How deluded is Uwe Boll?

[TheCrow 0]

Ryan Izay - "Were there any other actors you were considering for any of the main three roles?"

Uwe Boll - "Christian Bale was originally in the run for Slater’s part. He was interested, but we felt that Bale is a really good actor, and I really like him, but with him the movie would be very in his character sense, driven. I liked it to have Edward Carnby also clever. That he’s not only straight and hard and dark."

That quote was taken from an interview with Uwe Boll, which can be found here.

"Boll: No I don't want good actors...that may create a redeeming quality in my movies. I want sucky or mediocre actors who don't fit that parts."

OMFG... Christian Bale doesn't look and can't play clever? That's what Boll just said and that's an unsult. Bale is one of the best actors working today. Man, this guy is a comic genius and he doesn't even know it. It's cool that there are people out there who are wanting to make movies based on video games and not be put off by bad projects in the past but Uwe Boll should just stop making movies altogether - even his own home movies! He is seriously deluded and should just stop.

There are so many things I can say about him...I've vented enough anger towards him. Although I hate him more than you know, I'm not gonna bash him again

Here's a link to another thread I made one of his aboniations...

Boll sucks. House of the Dead sucked. Alone in the Dark was pretty good, but could have been better. Bloodrayne might be good, but probably not. heres to the suckiest and most unoriginal director out there.

Its quite amusing, whenever I see his name I always read "the uwebolla virus"

Can't you just picture the set of his next movie, where the people involved have to wear those safe anti-toxic suits from outbreak..... because his ideas are that bad.....

[Shakezulah 2]

I can't imagine how bad he is going to screw up Hunter the Reckoning. Who in the hell would give him rights to those games? Those games are instant classics and hes gonna end up making them them about exactly the same as House of the Dead. i will gouge my eyes of my head with a rusty old spoon if he does that.

Its Official Bloodrayne sucks

BLOODRAYNE is a waste of time and talent and money. I found it to be a degree or two better than ALONE IN THE DARK – but that’s like smelling your sh!t 3 days in a row and saying on the third day, “Ya know, I think this smells a little better than yesterday’s.” It’s still sh!t.

What is Uwe Boll like? Well, at the screening last night he was charming, warm, funny, frank and hilarious. But then, I've often held that really bad filmmakers had to be charming as hell, otherwise, how could they get the money with which to victimize audiences?

lol I thought he would be an ass in person!

In Uwe’s film, there’s certainly blood – and tits. He actually hired real Romanian Mafia owned “whores” for this decadent scene involving Meatloaf’s character. “They were better than actors.

I guess its worth the rent or wait till it gets on cable!

The article is way to long to post here is the link, source.

Well, if it's better than Alone in the Dark, I'll probably find it entertaining, since I enjoyed AitD to some extent ( just a little bit). I already know there will be horrid acting and cheesy lines and effects(maybe. the AitD creatures were pretty cool), but as long as there is plenty of action and blood and guts, I'll probably like it somewhat.

Btw, when the hell is this movie supposta come out? It's been being pushed back for months now.

House of the Dead has to be the worst film I have ever seen. Is he intentionally trying to give the audience a seizure with his fast edits and mock bullet time action sequences? After watching that movie, I've decided I'm never gonna watch another Uwe Boll film ever again. Holy s**t, that movie SUCKED!!! I've read that he wants to make a Metal Gear Solid movie. I'm sure he won't get the rights to it, due to his reputation. But, if he does I'm gonna kill myself.

Bloodrayne is going to be abysmal, and I like she-vampire Nazi hunters as much as anyone. I mean, my God, look at the poster.

http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0383222/Ss/...ath_key=0383222

She looks about as deadly-assassin as Tara Reid.

[Super Pancake 1]

She looks alright to me! But not very intimidating maybe its the red hair!

She just looks pudgy. And I don't mean she looks fat, just absolutely no muscle definition. She looks like a a regular chick with bad posture in an uncomfortable outfit. Very lame. And Michael Madsen behind her... Christ.

[Shakezulah 2]

I watched a few clips of the movie today on Yahoo, and honestly, they weren't too bad. Of course the movie will be cheesy, but the clips were pretty cool. I mean, I'm not expecting this movie to be great or anything, but it should be enjoyable at least a little bit if you know what you're going into.

Well I've seen better bloodrayne posters and I always thought Rayn was anorexic (in the game)

[PadawanOsswe 1]

though I have not seen any Uwe Boll films I have read enough about him to know that he's an idiot in the art.

--------------------------------------------------

-he will continue filming even if he doesnt have a script: WTF?

he once filmed half of a movie without the use of his script. old Uwe should have remembered the old saying "if it aint on the page, it aint on the stage".

-insulting the actors: BAD move.

-saying that you should hire bad actors: WTF? its quite the opposite.

---------------------------------------------------

this guy is clearly a dumbass that needs to be banned from hollywood.

his distributors should be shot!

as well as his investors for giving him the money to make his waste of precious 35 mm film.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAhahahah ha ha ha ive laughed so hard my eyes are watering!

Oh my god that's funny... and true.

Uwe Boll seriously needs to stop making films. If he really feels the need to make films then atleast go back to germany and make low budget porn...

And no he will not get his hands on Metal Gear Solid, the studio aren't stupid enough to give him the rights.

Next up he is doing Dungeon Seige and then he will do Far Cry, Postal, Hunter: The Reckoning and Fear Effect. How the hell do you make a film out of Postal!?

Atleast he is writing Dungeon Siege though but how the hell has he got the actors he has!?

Jason Statham, Burt Reynolds, Mathew Lilard, Leelee Sobieski, Ron Pearlman, Ray Liotta!!

This guy seriously must have made a pact with the devil to a) keep getting funding and work and be able to get actors of that quality... I mean sure they're not Christian Bale level but they're all above a Uwe Boll film... oh well... Sods Law I guess?...

[Super Pancake 1]

Actually I did an adaptation of Postal for fun I think I throw it away but my mentor loved it, thought it was good stuff. It was more like the movie Falling Down except my character was an angry black over worked college student from NYU who snapped whens some thugs rob him. And goes on a rampage in NYC through out the night killing rich white womens little racist dogs, beating up policemen, vadalism, stealing n trashing cars, and scaring people in the subway.

Maybe I should rewrite it and convince studios even I am better then Boll.

[PadawanOsswe 1]

PONG: THE MOVIE!

this guy is a rampaging lunatic that has to make a movie out of every damn video game. PLEASE MR. BOLL! YOU ARE AN AWFUL FILMMAKER, PLEASE STOP!!!!

[PadawanOsswe 1]

EVERYONE WHO HATES UWE BOLL PUT THIS LINE IN YOUR SIG!

"Uwe Boll spelled backwards is Satan"

[Super Pancake 1]

Wow man you must hate him how many movies did you have to watch to realize he is not that good of a director.

he recently came out and said he might stop making movies based on video games becuase so many people bash him. But he made a point that people bash him with out ever seeing one of his movies. and he is right i remember like in the middle of production of blood Rayne on IMDB they already had negative comments on it. Its nor fair to him as a director i guess the Imdb ratiing would have been a little better.

I only saw House of the Dead and decided to watch his other movies on cable.
