No one can really tell. "House of the Dead" only offered a peek into Uwe Boll's mind.

Who know's what else he has in store?

I think Uwe Boll's movies can be summed up with one phrase:

[Insert movie title here]? More like [Insert movie title here but with one part of it clever replaced by the word "suck"]!

House of the Dead? More like House of the Suck!
Alone in the Dark? More like Alone in the Suck!
Hunter: The Reckoning? More like Hunter: The Suckoning!

What's with his addiction to making movies out of video games? No original ideas huh?

Dont forget Bloodrayne which is filming now, his casts keep getting better so I guess his production company has deep pockets.

I'm convinced Uwe signed a contract with the devil. Or somebody truly stupid. Who would've thought this guy would have so many big budget productions under his helm? Geesh.

Hopefully it's just completely terrible so it's fun to laugh at. HOD had that going for it.

I am friends with David Schneider and the last time he was in Vegas (also the first time I met him personally) he told me the story involving the script and Uwe Boll. The story he told me was so fuckin' hilarious that Mr. Schneider must tell it to you guys himself one time.



Let me just put this David's story into perspective for ya'll (without telling the entire story which might make David pissed off at me):

Uwe Boll has very limited English skills and will basically put out anything that's handed to him if it's in terms of getting himself a paycheck.

I trust Drew and David on the script (I loved Stark Raving Mad and enjoyed their VH1 popumentary special on Arnold), but I don't trust Uwe Boll.

If you read the top post, David Schneider and Drew Daywalt are the two screen writers on Uwe Boll's next masterpiece.

Well maybe you should Trigger.

It only takes maybe 10-15 seconds out of your time.
