Computer Gaming talked to the agent of ID head Todd Hollenshead who updated the trade about the possible Doom movie adaptation of the popular game.
"They just got a revised draft of the script and it's looking really good," he says. "Our deal is actually putting time pressure on Warner Brothers to not sit and wait on the movie."
Previously the film was at both Columbia and Universal who owned but never developed the property. ID's deal with Warners puts that studio under deadlines to get things done but it also meant little money up front - the basic setup is "You're not paying us, but you're paying someone to meet these deadlines. If you don't get a script by this date, get green lit by this one, if you don't start filming by a certain time, then the rights immediately come back to us".
Warner Bros. is taking Doom very seriously it seems - "I think DOOM 3 is a great property...and so do [Wells and Bonaventura]. So we're focused on a strong script and from there build the momentum to attract the right director and actors".
