News, everybody.
WASD.TV has some exclusive footage of the panel at Quakecon regarding the movie.

You can find it here.
It's 47 minutes long, but I'd say it's worth it. Quick overview of what happens:
- There's two sets of footage shown. One is the extended trailer, which looks really badass. Another is a big sequence of the first person perspective stuff they tried. It may seem like a cheap gimmick in the trailer, but it's awesome in the sequence.
- The Rock isn't the star. He plays Sarge. The Doom Guy is played by someone else. Just for those of you that are worried that it'll be a Rock movie.
- There are CG effects, but it's all well blended together with the traditional makeup FX stuff.
- The studio guy constantly jumps around the issue of the story, meaning it'll probably suck. Shame, really.
- Confirmed monster appearances are Imps, Pinky Demons, and Hell Knights.
- Weapons are authentic to the game.
- Set is authentic to the game.

Watching this video has me very excited about the movie.

Something has gone wrong at a remote scientific research station on Mars. All research has ceased. Communication has failed. And the messages that do get through are less than comforting. It's a level 5 quarantine, and the only souls allowed in or out are the Rapid Response Tactical Squad—hardened Marines armed to the teeth with enough firepower to neutralize any enemy ... or so they think.

The research being done at Olduvai station has unwittingly opened a door, and all hell has broken loose. A legion of nightmarish creatures of unknown origin lurks behind every wall and stalks the countless rooms and tunnels of the facility, killing what few people remain.

Sealing off the portal to Earth, Sarge (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson), Reaper (Karl Urban) and their team must use every weapon at their disposal—and some they find along the way—to carry out their orders: nothing gets out alive.
