| I didn't go see Alone in the dark on opening weekend because I didn't want to see it alone in the dark... *rimshot* yea corny I know.
Anyways, yea Uwe Boll directed this. I have not seen a single one of his movies, I also have not had my testicles crushed in a vice. I don't think I need to experienc either firsthand to confirm the rumors.
Unfortunately, there isn't much to stop him from making more movies. He has some financial fund through investors in his native country that allows him to goto the video game companies, who have little to no experience with the movie industry, and offer them deals that have a minimum of fuss compared to a normal hollywood studio. It's like 'here's some money, we can start shooting in 2 months.. or you can wait a year for Miramax to get around to working on it'. Since his horrible movies are getting shot with a relatively low budget, they are still breaking even when overseas money and rentals get factored in. So, the investors aren't upset.
Luckily, some of the smarter game companies are seeing the bad press in the geek community, and are starting to reject Uwe Boll's offers. Blood Rayne was not one of them.. |
