"When will it be released?

The movie was originally scheduled for August, but got pushed back to October. They wanted to spend some more time working on the special effects.

It's got to be kind of trippy to see a game that you worked on, that was in your head, come to life on screen. To be able to walk on a real set taken from your idea must have blown your mind.

It was pretty wild the first time I was on the set because you can tell that the set designer spent a significant amount of time studying the game in the way Doom 3 was architected. It just oozed Doom. It was a wild thing to go in and see what you had only seen on a computer monitor, as a far away thing you couldn’t reach out and touch the surface of the halls or anything, and then you go and stand in the middle of it and are surrounded by it is almost surreal. At first I was speechless, like, 'This is friggin cool!'


Did you give the special effects guys and costume designers any instructions?

We just told them, 'We'd like you to take our creatures and make them appropriate for the movie.” And the special effects guys said, 'We don’t wanna mess with perfection on these things, we just wanted to build it out so it was as true to what we saw in the game.' They felt they were starting with such a great art source for the character suits, so they just made them come to life.

The costumes are straight out of the game. I was like, 'Wow, this is really amazing.' Even though I've played the game a million times, you can't reach out and feel the slime dripping out of the Hell Knight as he roars at you. But I did!'"
