Commander Keen was rad.t: Oldschool, by the Doom guys before they created their quasi-3D engine for Wolfenstein/Doom. I think they were trying to get a license from Nintendo to port Mario to the PC around that time, they couldn't so they did their own scroller type game but with shooting elements.
Bruce Campbell.They should get dolph lundgren to play pappy nukem. He would totally do it and duke obviously owes his origins to dolphs career
It was announced back in January that Paramount and Platinum Dunes are moving forward on a live-action adaptation of the video game Duke Nukem, with WWE superstar John Cena tapped to play the jacked up, ass kicking title character. Dunes producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form updated Cinema Blend on the project this week.
As of right now, theyre still trying to nail the overall tonal approach.
We are working on Duke Nukem right now. Its going to be about tone, Form told the site. How do you nail that tone in the way that Deadpool nailed the tone? I think we have to do that and if we dont get the tone right then were not going to make the movie.
He continued, You know that having a misogynistic guy in todays world, how do you make that fun and lovable and at the same time hes got to be an incredible badass? So those are the things that were struggling with and were going to try and come out with what I hope is a really fun ride. Thats the goal, is for it to be a really fun ride.
Form also noted that Cena is their go-to star, but nothing is set in stone without a script.
Yeah, [John Cena is who] were working with now. He is. Yes, Form confirmed. We dont have a script yet, so that is confirmed at this point. But if he reads the script and he doesnt like the script Im sure theres ways that he could pull out. But right now hes our guy.
Screen Rant: Video game movies are on the rise again. Tomb Raider is coming out. Duke Nukem is something youve been attached to and you look like Duke Nukem.
John Cena: I think thats the direct attachment and Im very honored to be attached to that but that is a very fragile franchise. That was one that was very timeline specific, that is 1990s to the hilt. So, once again, it reflects upon story. The story has to come in dead-on balls, man. Like it has to come in told correct, told in a palatable sense for this generation, which youre walking on eggshells you cant not be Duke Nukem, but you cant make the wrong move so Im what a blessing to be attached to that, a name like that, and I just hope development does the franchise justice.
he shouldn't be stupid that's for sure...he should just not listen to what others say and have his way handling thingsOk doesnt sound like a sure thing but I really hope Cena stays because he would be perfect.
I dont think you need the misogyny so much unless hes constantly getting his ass kicked by bad ass women. He should be a ladies man who isnt too much of an idiot and also gets his ass kicked by bad ass women
