A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
P-C, you're getting mixed up with House of 1000 Corpses.
Movies-in-the-works based on video games also include Farcry, Bloodrayne and Doom.
eta: Uwe Boll directed House of the Dead. He's also directed the Alone in the Dark movie, plus he's currently directing the Bloodrayne movie and is slated to direct the Farcry movie. If the reviews of House of the Dead are to be believed, it doesn't bode well for any of them.

Point.
And there's that imminent Doom movie.
Which in all likelihood would also be a correct description with "imminent Doom" hyphenated. Why do the studios choose the video games that have the most tenuous and of-secondary-importance stories to base movies on?
Oh, right the 'spolsions.
But...Karl Urban. And The Rock.
Yeah, it's gonna suck.
What, game-wise, sets Doom aside from any other first-person-shooter games? I mean, aside from the fame of the game, why pick that one? Is there anything we have to worry about them actually translating to screen? What are you going to carry through, except for shooting people, and you don't need a joystick for that.

Doom is one of the most profitable video games of all time, and Hollywood wants a some of the BIG PILES OF MONEY that it's earned?
Doom 3 also just came out to big hype. But the movie's gonna be a while.

Which is why I said "aside from the fame of the game."
You couldn't have Mortal Kombat without Raiden, or Resident Evil without zombies.
What does Doom need?
I finally saw Garden State today. It really is a lovely movie. Funnier than I thought it would be. Zach Braff has lips like James Franco -- the kind that I just want to bite. It was really distracting, actually.
I had a few minor pharmacological issues with it, but overall, I really enjoyed it.
