DOOM

[Master Chief]

So Doom comes out October 21st in the states (crept up on us, eh?)

It's starring The Rock, hopefully he's had a few more acting lessons.

Do you think we'll see that game > movie conversions are just as bad as movie > game conversions?

I hear there's a Splinter Cell movie in the making and there's always rumours of a Halo movie, I'm wondering whether maybe the Splinter Cell series may spark a bit of competition for the future of the James Bond series now that Pierce has called quits.

game will bcome like comics - the new hot must-do-a-conversion-to-movies property, and we will be worse off for it :sad:

[kenny]

Yeah i saw the preview of doom, i wanna see it bad, Rock aint that bad at acting

[nshady]

What do you mean "rumours" of Halo movie - it's practically confirmed.

DOOM....could be okay. Meant to be gory, which is good. One question mark - apparently at the end their's a part where it becomes first person, like in the games. Um.........okay.

[Master Chief]

yes nshady, but it's been 'practically' confirmed since around the same time they announced Halo 2.

Awesome. Looking good- can't wait to get 'roun and see it.

[scar7427]

Sounds good ill wait & see it.

[JPW]

Don't mean to offend the Rock. But he doesn't look too right for the role. His shots look weird. Maybe it's because i'm use to a certain look.

And I always thought looking back at the previous Doom games there was always a Van Damme resemblance. In fact isn't that who they kind of built the character upon.

I'll wonder wehen it hits Australia or the Middle East for me.

The Rock is going to star in another game to movie conversation. This time in a movie version of the classic 80s game Spy Hunter.

I heard that ages ago, thought they made it already

[Napoleon Insists]

THEY'RE MAKING SPYHUNTER!?
F' that for a joke. It was an awesome game I had on the NES, but it had no story at all. You were a car or sometimes a helicopter I think and went round blowing stuff up.

[Predator]

god, they are so starved for ideas they'll try anything..

pretty sad actually..

I remember playing it on both the arcade and the commodore 64

[JPW]

even though this interview is WWE based. it'll give a you a good idea of how Doom is shaping and what the Rock's role is.

Beware there is a spoiler though.

it is the #1 movie in the US box office last week

[JPW]

SO.?

Half of the world's worst movies have hit no.1 at the box office in the first week. And it's riding off the video game success more than the Rock's in my view.

It's always a big draw for most blockbusters in the first week, then they go down or up depending on popularity.

[TheAnswer]

Well sorry for stating a fact 

[zen]

i agree with jpw there - most of the the last few years crap movies have hit #1 at the box office - the funny thing is, #1 just means you came out in front of the other movies - you could have made $10 million (peanuts in movie land) and your next competitor $9.9 million, and you win - it doesnt take into account profit margins.

sad thing is people still go and see these  movies so the movie studios will continue making them.
BOYCOTT THE SHITNESS PEOPLE! :angry:

I saw a trailer for this last night on TV and honestly...it looks a bit . Actually that's a lie, it looked extremely .

So far I've enjoyed all of The Rock's movies, but this one...:/

[zen]

the rundown (or welcome to the jungle as its known here) and scorpion king are probably my two favourite rock movies. i wanted to see walking tall as well, because it actually loked pretty good. this doom movie however...

oh and the rock is set to play johnny bravo - how sweet is that! :grin:

[Napoleon Insists]

NO!
HE CAN'T PLAY JOHNNY BRAVO!
I want to.

Walking Tall is quite good. It's not as actiony as his other efforts but I still enjoyed it. I can't believe Blockbuster are still flogging it as a "new release".

[kenny]

Yeah Walking Tall is good the only problem i had with it was that it was or is way too short

[will_85]

i may be going to see this tomorro night so ill let you know how it is

[JPW]

I haven't really enjoyed any of the Rock's movies too much.

Walking Tall was very much average.

Rundown was good for the moment.

Be Cool. Give him credit, one of his best comedy roles to date. In a movie that is. Not to mention he outsold Travolta and Thurman. They practically stunk the movie.

The Scorpion King. An alright epic, with a few great moments. Just thought the ending was a bit overdone.

The Mummy Returns. Not really a role. But he did a good job for his first film.

[scar7427]

Well i liked them all we aint all like you JPW and amen to that.
