id Software Apparently Not Involved With ‘DOOM: Annihilation’

So, that DOOM: Annihilation trailer. That seemed rather rough, didn’t it? Not the best way to try and bring people back from the 2005 film starring The Rock, is it? Apparently, we weren’t the only ones with mixed feelings.

As some of you already know, not long after the trailer went live, a fan on Twitter asked both id Software and the official DOOM Twitter accounts what their reactions were to the Annihilation trailer. The DOOM Twitter account had this to say:

Yeah.

Opinions on the apparent quality of the film aside, the fact that id Software isn’t involved in the film is kind of a red flag, since why would you not involve the guys who created the game when making your film? But who knows? The teaser was literally 30 seconds long, so I’ll give them the benefit of doubt that it’s just too brief a snippet to properly gauge the film.

Written and directed by Tony Giglio (S.W.A.T.: Under Siege), DOOM: Annihilation stars Amy Manson (”Atlantis”), Dominic Mafham (Ophelia), Luke Allen-Gale (“Dominion”) and Nina Bergman (The Car: Road to Revenge). The film is scheduled for a Fall 2019 release.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
