With Burt Reynolds as a king what could go wrong?

Add to that Uwe Boll is directing it, ur gonna have one big disaster at your hand but at least it spouts good lines like "Tommorrow, we will gouge evil from its shell"

Well, that's the movie dead right there. Someone must have been desperate to see this project happen at any cost.... Surely the budget could be better spent on something more socially and morally acceptable, like dope and hookers. (Though half the film's budget probably will be)

But Sin City already proved the value of doing a movie using those things. You can't repeat it without looking infinitely inferior. Elijah Wood getting owned in the worst way possible was pure gold. :lol:

So this Uwe Boll is made of even more fail than even Michael Bay? :)

Contempt for the guy's films are mandatory and legendary. As it is for the man, himself.

I see...

What a nutcase. Good thing he wasn't alive during the Nazi period. One can only wonder what might have happened then.

If anyone needs a shining example of why most films, today, are shite, one only needs to bring up Uwe Boll. Bloodrayne was one of the worst first 20 minutes of a film I've ever suffered. Unsurprisingly, I gave up at that point. And I've managed to sit through all of Aeon Flux, Electra, Ultraviolet and DOA before I ejected the various dvds from the machine and flung them against the wall. The dvds, not the player. Though it might have helped to put the poor machine out of its misery....

Sequel spamming has done the industry no favours either. This clown is guilty of that too.

Not really he is quite smart at what he's doing. He doesn't really care if the Movie Bombs out because he says 'the films are made in and owned within Germany'.

From Wiki:

Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.

Australia had a similar law of sorts here too but I think from memory the government has wiped the film reward laws out.

Whitlam was the reason Australia even has a film industry. No surprise Howard dismantled funding. Or Hawke, considering he introduced fees for university education.

That's like admiring a wart for taking advantage of human flesh. I'm sure everyone in Germany is glad their movie industry's reputation is now lower than the scum at the bottom of the Mid-Atlantic Trench.

You can never expect much from a director that thinks PETA is a good thing.

It seems to work for the Australian movie industry... oh wait, same problem there (mostly)
Mel Gibson's remake of The Life of Brian is nowhere near as funny as the original.

I remember an interview with Mark Lee, star of Gallipoli alongside Mel Gibson, where he said he'd worked in as many as six films during the 80's that were neither released into cinemas nor onto video, and he doesn't know if any of those films actually got as far as being edited for release. They were all made as tax rips on the government's film subsidy scheme.

Ah, the world of tax evasion. Gerard Wheatley should've learned from Pink Floyd as what's right and wrong in that area.
