Uwe Boll Spills His Guts

Posted by Zonk on from the terrible-movies-off-the-port-bow dept.

Kimi writes "Love him or hate him, it's always entertaining to read about Uwe Boll, especially with his latest movie Bloodrayne due to be released shortly. 1UP has an interview with the man himself to find out just what he is up to." From the article: "Let's drop the bombshell before we move on: Rumors were flying this summer that Boll had picked up the rights to the controversial first-person-shooter Postal franchise, but developer Running With Scissors quickly debunked the speculation. In talking with Boll, we asked him about his interest in Postal and - lo and behold - were told he's currently in negotiations for the rights to the series, and expects to start shooting Postal sometime next year. Additionally, he'll be writing the script hand-in-hand with the game designers, a first for him and video game movies. It should be interesting to see how Boll handles a game whose gameplay revolves around pure shock value." Good to see we can expect more quality cinema in the future.

  1. Tara Reid in Alone in the dark by rAiNsT0rm · · Score: 3, Informative

    Simply THE WORST excuse for an actress was plain to see in Alone in the Dark. I never have been so amazed at poor acting that made it into a big budget film. Thank God even Uwe had the stones to say it was one of the worst performances ever in his interview. I just can't agree with him on his skills or the "quality" of his movies.

    Alone in the Dark was abysmal, yet he continually tries to stick up fo rit and claim it was poorly promoted. Sorry, promotion was the least of your concerns here.

    He is unappologetic and filled with excuses for his work. I found the interview to be a wash and did nothing in my eyes to help his case.
