Universal Pictures is Developing a New Film Adaptation of DOOM!
Universal Pictures is planning to take another crack at the Doom video game franchise! Back in 2005 the Dwayne Johnson and Karl Urban film was released and, unfortunately, it wasn't really the best movie and it was a big flop at the box office. Obviously, they hope that things will be a little different this next time around.
The news of the film comes from actress Nina Bergman (Assassin X) who recently posted a series of interesting tweets revealing that Universal is prepping a new adaptation of Doom that she will be starring in.
The actress says, "Wow I’m doing the next “Doom” movie w/Universal Pictures! I just signed all the paperwork. I get to go back to Bulgaria again and work with some of my favorite people. This movie w/a super cool Director AND my new record coming out, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world."
Universal Pictures hasn't officially announced anything on their end yet, which make me think that Bergman should have looked at that paperwork she signed a little more closely before tweeting out this information. Normally this isn't the way a big studio would want an announcement like this made, so I'm wondering if she's saying something that she shouldn't be saying. But, it's out there now, and there's no takebacks!
In another tweet, Bergman said that the new adaptation will be better than the 2005 film, as it has a "much better script."
We have no other information on the film but as a fan of the Doom franchise, I can't help but be a little excited about how this might turn out. It really can't end up being any worse than the first movie! In case you need a little reminder of what that first movie was like, I included the trailer below.
