Went to watch Stealth today. It was better than I thought it would be--from the previews you can tell that it was just another summer movie, with a lot of special effects. But it turned out to be a slightly smarter film that I thought it would be.
As I somewhat expected, they showed the trailer for the Doom movie that's gonna be released soon. In interviews Karl Urban and the Rock have said that the film is very faithful to the game, but somehow I don't think Karl Urban has played any of the original Doom games, so one has to wonder about the validity of his claims. The original games had very little story... what little story it did have mostly came from the game's FAQ, so really all they had to do to keep the movie "faithful to the game" was to keep those same basic elements, i.e. portal to Hell on Mars.
Despite early reports making the movie take place in the far reaches of space, they have shown that the movie will take place on Mars, so that's half the puzzle. Perhaps the thing about the human genome in the trailer was more of a red herring, and they do have the same "portal to hell" elements. I guess we'll know in time. At least they did say in the trailer that "all hell broke loose," so perhaps they do keep that element.
I think the Rock knows what BFG really stands for, but is contractually obligated to say "Bio-Force Gun."
