ORIGINAL INTERVIEW
Stepping into the No Win Zone: Dr. Uwe Boll on his upcoming BLOODRAYNE movie starring T3's Kristanna Loken.
PART ONE:
Well, we know what the first movie killer is going to be. Love interests in action movies almost always drag the proceedings down, especially when the hero is a heroine. Also, kinda odd this would be the very first question asked.
Why do filmmakers making movies based on video games seem so hellbent on making their film versions a prequel to the game. If someone made a Pac-Man movie do they think we give a crap how or why he became a chronic overeater forever doomed to wander a fruit-filled maze haunted by ghosts? Build the movie from the game and not vice versa.
Who the hell is Nightwish and are they at least as good as Night Ranger?
Asking for autographs in the middle of an interview and even printing the damn request... I can hear jounalism teachers everywhere sobbing right now.
Jesus, I'd hope so.
As much as we rag on Boll at least he has enough sense to know that CATWOMAN sucked. Although, preaching realism regarding a movie about vampires based on a video game gives me bad flashbacks to Devlin/Emmerich talking about wanting to make their GODZILLA more realistic. We all know how that turned out.
The other 10% need the likes of Casper Van Dien and Michael Pare to even get funding so I can see why he prefers video game movies.
I'd have also asked about Dig Dug, Pooyan, E.T. for the Atari 2600, Superman for the N64, and Super Mario Kart but that's just me. I do give Boll credit for acknowledging the greatness of GTA but I hope he doesn't ever expect Rockstar to return his calls.
Is this a set in stone fact? Have contracts been signed? Between this and THUNDERBIRDS I'm beginning to wonder if Mr. Kingsley is deep in debt to some bookies or something.
Isn't that Germany's most popular brand of popcorn?
No clue.
Between the casting of Loken and this bit of news that makes two things he's gotten right so far. There may actually be hope afterall.
I have to resist the urge to start twistimg my nipples just thinking of the possibilities.
