Sergei Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I notice it's going to be straight-to-DVD. While that doesn't particularly surprise me (if scifi is a niche then Warhammer 40k is a niche within niche), I wonder how ambitious the movie can be on low budget. Also I wonder if this is going to be fully CGI movie (Codex Pictures is an animation house) or if there is going to be live acting between all the combat. All in all, I can't imagine them doing it worse than Hollywood would have (just think of that Judge Dredd film with Sylvester Stallone...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runyan99 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Doom was a smash hit, so I'm sure this game based movie will be excellent as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Doom was a smash hit, (snip) That's simply a hilarious statement about a movie with a total domestic gross of $28,212,337. That's roughly 4,400,000 tickets sold, mostly to guys who played Doom. Doom did almost $15.5 million at the box office in the first weekend, or about half a million less than the first weekend of Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Doom proceeded to lose over 70% of its audience in the first week and rolled over and sank out of sight. In case you ask, Doom's foreign gross was $27,774,984 for a worldwide box office of $55,987,321. Compare that with the Doom production budget of $60 million. If that makes Doom a smash hit, what does it make Waterworld, one of Hollywood's truly legendary bombs that did a worldwide box office of $264,218,220 on a $175 million production budget? :rolleyes: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If I wasn't gullible I'd think Runyan was just being sarcastic. Clearly for this project to succeed, though, it needs to be directed by Uwe Boll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctid98 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Doom was an woeful film, full of cliched characters and poor predictable story, it could have been so much more but was ruined by Hollywood. Looking forward to a 40K film and hope its of the quality in both visuals and story of something like Final Fantasy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalins Organ Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Doom is a game - of course it has a preduictable story - it's following the game storyline - WTF did you expect?!! rofl..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Doom is a game - of course it has a preduictable story - it's following the game storyline - WTF did you expect?!! rofl..... Apparently it didn't follow the game's storyline very well at all, but managed to come up with its own bad storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Clearly for this project to succeed, though, it needs to be directed by Uwe Boll. I think that may be the first time I've seen a sentence with the word "succeed" and the phrase "Uwe Boll." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
