Universal Pictures Home Entertainment had been saying that they plan to release DOOM: ANNIHILATION, a new film based on the popular DOOM video game franchise, sometime this fall. Now it has been revealed that this movie about unleashing the forces of Hell is coming out in the perfect month for such things: October.
DOOM: ANNIHILATION's DVD and Blu-ray release is scheduled for October 1st, and if you'd like to pre-order a copy you can do so at THIS LINK.
Written and directed by Tony Giglio, the film follows
a group of space marines as they respond to a distress call from a base on a Martian moon, only to discover it’s been overrun by demonic creatures who threaten to create Hell on Earth.
Amy Manson, Louis Mandylor, Dominic Mafham, Luke Allen-Gale, Clayton Adams, and Nina Bergman star.
Jeffery Beach, Phillip Roth, and Ogden Gavanski produced the film, with Lorenzo Di Bonaventura and John Wells serving as executive producers.
DOOM: ANNIHILATION is a low budget direct-to-video movie, but here's hoping it will at least be more similar to the source material than the big screen DOOM was 14 years ago.
