Uwe Boll Spills His Guts

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.

A virtual cornucopia of crap

Take a quick peak at the above and check out the upcoming releases for Uwe Boll. He has 6, yes 6, movies coming out in the next year or 2 (seven if you count the already released abomination "Alone in the Dark"). It doesn't take Steven Spielberg to figure out that if you direct 6 movies in 1.5 years, you're not exactly putting your heart into each project. Studios are simply just giving in every time they liscence a video game intellectual property and letting Boll churn out another putrid pile. The most surprising of these being Dungeon Siege and its relatively amazing cast. He has actual actors like Ray Liotta, and Leelee Sobieski, and I still doubt this movie with be watchable unless you are on at least a moderate amount of drugs. Movies such as these are supposed to cater to the tastes of our cultural niche and yet all they do is frustrate us by ruining that which we hold sacred.

Let us all just pray that Uwe Boll and the Halo movie project stay as far as from each other as humanly possible.

Boycott!

Let me explain something to you:
Do you know why video games, TV shows and novels get turned into such terrible movies?
It's because the film industry wants to punish you for spending your time and money on video games, TV shows and novels.
This really is once instance where it's not too hard to vote with your wallet. Frankly I don't want to see a single "Bloodrayne was really bad" comment on Slashdot. I want to see, "Oh, I don't know if it was any good or not - I don't watch Uwe Boll movies."
