What part of sucks ass doesn't Uwe Boll understand?

    Bloodrayne: The Movie, don't get confused when the movie is set over two centuries before the protagonist is even born.

    Yet another movie from Boll that has nothing to do with the original game it was "based" on, well I should say that it is loosely based since the similarities end with the title and few character names.

    Funny thing is that usually if you lose around 10 million dollars you don't get to make another movie, but Uwe Boll is magically again in the directors seat, making anther horrible movie and he is booked for many more movies.

    Where does this guy get his money?

    I read an article a while ago about whoever funds him, will stop if this movie also sucks. Not sure though, since I read it a long while ago. But we can only hope

    In his interview at IGN, he keeps talking about "knight film" when he refers to Bloodrayne. Not having played Bloodrayne I don't know how this fits in, but I heard that the movie is based on 17th century and there are no Nazis what so ever, and everything is just way off.

    But I'm glad that Uwe didn't get the Hitman rights.

    Oh yes, he has expressed lots of interest in the Hitman games, and has been crawling all over the movie rights, fortunatly without any luck.

    Dont worry though, after the FarCry movie (looks at Frie) he'll probably wind down and stop making movies.

    i personally believe all the bad movies based on video games are failures of will: the movie makers simply did not have the will to make a good movie, for whatever reason. As this thread reveals, it seems very likely that Uwe Boll actively has the will to create bad movies.

    Someday, someone is going to make a movie based on a video game and it is going to be awesome.

    FFVII: Advent Children was pretty awesome, though probably doesn't really count given it's reliance on experience of the game to be truly enjoyable.

    The House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark and Bloodrayne (post-production) so far, but he has the rights for Farcry, Hunter: The Reckoning, Dungeon Siege (also in the makes), Postal and Fear Effect.

    He is trying hard to get Half-Life and MGS rights like Dude said.

    please God, no.

    Something tells me Valve and ...whoever makes MGS... should be smarterer than that to let him get the rights to some of the biggest bestest games everarr.

    He's simply an untalented amateur who might have fun as hell while nonstop producing crap, but he's wasting valuable rights and soils german film-maker's reputation. He's a fucking idiot tbh.

    I'm of two minds.

    1) Uwe Boll is extremely good at getting money together to make and distribute video game movies as a viable form of cinema. This is good.

    2) As a writer/director he's the most vile and awful force working in film today. This is bad.

    So I think if he put his mind towards securing funds for talented writers and directors to make video game movies we could have the best of both worlds.

    But really that probably won't happen.

    I watched the trailer for Bloodrayne, and lo and behold it actually looks like a normal movie! I'm many steps from saying good, but it didn't look "OMFG WTF LOL!" from the trailer alone, and that's a step in the right direction for good old Mr.Boll!

    Actually, there is a trick.

    Movie industry isn't just something that produces movies all day long, it is actually venerable marketting force. When movie is done, no matter how bad it sucks ass, the army of poster makers, trailer editors and website monkeys put the movie out and project it to consumers minds.

    As traditionally educated advertising graphic designer I understand things working background, and it is actually neat how these people make everything look so very cool.

    I have learned not to trust what I see in trailers, posters or websites, as it is usually misleading.
