Uwe will not believe the list of stars associated with Uwe Boll‘s latest epic Dungeon Seige, from Coming Soon:
Jason Statham and Leelee Sobieski are set to headline the cast of director Uwe Boll’s $60 million adaptation of the sword-and-sorcery video game Dungeon Siege, which begins filming Sunday in Vancouver until mid-September.
The Hollywood Reporter says Statham (The Transporter, Cellular) plays the film’s hero, Farmer, and Sobieski (Eyes Wide Shut, Max) has been cast as Muriella, daughter of the court sorcerer Merrick (John Rhys Davies of “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy).
Also starring are Ron Perlman…Matthew Lillard…Burt Reynolds…and Kristanna Loken…
Quite frankly I find no excitement for this movie despite the big-ish cast, I just see it stamped with another poor Boll movie mark. What do you think, is there a way he could actually compete with the likes of the great run of comic adaptations? Could videogame adaptations ever compete with them, or do the comics just have more of a head start, or more serious backing?
