Website GameDaily sprak met Todd Hollenshead van ID Software, het bedrijf achter de populaire Doom games, en vroeg hem naar de verfilming die momenteel in de maak is.





[eng]What is the latest status of the movie? I know the first deal expired after a year. Can you run through the process?

"The script is close to final and we're very happy with it. Universal is in the process of casting and pre-production now. With every passing day I become more and more confident that we will see DOOM at movie theaters before the end of next year."

What are your hopes and goals in terms of bringing Doom to the big screen?

"I want to see the movie be true to what the legacy of the DOOM games mean to fans. Scary, intense, lots of action, and consistent with what we've done in the games. However, movies and games are different media, so some things will and should be different. I'm not looking for "DOOM 3: The Movie" and that's not what it will be. The script is not based on the DOOM 3 story, but is based on the DOOM universe, so fans will see plenty in the movie that they will recognize from the game."

Do you have a time frame in terms of when you'd like a script completed and when the film might hit theaters?

"The script is very close to final already. I'll be ecstatic if it's out by the end of next year. But I'm like other fans: the sooner the better!"[/eng]
