Uwe Boll’s Far Cry Trailer: A Return to Form for Dr. Boll

18 November 2009 8:09 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

After seeing his latest film Rampage at Fantastic Fest just last month, we thought we'd seen a turning point for director Uwe Boll. Finally, the man had delivered a gritty, intense action movie that rose above his usual bit of schlock. For once, he had delivered something worth talking about in a positive way -- worth recommending to friends and countrymen. It had me excited to see where he would go next in his always-busy schedule of film releases. Which brings us to Far Cry, yet another adaptation of a popular video game. Like Boll's previous adaptations of games such as Bloodrayne, House of the Dead, Dungeon Siege and Postal, Far Cry appears to be a mess of the highest order. At least, that's what I've gathered from this first teaser trailer, which comes courtesy of IGN. Since his role in Inglourious Basterds, I've thought Til Schwiger to be one of the more badass actors in Hollywood »

Uwe Boll's 'Far Cry' - His best film? See the trailer for the actioner with Til Schweiger.

17 November 2009 11:33 PM, PST | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »

See the trailer for "Far Cry," starring Til Schwiger, Emmanuelle Vaugier, Natalie Aveon, Michael Paré, Craig Fairbrass, Udo Kier, Mike Dopud, Carrie Genzel, Anthony Bourdain, Ralf Moeller, Michael Teigen, D. Harlan Cutshall and Scott Cooper. Uwe Boll ("Bloodrayne," "In the Name of the King," "Alone in the Dark," "Postal") directs from the writing by Masaji Takei, Peter Scheerer and Michael Roesch. This sees DVD release via Vivendi Entertainment on November 24th and, in my opinion, looks way better than the rest of Boll's work. »

my week at the movies: ‘2012,’ ‘Women in Trouble,’ ‘The Strip,’ ‘A Single Man,’ ‘The Missing Person,’ ‘Nine,’ ‘Everybody’s Fine,’ ‘Serious Moonlight’

9 November 2009 1:02 PM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »

Woo-hoo! It’s the end of the world -- again -- as Roland Emmerich knows it, and I feel fine. Oh, there can be no question that this is crap, but will 2012 (opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on November 13) be glorious crap? I think it might be. I hope it might be. I’m dreading it, but I’m kinda looking forward to it, too. Does that make sense? I’m not particularly looking forward to the apparently sexist claptrap of Women in Trouble (opens in the U.S. on November 13; no U.K. release date has been announced), but I will delighted, as always, to be proven mistaken about the film. But then I’ll have to go off on a rant about misleading trailers... The Strip (opens in the U.S. on December 4; no U.K. release date has been announced) sounds like it might be more sexist claptrap, »

World's Worst Director is Back: Uwe Boll's 'Darfur'

4 November 2009 7:33 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

I would very much like to begin and program an Uwe Boll Film Festival. It would truly be one of a kind. BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, In the Name of the King, House of the Dead, Postal - how could you go wrong? On second thought, don't answer that.

Boll keeps working, though most of the universe is at a loss as to how. He has four films in production, and managed to work in four movies this year, too. All of this on the heels of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award from the Razzies, which is not the sort of thing you go to film school in hopes of attaining.

One of his many upcoming films is Darfur, which as you can imagine, is Uwe's sensitive, artistic interpretation of one of the worst genocides in modern civilization. Gee, I wonder if there will be blood. Actually, in the interest of fairness, »

First Trailer for Uwe Boll's Film About the Genocide in Darfur

2 November 2009 4:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Dr. Uwe Boll, the notorious filmmaker behind the likes of House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale, Alone in the Dark, and Postal, has made a film - a serious one - about the ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan. I imagine you're as surprised as everyone else.

I first heard about the film, titled simply Darfur, about a month ago at the Fantastic Fest Q&A for Boll's man-on-a-killing-spree movie Rampage. The director casually referred to the film as if it was no big deal, though it was obvious that everyone in the room was as stunned as I. When pressed for more information, Boll explained that he felt the world was turning a blind eye to the crimes against humanity that are committed daily in Darfur, and that as an artist, the »

Uwe Boll’s Rampage Isn’t Based On The Arcade Game. Go Figure.

