Video game —> Movie often equals horrible consequences. Street Fighter, Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros, anything with Uwe Boll’s name on it. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Hit the jump for all the current movies that are slated to be made from gaming. Of course, a good portion of these won’t be made and a good portion that are made will be fucking awful. Which ones are you guys excited about and which ones are you hoping do not get green-lit?
There is talk that Uwe Boll is going to make a Contra Movie. Please hold on while we all shit our pants with excitement. That being said, some creative minds have made what they think the trailer will look like. Well, it looks better than Postal.
This is the first game from Oscar winning director Uwe Boll. Wait, he didn’t win an Oscar. Oh. That’s right, Dungeon Siege got beat out by The Departed. Anyhow, here is the trailer from his new game which I think is a Vietnam era shooter. It looks, well, you decide for yourself on this one.
It took 10 minutes of Postal, the latest film from Uwe Boll to make 200 people walk out. The viewing was free. The reason? The first scene depicts terrorists high-jacking planes who decide to fore-go crashing into the World Trade Center and make for the Bahamas instead. The unaware passengers rush the cockpit and then the planes crash into the WTC thus making it the passengers fault for the death of thousands.
I actually felt sorry for Uwe Boll the other day when I read his interview. I felt maybe he was getting a raw deal. Now this. I have no problem with over the top humor but trivializing the death of thousands of innocent people for some shock factor in a movie? The man just committed career suicide. No theater in NYC will ever show his movies again. No actor in their right mind would go near this ethnocentrist. Its one thing to make shitty movies, that’s your prerogative. Make light of the death of several of my friends who passed away that day? Mr. Boll, people will be lining up to box you now. I would maybe challenge some of the guys down at the FDNY in Midtown Manhattan. I hear they are a little tougher than Michael Bay.
Oh jesus, God, no. Its the end of the world…of Warcraft. Uwe Boll should be called King Feces. Everything he touches turns to doody. The oft-maligned movie director turned self-defined genius has asked Blizzard to sell the rights to his company so he can make the first WoW movie. Blizzard responded, ever so politely:
We will not sell the movie rights, not to you… especially not to you.
And like that, Azeroth was saved. To be honest, it was never in any real danger. Do you really think they would undercut themselves and sell the beloved franchise to perhaps the most hated director in the gaming world to make a movie about a game? No, me neither. Its just funny to see someone get that soundly rejected.
Do you want Uwe Boll to stop making giant debacles of video game movies? He’s already ruined such franchise as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, with even more massacres in production.
FEARnet brought up an online petition to Uwe Boll during a recent interview where 18,000 people have signed up asking for Boll to stop directing movies altogether. Uwe shrugged it off, saying that’s not enough people. How many is? One million. Yep, a whole million people need to sign a petition and Uwe Boll will crawl back behind a rock.
I don’t know about you, but I’m all for this. So go sign the petition and let’s get some decent video game movies out there.
Coming Soon!
