Take that! Uwe Boll charged with libel, to pay US$ 2.1-million fine |
Ó
Biting the hand that feeds you gets you slapped back with bad karma. In this case, karma comes in the form of a US$ 2.1 million fine - and as a judge ruled this week, it's coming from Uwe Boll's pocket.After bad-mouthing Fantastic Films International - the very film distributor handling his movies - Uwe Boll is now facing a libel case, with a judge's ruling of a fine. The story goes that Boll was sending out emails to Fantastic Films' various clients, criticizing the company. Of course, upper management got wind, and slapped him with a case.
The amount of US$2.1 million includes the US$ 200,000 to be imparted to the Fantastic Films owner, Roxane Barbat.
Oh well, it's not an outright ban from making videogame movies, but I suppose a fine will do.

I heard he was filming in Vancouver a year ago and I am sure he has left already. No sign of it coming out yet?
now he needs to make more movies to pay the fine, if somebody will hire him....
DON'T WATCH FAR CRY THE MOVIE!
IT SUCKS!
TRUST ME!
I saw it here in Germany and trust me, it really sucks.
I loved what Uwe Boll did with Postal, that movie was awesome, but Far Cry was a waste of money.
Honestly.
And I love bad movies, but this one is just worse...
as are most of his movies, dude...
My kids just read the word b****ocks on your image, and now they are saying it. It is a swear word in england, and I would encourage you QJ guys not to display offensive wording in such a carefree manner.
That would solve your problem.
First Jack Thompson gets the axe, and now Uwe Boll gets a fine? It's been a good year for gaming justice.
