Wolfenstein Still Coming to Film; Doom 2 a Dream

Posted by bob in Films, Games, News on August 5th, 2008

An update has been released regarding the film version of the video game Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead assured Eurogamer work proceeds after a delay. “Roger Avary [Beowulf], the writer, had a commitment that was in line before working the Wolfenstein stuff, but I’ve recently been in contact with Roger and he’s actually working on the script right now.”

Avary is attached to write and direct the project should it receive a green light.

Hollenshead also told Shack News that “I’d like to do another Doom movie; I thought working with it was a blast. There are some lessons we learned. The best way to do things better is to get the experience.” Universal retains the film rights and has not made any noise about making a sequel given the original’s disappointing reception and box office performance.
