Uwe Boll Returns To Small-Time Terrible Films

SatanicPuppy writes "According to Reuters Uwe Boll, the German director the critics love to hate, will return to low-budget filmmaking now that his latest and biggest production, the $70 million fantasy epic 'In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale,' bombed at the North American box office. The tax shelter loopholes that funded the previous films have been banned in Germany, making further large budget films unlikely."

    Taxes stopped Uwe Boll. Taxes stopped Al Capone. Is there anything taxes can't do? Actually, is there anything that can do my taxes?

    how about making a game where you are Uwe Boll and you have to make terrible movies about games.
    It could be a MMORPG (since they are all the hype now) where you get a quest, kill a few hundred of scripts, find a game, steal the funding from some old lady orc and then you join all the ingredients in a smithy thing to create the movie. The worst the movie the more XP you get.
    Could be UwerQuest or something.
    Then I can already picture Uwe making a movie out of this game with some fantastic title like The Creation of a Dynasty: a UwerQuest.

    Bah, better get back to working.
