Karl Urban in Doom
Feelings towards DOOM have shifted so many times that I am can't
even remember if I'm excited for the film anymore. Luckily, Karl Urban recently
sat down to hype up DOOM with Empire Online. In the article, Karl
Urban and Empire explain that Doom is something that we should still be
excited for.
DOOM Updates
Karl Urban, probably best known for his roles in
Lord of the Rings and The Bourne Supremacy, was able to
talk with Empire
Online and assure them that DOOM is everything it has been
hyped up to be. What does this mean? Well, expect a hard-R action film that
should scare you to your seats as Karl Urban and The Rock run around and
blow shit up [one of the biggest fears was that this film would try PG-13].
Other than that, Empire points out that though Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
does seem to have the starring role in the movie stills and promotional
materials, it is Karl Urban who really leads this film. Check out a snippet
from the report below:
For starters, it’s going to be R-rated, and unapologetically violent, and for the main course, it’s got FPS. And if you haven’t played the game before, we should tell you that means First Person Shooter, debuted in an astonishing sequence (which Empire first saw at the San Diego Comic-Con) in which we, the audience, see the action through Grimm’s eyes as he stalks the corridors of the Martian facility armed with a huge gun, blasting beasties left, right and centre.
Running at around 10 minutes, it’s an exact replica of the look and feel of the game, and is simply stunning. “In some ways, it makes cinematic history in that, for the first time, the audience becomes the hero of the film,” said Urban, who confirmed that it is his arm that can be seen throughout the sequence, hefting and reloading the gun. “When we go into FPS, the audience is doing the rampage, the audience is doing the work and that is so cool. It’s insane!”
Empire Online finishes off the article mentioning
that they can't wait for DOOM to invade theatres and, considering
I don't know what to think anymore, now I'm excited too; at least until
the next report. For the entire report on Doom, head over to Empire
Online.
