Title: Stop Uwe Boll Petition
Post by: ToniaNVR on April 08, 2008, 04:30:19 pm: Quote
To: Dr. Uwe Boll

We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that Uwe Boll give proper weight to the wishes of the video game community, the horror community, and the film going community in general and stop directing, producing, or taking any part in the creation of feature films. His distasteful handling of the subject matter and lack of acknowledgement of his failures simply cannot be abided any longer.

Mr. Boll has repeatedly shown a complete lack of comprehension regarding the videogames he has dragged, kicking and screaming, to the silver screen and his ham-fisted approach to horror has soiled future possibilities for anyone else who may attempt to bring videogames to film.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

:ps: Uwe Boll said, that if 1 million people will sign such petition, he will stop making movies.

Also, I voted too... This is for making "in the name of the king" and that you're even thinking of making a FarCry movie.

Abraham for mayor :cowb:

When rumors surfaced that Boll had expressed interest in a Metal Gear Solid movie, and claimed to have been given a script to read, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima responded in his audioblog HIDECHAN, "Absolutely not! I don't know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this kind of thing. We've never talked to him. It's impossible that we'd ever do a movie with him."

Hahaha, Wow.

I hope he doesn't take interest in GTA. xD

That said, the voice actors wouldn't play the parts, clearly, so it wouldn't have the same characters (unless you only ever heard the voice, say on the phone).
