Pardon my french, but they're seriously gonna let this asshole make another movie?
That his name was mentioned is already enough. The project will be a failure what ever if Boll is directing or not. It got Uwned. By Boll-ocks.Ausir said:Pardon my french, but they're seriously gonna let this asshole make another movie?
Boll's involvement has not been confirmed.
ShatteredJon said:Damn, and I was looking foward to the hilarious raping of the Fallout genre by someone who isn't serious about it. Has anyone seen Postal? Horrible movie, but it made me laugh consistently.
Well What should I say ... I have been forced to watch it by the girlfriend of a good friend I know. Well it marks you for life. That for sure. Thx god in the anonymity of the internet to admit such a thing is easier.ShatteredJon said:Well then! There is still hope in this jaded heart for something good/bad. Haven't seen the High School musicals, but having seen the South Park parody of it, I can imagine what kind of depredations the plot and settings will sink to.

The Uwe Boll, Guinevere Turner and Dan Clarke part of the newsbit is a joke, as is the Todd Howard quote.
However, the rest of it isn't. A movie called "Fallout" really is in development, the producers are Sriram Das, Ara Katz, and Art Spigel (responsible for Romero's Diary of the Dead), and the writers are Milton Hernandez and Andre Fonseca (both with no prior writing credits). The companies producing it are Das Films and Artfire. The IMDb Pro plot summary is "In a post-apocalyptic world, three friends struggle to survive."
No director was announced.
It isn't officially announced as being related to the Fallout games, but I recall Briosafreak posting about Bethesda registering the rights to Fallout movie title some time back, and any post-nuclear project using the name without the license would likely be met with a lawsuit from Bethesda. Make what you want out of it.
IMO it wasn't so bad. It's not The Godfather or something like that, but i think it's a fine (not great) addition to the zombie genre, which i'm particulary fond of.GarfunkeL said:Romero's Diary of the Dead was a horrible, horrible Blair Witch Project-style zombie flick with a plot full of giant holes and over-the-top teenager acting. I've only seen House of the Dead and Alone in the Dark from Uwe Boll but all three movies are pretty much on the same level.
So we're screwed anyway.
Public said:Cool, if Germany wants to have Uwe Boll as its "iconic figure", they should build a statue for him. Or a monument like the Lincoln Memorial in DC.
