Today, the film' s producers announced they have brought a new director on board the project. Polish director and former cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak, director of Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, and Cradle 2 the Grave, will take over the project.

DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rock is perfect for the role. I can' t wait to see it.

I agree...the Rock is an awesome presence...

If this game is even half as good as the game is supposed to be...then we' re in for a real treat!

Is it true that they aiming to the PG-13 rating still? That is just blashphemy...ya i dont know how to spell that word and i dont even knwo what it means...

How can they put a PG-13 rating when the game is rated mature? that would make no sense at all. It better be rated R.

Yep...there' s nothing I hate more than a PG-13 hellspawn.

I can imagine that.

Zombie takes a point blank triple shotgun shot in the chest. And stumbles over like the pillsberry boy without so much as even a drop of shugar. Kinda reminds me of the happy days in MOA:AH. Where D-Day as awesome as it was, had not a single drop of blood whatsoever. Leaving the gamer puzzled standing there peering into the bunkers anticipating a soft pellet to hit his helm at any time.

DOOM where pretend bullets come ALIVE !!
-in stores sept 11 2006.

I was thinking more along the lines of when a zombie gets shot his body explodes, and rainbows and butterflies emerge.
