By James Wray Sep 15, 2004, 7:34 GMT
Universal Pictures is in negotiations with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for a role in the movie adaptation of the video game franchise Doom. In addition Karl Urban (The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Bourne Supremacy) has been cast as John Grimm, the leader of a special ops team. This was confirmed by our reporter last week at The Fellowship Gathering in London.
When dealing with alien demons, Grimm is forced to cross paths with the organization responsible for his parents' deaths. In the game, the story is set at a Mars space station, where an aerospace conglom is conducting secret experiments when something unleashes a demonic force that threatens to overtake the facility.
The futuristic action-adventure, based on id Software's and Activision's Doom 3 game, will be directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Cradle 2 the Grave) and was written by Dave Callaham. Doom is scheduled filming in mid-October for an August 5, 2005 release.
