, and the only person I know in the cast is the Rock. So now what do you think of that?
