Frankfurt-based BOLL KG has raised $107m with its production investment fund to finance feature films based on video games, according to CEO and director Uwe Boll. The new money will be directed toward the coproduction partnership Boll established with Vancouver-based service production specialist Brightlight Pictures.
The partners are working on a slate of projects that will tap Canadian tax credits, including two completed films - Alone In The Dark, starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid, and BloodRayne, starring Kristanna Loken and Ben Kingsley - both set for distribution in 2005. Another title, Dungeon Siege goes before camera this year.
Said Boll in a statement, "In 2003, Boll KG saw $47 million (US funds) raised and in the 2004 fiscal, we increased this amount to $107 million, which is a great success in the film industry." With the rising popularity of films based on computer games, Boll anticipates high box office sales for both films."
