Uwe Boll Will Quit Making Movies with One Million Signature
Uwe Boll Will Quit Making Movies with One Million Signature

Uwe Boll
Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have a chance to rid the cinematic world of a cancer. Uwe Boll, the German director behind such horrid video game adaptations as House of the Dead, BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege and Postal, has recently admitted that he would retire from making movies if enough people want him to stop. When FearNet mentioned to Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making films, Boll responded that “18,000 is not enough to convince me.
” So how much would be enough?
“One million,” Boll said. “Now we have a new goal.
”
Indeed, now we have a goal. All we need is 980,000 more signatures on this petition and we can rid the world of future Boll-directed/produced cinematic atrocities. as my friend Scott Weinberg on Cinematical points out, Tunnel Rats, Far Cry, Zombie Massacre and BloodRayne 3 are already in production. So we might not be able to stop those productions. Be we just might have the ability to prevent a BloodRayne 4 or House of the Dead 3.
So sign now!

Or you could just.... not watch his movies? This would probably stop him rather much faster... and would certainly stop his torturing of YOU much faster...

Not sure if this is part deux:
Uwe Boll Sues Billy Zane
"Director Uwe Boll has sued actor Billy Zane in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming he's owed at least $700,000 in revenues from the 2006 boxoffice flop "Bloodrayne." .....{snippage}
Lets see, it cost $25 Mil and grossed FOUR...worldwide! Yeah I'd be looking to sue. 
Enjoy the journey
