Uwe Boll Will Quit Making Movies with One Million Signatures

Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have a chance to rid the cinematic world of a cancer. Uwe Boll, the German director behind such horrid video game adaptations as House (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/06/uwe-boll-will-quit-making-movies-with-one-million-signatures/#) of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies (http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/04/06/uwe-boll-will-quit-making-movies-with-one-million-signatures/#) if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet (http://www.fearnet.com/MCNewsDetailPage.aspx?catid=30&mid=13788) mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that “18,000 is not enough to convince me.” So how much would be enough?
Indeed, now we have a goal. All we need is 980,000 more signatures on this petition and we can rid the world of future Boll-directed/produced cinematic atrocities. as my friend Scott Weinberg on Cinematical (http://www.cinematical.com/2008/04/06/one-million-signatures-and-uwe-boll-will-quit-making-movies/) points out, Tunnel Rats, Far Cry, Zombie Massacre and BloodRayne 3 are already in production. So we might not be able to stop those productions. Be we just might have the ability to prevent a BloodRayne 4 or House of the Dead 3. So sign now!

I doubt it but we can hope.

Can we hold him to it?

Another attempt at empty publicity for this psychotically self-absorbed attention whore.

Why waste time collecting one million signatures when we can get the same result with one bullet?

[Katsumara]

He'll probably make a movie about this.


And you know... it'll suck.

[Hanshotfirst113]

You know, I've never seen an Uwe Boll movie.

[Wonderwall]

You know, I've never seen an Uwe Boll movie.

Neither have I, however someone once gave me the link to what is supposedly the best scene from House of the Dead. And if thats the best he could do...then yea Im glad Ive never seen his movies.

Neither have I. It just I hear bad things about it, and the fact that I haven't played any of the game Boll made into movies, with the exception of "House of the Dead" series, isn't something that makes me want to go see it anyways. Sure having a game based on a movie is bad due to it being a rushed project to meet deadline, but a movie based on a game is either a hit or miss, but mostly a miss, and a big "screw you" to the fan of the franchise.

so true

[Movie06]

Is he (Boll) serious?

[Charlie]

Internet petition? Why thats just crazy enough to work!

[Darklordavaitor]

But without Uwe Boll making crappy movies, Seanbaby will have to rely on praising Jean Claude Van Dam and making New Kids on te Block cracks to make us laugh.

[Draft]

It's at 65K signatures, up about 50K from when an interview was rleased about him talking about it a couple weeks or so back

Uwe Boll responds to petition (http://kotaku.com/377605/uwe-boll-responds-to-million-man-petition-look-im-not-a-****ing-retard) :D .

I love how delusional he is that his movie Postal is going to be better than anything in the last 10 years.

Out of sheer curiosity, I saw a clip of the movie on YouTube, supposedly the big finale, and it wasn't good. The part when one person, out of NOWHERE, starts to reminisce about past events during the shootout was incredibly stupid. I was laughing more than being frightened, something not required when seeing a supposed "horror" film.

The guy gets too much flak. At least he's improving somewhat as a filmamaker with each movie(not much but still). Plus their are much worse directors out their then him still making movies (see Lenzi, Umberto)

Uwe Boll gives another response. (http://www.movieset.com/postal/news/uwe-boll-ebert):anime:

[mookie75]

My question is, if Uwe Boll went away, who would fill the void and take his place in the internet community as the worst director in the world?

Come on all you film majors, I know the answer is on the tip of your tongue. Just stop praising The Godfather and Citizen Kane for half a second and tell us. :p ;)

[PC!]

I don't get it. Is this guy really serious? Could any human being possibly be that delusional and conceded?

Seriously, I can't help but think he says all the things he does just to be funny. It just seems so much like an act.