6 October 2009 9:47 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

When a friend sent me a link to the trailer for Uwe Boll’s upcoming action flick “Rampage,” I was totally expecting to see a giant werewolf, an enormous gorilla, and a huge lizard savagely destroying several large cities across the United States. What I didn’t expect was a quasi-serious motion picture devoted to an angry, 20-something loser who decides to go on a trigger-happy killing spree. As far as I can tell from the trailer featured below, that’s all the film is about. Uwe Boll, in his infinite cinematic wisdom, has decided that explosions, wanton violence, and a high body count are more important that plotting or characterization. It’s kind of like “Postal,” except it’s dead serious and doesn’t feature Dave Foley’s naked dong. Even the IMDb synopsis is pretty thin. Take a look: A man with a thirst for revenge builds a »

Fantastic Fest Review: Rampage

5 October 2009 9:32 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

This is my first time reviewing a film directed by the notorious Uwe Boll (Bloodrayne, Postal), and I am a little disappointed. I'd always heard that Boll provides critics with wonderful opportunities to incorporate the most colorful derogatory phrases possible in reviews, perhaps even creating new metaphors specifically to describe the mediocrity of his films. I was ready to have fun after the movie, rather than while watching it. However, it turns out that Rampage, Boll's latest film, is not at all a bad film. In fact, many people may actually like it, as much as it's possible to like a film about a senseless massacre. What is this world coming to?

Rampage is about Bill (Brendan Fletcher), a college-age guy who's disgusted with everyone and everything around him, from his parents -- with whom he still lives -- to the barista who can't make Bill's favorite drink properly to incompetent fast-food workers. »

Is ‘Rampage’ Uwe Boll’s First Good Movie?

5 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

No you didn’t read the title wrong and no, Screen Rant isn’t pulling your chain. As I sit here in Hell putting on my winter parka, I find myself reading rumblings from the web that the most famous blind squirrel in Hollywood history may have actually found his nut. That’s right; it would appear that Uwe Boll (BloodRayne, House of the Dead) has actually made a Good movie with Rampage. So now we have to decide: is the world coming to an end or has the director actually found his stride?

Now, it would appear through word of mouth at Fantastic Fest that Uwe Boll’s latest offering, Rampage, is actually Good! Yeah, I know, pick your jaw up off the floor. Rampage stars Brendan Fletcher as a guy that gets fed up with his life, so he builds a suit made of Kevlar, stocks up on »

Fantastic Fest Review: Rampage - Uwe Boll Actually Made a Good Movie?!

30 September 2009 1:10 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Even a broken clock is right two times a day. And it was bound to happen eventually.... Uwe Boll has made a good movie. Not a great movie, but a decent film. Not just good in comparison to the rest of his filmography, but a good movie in its own right. Rampage isn't based on the 1986 Midway arcade video game, although you might assume so since Boll is involved in a lot of video game adaptations. Instead, Rampage is the movie that Postal should have been. It is Falling Down without the morals. Rampage is angry, sadistic, fun, yet disturbing. Brendan Fletcher plays Bill, a young man who plans possibly the biggest killing spree in history, gunning down innocent people in a small town. Unlike Falling Down, the film doesn't feature a bad guy and the good guy trying to stop him. Instead, we see the mass murder »

Children Love the Monster Mutt

21 September 2009 5:03 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

The kiddies need some family-friendly horror to sink their teeth into. Think of it as training wheels for future horror fans. That's where movies like Monster Mutt come in. The family friendly comedy follows the exploits of the family dog, Max, as an evil corporation tests their new energy drink on the lovable mutt. Max undergoes a monstrous transformation as the family tries to hold on to their beloved pet.

Monster Mutt co-stars the likes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"'s Juliet Landau, Postal's Zack Ward, and Kim Fields Aka "Tootie" from "The Facts of Life". Kim Fields - now there's a name I haven't heard in ages.

Todd Tucker (a co-producer of the Night of the Demons remake) directs the film for Green Pictures and Burnside Entertainment. Expect the monster dog effects to be solid considering they are being done by Oscar-winning FX house Drac Studios. You may »

L'etrange 09: Hell has frozen over! Pigs can fly! Glowing review of Rampage

8 September 2009 12:25 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Year: 2009

Directors: Uwe Boll

Writers:

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: The Crystal Ferret

Rating: 9 out of 10

This Sunday’s the fest was featuring a full night focus on the so called "Master of Error" the destroyer of worlds, the great demon in the videogame franchises, former boxer turned director, the one, the only, The Uwe Boll.

Personally I discovered Boll’s work with Postal, which I liked, it’s confused, stupid, gross, and completely inane just like the eponymous game so I never really understood all the hate flying around each time Boll’s name was mentioned somewhere. Therefore I went to the screening of Rampage, not expecting much, neither a breakthrough in art nor an utter and complete disaster. Rampage has a simple pitch: our hero, Bill gets fed up with the world, tries to clean it a little by getting a full body Kevlar suit and going »

Awesomely Awful - Uwe Boll's 'Rampage' Trailer

4 August 2009 5:06 PM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Uwe...Uwe...Uwe...Uwe - chant it with me - Uwe...Uwe...Uwe...

