Beyond all reason, Uwe Boll lines up another filmic abortion.

    He also has his hands on Far Cry, Fear Effect and Hunter: The Reckoning, and is in post production with Blood Rayne. I swear to Christ, this guy accidently subscribed to PC Gamer instead of Variety.

    Indeed, anyone who follows Uwe Boll's exploits is aware of those, but Dungeon Seige is next up on the chopping board.

    I wouldn't mind, but for someone of his ability he has managed to get a nearly half-decent cast together. He also seems to have found his acting counter-part in Brian J. White, who is "starring" in this, DOA: Dead or Alive and Tekken. I didn't even know there were movies of the last two announced...

    A Tekken film? Jesus christ, don't they realise that the peak of beat 'em up movie crossovers was reached with the release of Street Fighter: The Movie in 1994?

    Bah. These cretins know nothing.

    What I don't get, is how he's hired, given his amazing resume of past wonders such as Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead?

    I mean, honestly. One look at House of the Dead, a prime example of how a movie should NOT be made, and I wouldnt even entrust an add for toilet roll to him. Words cannot explain the puzzlement I feel when I view these movies, and realise that this man has a job in film making, and a good one at that, with more productions in the pipeline. How? HOW??

    I've honestly seen MUCH better films from the B-movie section of Chartbusters.

    Can you believe that Ben Kingsley and Michael Madsen both "star" in Bloodrayne? Boy, they must have really enjoyed working together in "Species" and couldnt wait to hook up again. Theres also reports that this turd wont even get a video/DVD release now, never mind see a cinema screen! Therefore I put to you, is Uwe Boll on a secret mission to single-handedly DESTROY FILM ITSELF?!?!

    From wikipedia

    While under normal circumstances a director's movies could gross so little he's eventually shut out from every operating studio, Boll is exempt because he funds them under a loophole in German tax law that is supported by contributors and actually rewards movies that perform badly, via a writeoff at the end of the year.

    It's "The Producers" Only for real.

    Man, since House of the Dead I shudder whenever I hear the guy's name. I have no idea what Dungeon Siege is, but I'm gonna hazard a guess and say it will suck too!
