So the "Ed Wood of the 21st century", über game movie director Uwe Boll is at it again… this time with the new Dungeon Siege movie.
Sure, it's got a pretty good cast, especially when you consider who's directing it. But after the miserable reviews and performance of his last two films (Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead) all I want to know is who keeps selling him the rights to these properties?!?
But hey, he's found a solution to his problems this time. In this article on GameSpot, it's revealed that he's learned his lesson: "Boll told GameSpot in February that he understands the importance of a great script and that he wanted this film to have 'great characters in a Braveheart meets Conan meets Lord of the Rings story.'" That's why he picked the guy that wrote Van Helsing to write the Dungeon Siege screenplay.
Yeah. That's gonna help.
Well, at least there's the Far Cry movie to look forward to… oh, wait a minute…
