Iconic video game franchiseDoomis reportedly getting a second chance on the big screen according toSharknadoactress Nina Bergman. The actress/singer took to social media earlier this week to announce that she has been cast in the upcomingDoom Remake, which is being made by Universal. The original 2005 movie starred Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and was universally panned, mostly for abandoning the source material and making a pretty long and drawn out movie that many considered to be a giant bore.
Fans of theDoomfranchise have wondered for a long time about a potential remake or reboot of the 2005 film, and now, it looks like it’s set to go into production pretty soon. Nina Bergman announced the existence of the newDoommovie on Twitter but did not state if it was a remake or reboot of the video game adaptation. Additionally, she didn’t mention who was directing the project, instead calling the mystery director “cool.” Bergman had this to say.
“Wow, I’m doing the nextDoommovie w/Universal Pictures! I just signed all the paperwork. I get to go back to Bulgaria again and work with some of my favorite people. This movie w/a super cool Director and my new record coming out, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.”
When Nina Bergman was asked about how it will compare to the originalDoommovie, she replied that the new movie features a script that is “much better.” Other than that, and the fact that they’re reportedly scouting locations inBulgaria, there’s no other official information about the newDoommovie from any other sources. We’re going to have to take Bergman’s word for it at the moment and hope that it does end up a lot better than the first movie.
Dwayne Johnson recently released Rampage, which is also based off of a video game and took some time to throw some light shade at the originalDoommovie that he starred in. Johnson claimed thatRampagehad beaten the “video game movie curse,” and reminded everyone that he was in that “stinker"Doomand that he had lived through the curse. The official Twitter account for the franchise jokingly responded with a single word: “Dwayne.”
Doomis one of the mostlegendary video game franchisesin history, sparking the first-person shooter revolution, so it deserves a proper big screen adaptation. Whether the newDoommovie will be able to do it remains a mystery, especially since so little is known about the project at the current time. On the good side, it really shouldn’t be very hard to make a better movie than the 2005 version at all, so Universal definitely has nowhere to go except up. The same can be said about Sony’sMasters of the Universemovie. It’s almost impossible to make the new movies worse than the originals. you’re able to check out the announcement about the newDoommovie below, provided byNina Bergman’s Twitteraccount.
