The Masters of Doom TV series, which was announced to be in development by James and Dave Franco’s production company Ramona Films back in June, has officially found its Johns – which is to say that its John Carmack and John Romero have now been cast.
Masters of Doom is an an adaptation of author David Kushner’s well-regarded 2003 biography of the same name, which charts the founding of id Software and its journey toward creating Doom, one of the most influential games of all time.
The TV show is being written and executive produced by Tom Bissell, who not only co-wrote the book The Disaster Artist (which told the story of cult movie The Room and is now an award-winning movie), but also has writing credits on the likes of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Gears 5, and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
