Doom movie trailer released

By Ellie Gibson Published 27 July, 2005

Plus, the stars speak out.

A new trailer for the forthcoming Doom movie is now available to view on US website IGN.

You can also watch a Comic-Con panel discussion with the stars and producers, and find out what The Rock's nickname really means.

The Doom movie begins with Sarge (The Rock) leading his team to a Martian research facility where scientists have just identified the remaining 10 per cent of the human genome, with results that aren't really that hilarious. When it all kicks off and corpses start turning up left right and centre, it's down to John Grimm (Karl Urban) to save the day.

The creature effects are by industry veteran Stan Winston - the same man behind the monsters in classic sci-fi films Alien and Predator - and the movie is directed by Andrzej Bartowiak (Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die).

The Doom movie is out in the US on October 21, and you can expect a European release soon after.

  • assassinx22 #2 7 years ago

    reminds me of the first resident evil movie

  • Tiiti #3 7 years ago

    first re movie was brilliant
    second was something I'm trying hard to forget

    I'm the opposite. I thought RE1 was toilet and RE2 was great :)

  • penhalion #4 7 years ago

    A vote for Re2 movie here too.....oh this is the doom movie forum.....er *sneaks embarrased back out of the room*

  • wattoo #5 7 years ago

    i thought they were both good (for films on their own, never mind films of games), but i preferred the second one.

    it had a fitter bird in it.

  • dllord #6 7 years ago

    RE2 movie was great! RE1 movie was plop!

  • kangarootoo #7 7 years ago

    I'm in the RE1 camp. RE2 was OK in a fun sort of way, but RE1 was ace in a fun sort of way. The Nemesis suit just looked kind of silly I thought.

    I recommened "Anacondas: Hunt for the Black Orchid" to anyone into that sort of monster tosh (as I am). "Frankenfish" is also worth a nosey if you happen upon it, despite the lunatic title.

    Downloading the Doom trailer now, so can't comment on it. Err... so sorry for wasting your time :)

    Damn you Ellie - you made me spit out my jammie dodger when I read that :)

    I couldn't even watch beyond 20 minutes of RE1. It made not one jot of sense.

  • PES_Fanboy #10 7 years ago

    The problem with RE movies was the fact that Day of The Dead etc did it all so much better, years before.

    The Rock has yet to be in a movie that I'd watch over giving oral sex to a male orang-utan with dubious personal hygiene while tap-dancing on red-hot coals and simultaneously sticking knitting needles in each of my ears until they meet in the middle.

    But I'm sure Doom will be great.

    flashlight? FLASHLIGHT??!!

    It's called a Torch boy, a TORCH!

  • Midnight_Raven #12 7 years ago

    Uhm, shouldn´t that actually be torch instead of Torch? Or better yet, a torch light? Electric torch, maybe?
