The Doom movie script writer address the fans.

[warcrow]

Dave Callaham address us fans, about his concerns with the rumors and rumbles around the internet about the info leaked on the internet about the movie.

I've found it frustrating that I somehow became the goat for the perceived shortcomings of the film, because (and I say this with no humility whatsoever, because I'm not a humble person), that I am, without a doubt, the greatest ally the Doom fan has had during the entire process of the film being made. I am the only person involved creatively who has ever made any attempt to open discourse with the game's internet fanbase, and I am the only person involved who has continually kept the ideals of the game first and foremost in mind. I very truthfully believe that my unapologetic and hyper-violent script would have been a Doom fan's movie dream come true. However, since my involvement, the film has steadily moved away from the realm of fandom and more toward the realm of traditional Hollywood interests. It's not been ideal, in my opinion, but I did what I could when I could, and I stand by that work.

It's a damned shame. Hollywood mananges to ruin so much, and yet we continue to give them money hand over fist.

Noooooo.. so wait.. what is the plot supposed to be then?

Some of the fan responses on that link are classic.

The plot is probably the same plot it's always been. Someone opens a portal to hell and while everyone dies, one marine seems to have no issues taking out even the biggest of demons. It was weak for a game, it'll be even worse for a movie.

Well you might be glad to know that the rumors posted here previously said that this will _not_ be the plot.
