Uwe Boll got a reputation of repeatedly violating video games and putting the results of his efforts on screen, then he did Postal and got quiet. Which is a big accomplishment for the man who shoots off his mouth making him the most entertaining director, even if his films were not.
But he got quiet because apparently he was making movies. Go figure.
First we have Dafur:
Since 2003 the crisis in Darfur has claimed the lives of over 300,000 civilians. 2.8 million Darfuri have been displaced within Sudan. The Janjaweed Militiy and Sudanese Government Forces have been responsible for the majority of the rape, torture and murder. 3.8 million people are dependent on international humanitarian aid. One half of these people are beyond the reach of such help.
In 2009 a group of international Journalists visited a village in the Darfur region under the protection of the African Union (AU). They were never the same again.
And then The Storm:
A stranger named Silas (Luke Perry) flees from a devastating storm and finds refuge with Tom (Steve Bacic) and Gillian (Lauren Holly) on their farm. While struggling with the Storm, Silas seems to be the only one who can help Tom and Gillian to find their son but there are other more dangerous forces out there, that are waiting for the three.
One very serious film, and one semiserious postapocalyptic film. And no distributor.
Are you looking forward to seeing either of these? Does Boll Directing make you curious if it could be good, or does it dampen your anticipation?
