I caught this snippet of news over at Eurogamer and was shocked that Uwe Boll was still being associated with projects considering his name is against so many at the moment, and especially for videogames. Have a look at his IMDB list:
Far Cry (2006) (announced)
Fear Effect (2006) (announced)
Hunter: The Reckoning (2006) (announced)
Night Claws (2005) (announced)
Dungeon Siege (2006) (pre-production)
Bloodrayne (2005) (post-production)Alone in the Dark (2005)
House of the Dead (2003)
There’s his videogame directorial list, although I’m not sure if Night Claws is a videogame adaptation, but still he’s got a lot on his plate, so it’s a real surprise to hear that his name is being touted against a film version of the game Postal.
Legendary German director Uwe Boll is in the running to pick up the movie rights to Running With Scissors’ equally legendary PC first-person shooter title Postal, according to a report on movie website Dark Horizons.
By “legendary”, of course, we mean “rubbish” – and you can also safely assume that by “director” we mean “talentless mentalist”. You could probably also swap out “PC first-person shooter” for “experience on a par with driving nails through your own soft body parts”, if you’re really keen on the truth.
Boll’s special hobby is torturing game fans… He’s also just finished filming a BloodRayne movie and is gearing up to thrust his creative talent into the quivering flesh of the Dungeon Siege franchise. Be afraid.
Postal, though, we can honestly say we don’t care about, since it’s just as rubbish and pointless as any of Boll’s films.
I do like their writing style over there, big nod. Is anyone a fan of Postal and concerned about what could happen to this game? (I suspect there won’t be many) More to the point aren’t you concerned Boll is still filmmaking?
