plot summary

Rumour has it that Dolph has signed on to star in the movie version of this popular computer game, playing the army action-guy who must stop an evil half-robotic-faced Doctor and his goons. (although Apogee states that they "can not confirm that.")

I am NOT SURE that Lundgren has really been involved in it.

"Joe Siegler of Apogee says that according to George Broussard "This Dolph Lundgren thing for a Duke Nukem movie is untrue. Nothing has been signed for a movie, and nothing has been cast." " from Blue's Note (August 1997)

Anyway apparently he won't do it, after the recent videogames adaptations Tomb Raider and the upcoming Resident Evil, the Duke Nukem project now seems to have re-entered in pre-production with an other actor.

This movie could have bring Dolph back to success and popularity, except that I wouldn't expect anything from the project in terms of screenplay or character development.