The world's worst filmmaker could very well be Uwe Boll. Of his 16 films, only three have an aggregate IMDb rating over 4 out of 10. The highest is Tunnel Rats with a whopping 4.3 out of ten. He has just as many below a 2. More than likely, his name means more to you than the movies: BloodRayne, Postal, In the Name of the King, and House of the Dead. Their reputations precede them.

Expect no love story or delicate character study here in his latest, a film called Rampage. It's about a guy who builds a kevlar suit and goes walking into town shooting everybody he sees. Deep, rich. The inciting incident? The barista who screwed up his macchiato. That's right: Uwe Boll is now stealing ideas from high school student short films. »

Watch the Trailer for Uwe Boll's Rampage or He'll Kill You!

31 July 2009 1:36 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

I can't help but get the feeling Uwe Boll needs a hug. He seems very angry and lately has been making movies that reflect that anger, that utter contempt for society, that deep down urge to destroy everyone and everything. He uncorked his rage in a serious manner with Seed and then comically so with Postal. His latest, Rampage, is shaping up to be the film that replaces The Basketball Diaries as the spree shooter movie manifesto.

Rampage is about a guy named Bill who grows fed up with his dead end existence and the world in general. Bill decides to vent his frustrations by stock-piling an arsenal of high-powered weaponry and constructing a full-body Kevlar suit of armor and going on a murderous rampage through the streets of his hometown, killing everyone in sight (I hear the film's body count crosses into triple digits), particularly the barista that failed »

Could Great Video Games Finally Get Great Movies?

27 July 2009 1:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

There are plenty of fun, or at least serviceable, video games based on movies, and there have been plenty of abominable ones as well. I've paid cash money to see freaky skinless zombie dogs in Resident Evil and Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and Lara Croft swing from the ceiling in at least one of the Tomb Raider movies. I've wisely avoided the Uwe Boll poopfests, especially Postal, an adaptation of a game that was a cheaply made piece of crap when I first played it in, oh, the early '00s. Let's not even discuss the Mortal Kombat movies or the Super Mario Bros. movie that Harold Ramis wisely passed on. There are just so many mediocre games that have gotten way too much screen time.

But perhaps the cinema will begin to shine for us video game/film nerds. (Not too brightly, though -- it's dark in here with all the monitors! »

Uwe Boll’s Stoic Trailer Starring Edward Furlong

9 June 2009 2:44 PM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Poor Edward Furlong. A few weeks after Terminator Salvation hits theatres, continuing the successful franchise that he was once a part of, his latest film will go direct to DVD in the U.K. Directed by Uwe Boll, Stoic is based on the true story of an inmate at a German juvenile detention hall who was brutally tortured, forced to eat his own puke and hang himself by his cellmates. So this is what it has come to. Some have called this Boll's first attempt at serious filmmaking, but if you ask me, it's just another Postal, with Boll trying to get attention by using shock value alone. As expected, it looks terrible. However, Furlong is also starring in Boll's upcoming film, Darfur, which is apparently about American journalists confronting the atrocities in Darfur. Could that be the movie that will finally legitimize Boll as a director? Nah, I doubt it. »

Uwe Boll talks Festivals, Darfur at Cannes

19 May 2009 6:06 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

What's up Fango Fiends? Uwe Boll giving another entertaining interview, that's what!

Did you know that Fango blogger Chris Alexander once boxed Uwe in Canada? Well, in his former life as a writer for that wacky bunch at Rue Morgue, he went head-to-head with Das Boll, and... lost.

But that's not the point of this. Uwe Boll is currently at The Cannes Film Festival shopping a 6-minute promo for his latest foray into real-life horror, Darfur. The folks at Movieset sat down with the legendary director of Postal, In The Name Of The King, and the classic 2003 film House Of The Dead for a video interview which we've got below.

"I've made a decision that I will not to go to festivals anymore where they have applications where I have to pay a submitting fee. Because I'm sure that it's only they steal all the submitting fees and they just don't looks the movies. »

Boll gets Furlong

2 April 2009 7:43 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Uwe Boll has signed Edward Furlong to his latest documentation of monkeys flinging shit at each other. Billy Zane and Kristina Loken are also along for the adventure. The film is Janjaweed and it is about American journalists in Sudan who are torn between coming home and reporting on the atrocities, or staying there to help. I'm sure it will be handled with the requisite sensitivity. Just like the window washer scene in Postal. I literally have no idea how Uwe Boll continues to snare talent. »
