The "Doom" movie adaptation might not suck?

Just found this on another forum and thought I'd pass it on:

Summary for those too lazy to read the whole thing:
Apparently, the movie will be faithful to the look and feel of the Doom games, as well as the original "story" (not that there was much of one to begin with). The BFG will be in the movie, as well as zombies, demons, Hell Barons, etc. They'll even have a brief first-person sequence as a nod to the game. Id Software has been involved with the project and everyone doing the movie wanted to be faithful to the game, evidently.
They mention a brief trailer that shows the first-person sequence and it does sound pretty cool, but I want to see it for myself.
Who knows, maybe this won't be just another crappy video game to movie adaptation ("Alone In The Dark" and "Wing Commander", anyone?).
