James and Dave Franco to tell the story of video game Doom with USA's Masters of Doom pilot order

Deadline

The brothers are adapting David Kushner’s 2003 nonfiction book Masters of Doom, about "two computer geniuses in an obscure corner of America who, along with a group of rebellious misfits, created one of the biggest franchise hits of the 90s, the video game Doom." Masters of Doom, which will be written and executive produced by Tom Bissell, falls into USA’s wheelhouse of “heroes, rebels & icons."
