Uwe Boll on Far Cry movie and other future projects |
Ó
Uwe Boll is pretty much known within the gaming community. One of the things this director is famous for is his knack for taking video games and transforming them into big screen hits. He's sometimes viewed as a renegade because he receives funding not from Hollywood studios but from, where else, videogame publishers. Not to mention that he sometimes get them from his own pocket as well.Anyway, 2006 had been a busy year for the director but things are just about to get better. Especially now that the triumvirate of next-gen gaming is already out, we can expect more projects from Boll. But before he takes on other game franchises, the director fondly talks about BloodRayne. He mentioned:
If this sequel can match what the first film did on DVD, then there will definitely be a third movie. I like the franchise. The third one will be in the Second World War where the first game was based. We'll likely film it in Eastern Europe to recreate those old German cities during WWII.
Aside from the previously mentioned Postal movie, Boll reminded everyone that he will make another based on Wii title Far Cry: Vengeance. The film will have a US$ 30 to US$ 40 million budget and will be filmed in Hawaii this May. Ubisoft, as of this point, has promised to help with the film's finances. Boll, on the other hand, couldn't hide his enthusiasm:
Every other game I did so far, the game makers were happy I did a movie to support their franchise. Ubisoft wants me to make a good movie because this is already a big franchise for them and they want to keep it going. I think they will be more involved in the whole process than the other companies before.
Furthermore, Boll hinted that the game would be released some time in 2008 alongside a sequel of the game. Finally, the German director disclosed that he passed the movie Alone in the Dark II to his writers.

" this director is famous for is his knack for taking video games and transforming them into big screen hits" more like is famous for his knack to destroy video game based movies, just like every other director who has tried and failed.
The only 'video game' movie ive ever actually liked is 'Super Mario Brothers', despite the fact it has nothing to do with the series. If you watch it and pretend thats not the famous plumbers, its actually rather amusing.
Big Hit?
they were big 'flop' !
STOP HIM!
Please Uwe let real directors doing real films
Please stop mutilating our legend
And please yes get out of here !
You got no more then 20 mins into Bloodrayne and forgot the fact the tits where suppose to keep you watching that filth too?
Big screen hits. you could put a vid of a guy punching a dead dog in the face for 2 and a half hours and that would make more the one of his alleged "movies"
Somebody kill this man!
"...taking video games and transforming them into big screen hits."
-What the hell are you smoking? Uwe "Boll*****" destroys everything he touches.
