"a cop who in the course of a murder investigation realizes that he is not human and uncovers a war between good and evil aliens"

That sounds like a Bollshit plot; was he too busy fighting Wired bloggers to get in on this?

maby they are following the same methods that the Doom movie followed, diverge completely from the source material. And people wonder why a game to movie adaption is never taken seriously.

This is the same Tarsem that did REM's Losing My Religion. He can definitely nail creepy imagery - but blooh's right, the script has to better than the usual craptacular fare.

The only thing going for it is that it's not a hallowed franchise like Resident Evil or DOOM where the fanboys are going to rip apart ANY script that comes out. My worry is that the market is already flooded with lame horror films, so do we really need one tied to a video game IP?

The Cell...I didn't like that movie. I remember seeing it in the theater and feeling like it was trying too hard to do artsy, weird stuff and not trying hard enough focus on the plot or deliver a coherent over all film.

This article is all wrong I think. The movie is not from the game. After reading this: http://www.hidef.com/news-items/1795-jason-hall-clarifies-unforgettable-film-project.html#post3940

I am not seriously excited!

Tarsem Singh is a great and visionary director.

I really hope that's VERY loosely based on the same source material. I'd be extremely disappointed to find out that the forces behind all the strange occurences in Condemned: Criminal Origins are actually aliens. I much prefer to believe that there is a more supernatural slant to things, like the first game seemed to suggest.
