Well, I'm looking forward to Tomb Raider 2.

Max Payne sounds cool, hope they do it correctly.

DOOM, well that could be very cool. It'd have to be cast properly and have an R-rating though. Last I heard, it was PG-13.

Just saw the Add for The Punisher (woah there SM, just the poster) Then I heard that Travolta will be playing the Villain.

Edit> oh yeah... and I'll be intersted in any Deus Ex movie... I find it funny that Tomb Raider the movie dealt with the Illuminati and Deus Ex the game dealt with the illuminati...

I was reeeaaallly dissapointed to hear the Doom movie was going to be PG-13.

I smell Resident Evil Movie: 2...
None of the plot, all of the things Hollywood producers assume make the big bucks... which don't.

Currently recording:
Starlight Zone
Completed (in stereo MP3 format):
Green Hill Zone
Marble Zone
Labyrinth Zone

Well, Resident Evil pretty much sucked.

Day of the Dead kills it in fear factor and sheer gore. All Res-Evil did was take the name, throw in zombies and a licker, and toss in a Matrix kick scene. Bang, you got RE:The Movie.

Yeah, 1400+ posts, weird huh?

I heard the Doom Movie rumor a long time ago...
Max Payne sounds like it might turn out as a good one. I felt really disipointed about the Resident Evil Moive though. I could of been better realy better....

[Malchik]

Oh no please not Doom, I hope Hollywood does not ruin the good name of Doom. Max Payne would be cool though.

I thought Event Horizon was supposed to be a bit of a Doom rip off.

Like I said, Hollywood's probably grabbing the Doom license strictly for cash, and making it PG-13 so it's more accessible, thus resulting in more cash.

My guess is that they'll pull a Resident Evil, cram it full of teeny-junk and NuMetal, etc., etc....

No way you can do a Doom movie right without it being R.

I'm not saying I'm 100% biased against the thought of this movie being a success, it's just that recent (and unfortunately, long-going) trends in Hollywood have made me nervous.
