RUMOR: Live-action Doom series in the works for Peacock streaming service

[Shepardus]

I hope ignoring the previous two movies means that they've decided to adopt Going Down as the canon Doom universe.

hooray, corporate ghouls are milking the corpse of the best video game franchise of all time even further!

...But Doom is not dead. As divisive as Doom Eternal was, it seemed to have been a considerable success nonetheless.

I was curious about that. The idea of adapting the events of the book into some kind of meta-narrative documentary series or just a straight film of sorts similar to Pirates of Silicon Valley or The Social Network could be interesting. As for this possible new Doom series, I hope for the sake of the show's writers that the plan is to explore the lore established in the nuDoom games; which would be the better option since it gives the writers a foundation to work from, rather than the paper-thin narrative of Classic Doom.

There was a TV biopic on the GTA series that I think was based on the book about its creation also by David Kushner. Masters Of Doom has hope yet. I’d personally like to see it happen.

 

As for a TV show of Doom the “Nu-Doom” has more meat on the bone as far as story goes BUT…… we now live in a world where there are some seriously over sensitive folks who get offended by …..well……pretty much everything. 
2016 and Eternal have have very religious tones that raise questions and challenge what we have come to “believe” in regards to Heaven/Hell/God/Satan/Good/bad etc….

The backlash could be an epic tale in on itself.

Anyone ever see the film ‘Dogma’? A great comedy with Jay and Silent Bob. That caused a ruckus back in the late 90’s (a time where people could laugh at stuff and leave it at that) for it’s twist on and poking fun at christianity. 
Doom Eternals story especially put into a medium that is easy for everyones consumption…could make heads explode.

Oh boy! This is probably going to be Who Killed Captain Alex? levels of quality right here.

This sort of stuff would be less controversial now than back then.

I think you're thinking of the wrong religion. Christianity is the official approved punching bag religion for Hollywood/other big studios.

Not around here it wouldn't be. There were protests outside theaters here when The Golden Compass was released. Deep in wacko fundie land.

Doom Live-action? NBC? This gonna suck, just like most of the movies or series rn.

To me, the trend of religious folks freaking out more and more over the years in America is a sign that religious fundamentalism is dying out. It's their final breath.

Or it's a sign of how off-kilter things are getting. Seriously though, if you consider that freaking out you should look up the Charlie Hebdo incident.
