Hollywood actor and sometimes wrestling star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has stated that he wouldn't be against starring in another videogame-based film, even though DOOM "didn't work out" as planned. He also added that he'd think a Black Ops movie would be badass.
"I thought we had an opportunity with DOOM," he admitted. "Didn't work out the way we wanted it to, creatively." He said that he'd do another videogame movie "if the right one came along."
The Rock believes that Call of Duty is ripe for film: "Black Ops -- that'd be bad ass. Let's make it happen. Let's do it. That and Black Swan 2."

I Feel kinda bad 4 The rock having to do all these crappy movies :~/ but I Guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do to pay the bills.
Unless he incorporated the peoples elbow.
Hopefully they'd just kill each other off.
and Doom 2 wasn't a bad movie - people take video game-based movies way too seriously. it was fun and enjoyable SF action movie. seriously guys what were you expecting out of movie based on Doom, a game with a story that could be written on a napkin and you still would have enough space for a Doom 2 storyline.
Driving Miss Daisy and Hannah Montana
Yeah. You didn't missed much.
Nah, it was more like Resident Evil in Space.
Genetic Experiments, Special Tactics Team investigating, people turning into monsters and the team leader turns on his team at the end.
Not saying it's high art. It's not. But it was a great spectacle and anyone expecting much better is not all that bright.
Flaming aside, what the hell is he talking about?
And to be honest, I think Rock's a pretty good action movie actor (better than Stallone/Ah-nuld/Diesel/Statham) but he needs a new agent who gives him more movies like The Rundown.
Black Ops...eh, no thanks. The Black Ops script was okay at best, nothing outstanding.
true. before bashing a movie based on anything people should know the source material those movies are based on. Doom was pretty amazing movie considering pretty bad source material. same thing was with first Resident Evil movie - it was really good movie considering its source material at the time. Silent Hill, first Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider movie were good video game-based movies. wanna see bad movie? go watch Tekken, Uwe Boll's "flicks" and see if you can stand watching it for more than 10 minutes.
as long as movie is fun to watch and enjoyable it is a good film based on video games. let's be honest here - we won't get The Dark Knight of video games cause there's not many titles with a plot that would allow it without any differences made by film makers themselves to the story of source material.
Yeah The Rock must be mad,the Doom movie was actually Cliffy B bad ass! I enjoyed it for what it was, and Karl Urban i dont care what people think, he was fucking awesome in Doom! and those whiney Space marines! classic
I got Doom for free when i bought Death Race on Blu Ray at my local Blockbuster for some reason.
@Neroisonfire
There is an app for your problem!
I ain't even mad. However, you're trying way too hard.
Doom wasnt THAT bad, just cheesy. How the hell would you make a serious Doom movie anyway?
1) Okay, it's not Doom-Doom, it's just a film with the same name. Shut up and enjoy it.
Or 2) Consider that Doom didn't was hardly rich in plot anyway, accept that videogame movies have never been more than loosely based on the original material, shut up and enjoy it.
I just have an issue with people hating on it because its not a sprite-based faux-3D FPS with a soundtrack that badly mimicks popular metal tracks from the period.
NONE OF YOU WILL EVER GET IT
Lol. You just reminded me of the time I was watching Faster and my niece walked in, saw the tv and said Toothfairy!. I lol'd when I realized why she said that.
some of you are so pathetically predictable
