The Rock is Doomed

UPDATE: First Official Picture from DOOM below!

Empire Online got a sweet interview with Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, in which he discussed his current project, DOOM- based on the awesomely violent shoot em’ up video game!



Here’s a peek at what our man The Rock had to say:



“From Doom you can expect an unapologetic rated-R movie that pulls no punches and just like what the video game was able to do in terms of its violence – but not violence for the sake of violence.

I’m playing the commanding officer who, without ruining it for everyone, turns bad, which is great. I’m so excited about that movie, I’ll tell you why. Number one, it’s my first rated-R movie and it’s a very unapologetic rated-R movie. Not only that, but the monsters are real, they’re not CGI. They’re made by Stan Winston who did Jurassic Park and Predator and all that. So the monster’s got weight and when they’re in a scene they’re like Aliens! I get to transform and become, I’m going to tell you this right now, the BMFOTP. Know what that means? It means the baddest motherf*cker on the planet.”



Holy crap! Unaapologetic R rating! Real monsters by Stan Winston! BMFOTP! Sounds like a dream come true for all of us DOOM fans, movie fans and The Rock fans alike!



I personally can’t wait for DOOM to hit theaters, as it was one of my favorite video games to hit the ol’ PC since WOLFENSTEIN 3D- and in film form, if done right (which is sound like it so far), it could be one epic action-packed scary ride! Look for DOOM in theaters everywhere this summer.
