Karl Urban (who?) to star as lead in DOOM movie

While rumors once swirled that the Rock was set to star in Universal's DOOM adaptation, that myth was dispelled some time ago.  Now it seems that Karl Urban—we'll explain who is in a moment—has accepted the role. If you're a fan of the LOTR movies, you might recognize him as Eomer, the spirited prince of Rohan, but more recently he's popped up in the Bourne Supremacy and, dare we mention, The Chronicles of Riddick. Instead of playing a nameless space marine, Urban will star as John Grimm, the leader of a special ops team, and at some point, will "cross paths with the organization responsible for his parents' deaths." Oh boy, let's just hope Mr. Urban has made a positive career choice...
