Default Re: (Way OT) WOOOOT DOOM THE MOVIE!

From what i've read on the Doom movie early last year, they've scaled it back due to threats from christian conservative groups and anti-game violence groups. Since the game was tied to the Columbine fiasco, and features a ton of satanic overtones, no studio was willing to touch the first couple of scripts until it was 'cleaned up' and 'sanitized' for more moral audiences.

What I find humorous about the whole thing is that even if they kept the satanic and violence, most of the people objecting to it wouldn't see it. And even now, most still won't see it.

Im probably going to go see it, despite all the stupid changes they've made. I just wish it was the way it is supposed to be, with demons and without stupid mutation viruses.

I would have rather they had chosen Vin Deasel but The Rock will do as well.
