ID software and Universal are working on a movie based on the infamous first person shooter killer game ever created in gaming history...DOOM.

They've found a new director who would work for the movie, the director who've made movies including "Romeo Must Die" starring Jet Li. The casting weren't complete yet, but there were rumors that the popular wrestler of WF, "The Rock" would take role as the lead character of the sci-fi horror film coming in 2006.

Doom movie gets new director

Cradle 2 the Grave helmer Andrzej Bartkowiak takes over Universal's adaptation of id's hell-on-Mars shooter.
Even though id Software still hasn't officially acknowledged it is a done deal, Universal is moving forward with its movie adaptation of Doom. 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. He replaces Enda McCallion, who had to leave the film for "personal reasons," according to Variety. The Doom movie is tentatively slated for a 2006 release; no casting announcements have been made, but reportedly the Rock has been offered the lead.

I've been hearing rumors about the upcoming Zelda movie ever since 1998 when "ocarina of time" was released for the Nintendo 64...and I don't hear anything new about it in a while...since I hear it would be a very long movie like titanic, and would star actors who were in award-winning films and get them into the Zelda film to make it more interesting but I dunno...

I've been hearing rumors that Leonardo DiCaprio (Catch me if you can, Gangs of New York, and Titanic) would star as Link but I seriously hope its a joke since I dont think he is REALLY a good actor at all...in fact...I HATE him. seriously.

I dont really know who should star as Link but a couple of wild guesses that would be in my mind would be Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) or Tobey McGaire (sp?) (Spider-man) could proably do good when they play as Link IF they have good experience on the Legend of Zelda games and stuff...

Anyway, I've heard other videogame based movies like Crazy Taxi (orginally released on Sega's Dreamcast) and Dead or alive (popular fighting series by Tecmo and Team Ninja) are in for the works but not sure if they even wrote a scpirit for it yet...
