Cyb Posted July 7, 2004 From the ever-changing Doom 3 movie rumor mill comes word that the Rock (star of The Rundown, Walking Tall and uh, some wraslin' stuff) may be cast in the Doom movie. This is speculation for now, of course, but most likely the Rock will be in the lead role (since he's been dubbed Arnie's replacement in the world of action movies). I'm not too sure what to think of this right now, but he'd probably fit the part pretty well. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted July 7, 2004 Heh, he'd give the Demons the People's Eyebrow and kill them where they stood. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted July 7, 2004 He'd make a good demon (Baron of Hell maybe?), but please not the main character. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ralphis Posted July 7, 2004 He'll drop the Phobos Elbow on the Hellspawn's candy ass. Anyway, I like the Rock. If they're gonna make a crappy doom movie, I'd rather them make it with a star I like. Also, funny note. As far as I remember, The Rock was going to be cast as Duke Nukem in the Duke Nukem movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted July 7, 2004 Which would be worse, the Rock or Vin Diesel? 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted July 7, 2004 So that means a hot scene with the Rock and an Imp, right? 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted July 7, 2004 Sounds like the movie's going to become just what the Doom comic book was. Campy and chock full of poorly written one-liners. Somehow I'm not surprised. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted July 7, 2004 John Travolta would be a cool Doomguy. It's like "Pulp Doom" Lines: "I shoulda brought a shotgun" "You mean the imp with the shit in her face?" 0 Share this post Link to post
Murdoch Posted July 7, 2004 The Rock as Duke? Gahahahaha! That would be hilarious /imagines the rock with bleached hair and crew cut, laughs self into near coma Anyway, the Rock's cool. I could see him in a co-starring role in the Doom movie. I don't think he has enough force for the lead role. He comes over as kinda goofy somehow, even when he's serious. The head "Doomguy" should look like he could kill you with a look. 0 Share this post Link to post
SYS Posted July 7, 2004 Yeah I also heard about the rock originally playing Duke Nukem. But the doom dude? This movie is going to be another stupid sci-fi action movie, full of fucking retarded one liners to ruin the dark, serious, chaotic mood of the movie. It won't suprise me if the movie only gets a PG rating, which will mean it'll be even more retarded than the comic book, and novels that were pissed out of the minds of intravenous drug users. I think they'd be much better off having a real audition and casting an unknown that no one has ever heard of. That way they can at least save a whole lotta money on production value and we don't have to watch the Rock giving the jabronie demons the people's elbow. But of course they'll cast him because he'll be able to lure most people into the movie theatres. The advantage of casting an unknown however, is that we don't associate their character, personality, with another role. Where as, when you watch the Rock, or any of other of the likely idiot choices like Vin Diesel they always play the same fucking character every movie. There are well known actors out there that are capable of being diverse with every role they get. But hell this a fuckin action movie, who really cares about any of that? =D 0 Share this post Link to post
SulfurOccult Posted July 7, 2004 i think it would be great. i can just see the Rock shouting "here comes the night train!" or "dance, dance bonedaddy!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted July 7, 2004 Could have been worse I suppose... could have been Vin Diesel. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jonathan Posted July 7, 2004 What the hell are you people moaning about? This isn't Shakespeare for christ's sake, it's a movie about a big guy with guns killing aliens/hellspawn. I mean who were you expecting in the lead role? Al Pacino? Patrick Stewart? Judy Dench? The Rock is a perfectly sensible choice, and the quality of the movie will depend far more on the scriptwriter and director's abilities than the action hero lead. Arnie was never the greatest actor, but he still made Total Recall, a pretty damn kickass intelligent action movie about guns, Mars and aliens. Personally I'm just glad it's not fucking Keaunu Reeves. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted July 7, 2004 haha, yeah, please let it not be Keanu Reeves, Nicholas Cage, or Steven Seagal. 0 Share this post Link to post
Epistax Posted July 7, 2004 A doom movie would not be complete unless no one ever spoke a word, there was only the main character and demons, and the main character shoots those demons. Thus, good choice with the Rock. 0 Share this post Link to post
