ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Just thought I'd torture you with the thought of Uwe Bol making a movie of postal the game. He's currently in negotiations for the rights. Which makes you wonder... I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
SteveThaiBinh Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 There's a lot of good publicity from a well-written press release, but will the movie actually be made? Perhaps. Will it be watched? Not by me. By the way, should I know who Uwe Bol is? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Baley Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Uwe Boll is the worst director EVER! He brought us glorious jewels like: Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead... More info on him at IMDB # Far Cry (2006) # Hunter: The Reckoning (2006) # Dungeon Siege (2006) (pre-production) # Bloodrayne (2005) (post-production) See that? More movies based on films that will likely suck major donkey balls...

Or maybe, he's the only director anyone can persuade to take them on? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Musopticon? Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 No matter what the premise or the movies, there's going to be vampirenazicommandodemons from Mars at the end. Also the main character is probably a brooding youngster with a dark past who discovers that she/he's a mutant/half-demon/vampire/the chosen one/etc. The penultimate fight will be in slow motion while there's video game sounds playing in the background. All hail Uwe. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Darth Flatus Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 If they arent out yet it doesnt mean they'll ever see the light of day
Oerwinde Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Uwe Boll needs to stop directing and just produce. He's an amazing deal-maker. How else could he get all those properties with all the crap he's done before. On a side note, I went to school with someone who was in Alone in the Dark :D The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
Gorth Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 The guy definitely got some kind of talent :D Two movies who are #37 & #38 on the top 100 bottom list (Alone in the Dark & House of the Dead) “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Drakron Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 In his defence its not like any of those games are much good in terms of storyline. I do find odd Hunter:The Reckoning since that was based in White Wolf World of Darkness and it would be more popular doing a Vampire movie.
metadigital Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Uwe Bol sounds like a contemporary version of Ed Wood. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
SteveThaiBinh Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 That's what I thought, but if he's only at no. 37 in the all time worst movie list, then he's just an Ed Wood wannabe. Let him make Tetris: The Movie, and we'll see. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

Meshugger Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Uwe Bol sounds like a contemporary version of Ed Wood. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Heh, you beat me to it.

Calax Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 i think hunter is better, their is too many vampire movies already...... I wish they would give the resident evil director the movies hes actually fair.... Geroge lucas needs to do the same thing about directing and become a full time producer, look at what he's produced, theyve all been majorly acclaimed titles while his directorship has been yelled at on almost all his movies. Most people assume he directed ROtJ and ESB but he didn't he just produced and wrote them (his writing could use a little work too) but he has good ideas at least Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Darque Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 /sigh I happen to like the Bloodrayne games... so Uwe Boll making a Bloodrayne movie pisses me off to no end.
taks Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 i'm only curious as to why anyone cares? i mean, let's be real... if he's that bad, ignore him, and don't watch his movies. pretty simple. taks comrade taks... just because.

The problem is that if you like these games (and apparently some of them do have decent stories), and you think they might make good movies, then the fact that some rubbish director is cornering the market as the only producer/director who turns games into movies, that's a problem. I notice that games are finding it easier to get serious/famous actors to do voice-overs - maybe it's only a matter of time before the directors follow.

For example "The King And I" has been made about seven times (and some of them were pretty ropey). There was a animated film of the LotR (and the producer still believes he has sole film rights) before PJ did his magnum opus. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
taks Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 it was live-action animated, actually, which means they painted over actors (for many large scale scenes, like battles) and quite frankly, sucked donkey nuggets. ugh. taks comrade taks... just because.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted June 17, 2005 Author Posted June 17, 2005 I watched that once when I was ten and the chirpy theme music was so irritating that I can still remember it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've still got the grenadier minatures of the fellowship and badguys which were based on the animated LOTR I've never watched a Uwe Boll film (or even seen one available) but I feel I should just so I can experience the true horror. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
