Not sure there's enough drama to really make this a good movie. There is some drama and bickering and Romero leaving when he got bored but that's about it.

- mhomde 12y agoAre you kidding?? :) The two John' starting out as friends. Chaos Romero vs order Carmar. The rise of a small indie developer to super stardom. The ensuing split with Romero going full hubris with Ion Storm (Heck with the amount of drama and dirt available a movie on ion storm alone would make a great movie). Scenes with an battle axe breaching an office door, a gamer winning a ferrari. An underlying theme of "everyone's expendable". It would make for one epic movie in the right hands.
- myth_buster 12y agoYeah, they did a good job with Indie Game: The Movie [0] with an order of magnitude less drama. [0] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1942884/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1942884/

- anaphor 12y agoIf The Social Network is a movie then I don't see why the story of Id Software couldn't be a movie.
- sumedh 12y agoMark Zuckerberg is a household name, nobody knows Carmack outside the tech circles. They would have a tough time marketing the movie.
- current_call 12y agoI don't buy that. They managed it with Turing, didn't they?
- scintill76 12y agoWell, Turing can be turned into a martyr for gay rights (as I understand they've done with the movie, which I haven't seen). I guess that's a lot "cooler" than anything about Carmack, at least AFAIK.
- anaphor 12y agoYou're right, but lots of people know about DOOM and Quake right?
