I was recently browsing fanedit.org and noticed that someone had done a fan edit of the movie DOOM. In face it turned out to be a fanedit of a fanedit. - Doom the Posessed, Re-Cut.

So I downloaded it being quite curious but it actually left me disappointed. It was my understanding that they tried to keep a dark tone to the movie and cut down on cheese, but in the end a lot of this was in tact and in fact some of the parts i liked best had been removed. Now i don’t mean to put anynew down but with me as the audience this edit failed in it’s intent.

I started thinking about how to present to movie in an interesting way…Later that day I watched Planet Terror…You can probably see where this is going.

I decided that it might be fun to give doom a bit of a grindhouse treatment and aim for a more budget shlock sort of look and feel.

Ther were also several areas of the film I felt could be improved that faneditors had not touched on, Including the music. I consider myself a fan of Clint Mansell but a lot of the music here is subtle and not very memorable. I’d also planned to add some rock and roll music in places - ie: the token helicopter scene.

So anyway here’s some quick ideas i’ve thought about. I haven’t actually dona any work on this proper, just planning out some ideas and seeing what, if anything, is viable…What do people think? I’d probably tone down anything that’s too distracting…

To be clear the intent is not so much to make the movie scary - which i WILL be working at, but moreso to create something that’s fun to watch. I’ll gladly add things that seem over the top if it works in terms of entertaining.

At this point I’m just fishing for ideas.
