Yes, I do read other gaming sites than this one (scandelous!).

But, is nice seeing game developers not going for the quick buck to sell off film rights to piss poor directors.

Yes, maybe other developers and publishers will catch on that Uwe Boll sucks, and you should never give him the rights to make your game's movie. It will suck, but there will be worse. Specifically, Uwe Boll worse.

Too bad Max Payne, Far Cry, and Prince of Persia are headed to disaster.

This is a nice breath of fresh air though, I'm very glad to hear this.

No, not Prince of Persia! I was actually looking forward to that one... well, kinda.

No WoW movie, huh...
They can still make a TV series then, or 24 hours live broadcast...

I've often thought that a lot of games would work great as an animated feature. Now, I love anime as much as the next geek, but the folks who've done some of the disney classics could do great work on some of our favourite games. Prince of Persia in the style of Aladdin. The animation style of The Iron Giant for a Warcraft feature. Beowulf's style for almost anything (I haven't seen Beowulf, but I've heard good things for the most part). I think Hollywood and the movie-makers at large are under-using what can be a very versitile and powerful technique.

As with accompanying SammyFreak's avatar, burn them all in the style of Charlie Brooker.

This made me laugh. To bad he won't take the hint...
No way! I was just about to quote this. Honestly, it was the first time in a while that I've wanted to type "lol" but I then contacted my sponser and he talked me down from using an internet acronym, glad I'm safe once a again. But yeah, hilarious quote.

Edit: I found another story where the french conned Boll about a Metal Gear game. See the story at http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/04/24/uwe-boll-gets-conned-out-of-metal-gear-solid-movieby-the-french/
I wish I could make this up.

I don't think I would enjoy a WoW movie the way a fanboy would. I might see it and feel really akward being in a crowd full of people cosplaying as fuck knows what, and then not getting any reference or names dropped in the movie. I still don't get why the elves are the bad guys?

You can actually go to an online petition to make him retire. Once the site recives 1,000,000 signatures, he would resign, as seen here [http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2271690,00.html]. Go figure. Sign the petition here [http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?RRH53888].

Anarchemitis, even if they are 1 million people who sign that petition, what are the chances that Boll will resign? I mean, the gaming community already hate him, so what could he possible lose if he didn't live up to his word... unless there's some sort of legal thing going on.
