Uwe Boll working on Baldurs Gate movie - to be released in 2008 - Page 2

Probably a good thing.

I didn't know who UWE Boll was at first, so I was pretty pumped up then when I saw that this was a joke I was like, "Walter, you f*cking a**hole" if you've seen the Big Lebowski.

Although, from what I've read in the last 5 minutes, I hope this Boll guy doesn't screw up In the Name of the King because I think it would be a sweet movie.

I know they do nothing, but it's allways worth a shot

Darth Vader:Who is Uwe Boll
Me: He is making the new Baldurs Gate movie
Vader:What is the ratio of good movies made to video games to crappy ones?
Me: About 0:all of them
Vader:NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ever see House of the Dead? Uwe Boll directed that.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Baldur's Gate movie being made. But I swear, if he touches Halflife...

My gut reaction "..."

What a way to f*** up a good game. When I read that part about Half Life and Metal Gear Solid... *twitch twitch*. *glare*.

Interesting that so many believe Farcry will outdo his other mistakes. I picked it too.

I know little about Farcry, except that it looks cool. A game about jungle mercenaries (if I'm not mistaken) is an entirely different affair from a movie about jungle mercenaries. I think about 1000 of those flopped in the 80's. I'm imagining trying to take a similarly themed game like Jagged Alliance 2 to the screen, which would be wretched - particularly because it spoofs, at least in part, 80's action movies already.

A Baldur's Gate movie would be fantastic. We could rent a cinema for an Ironworks gathering, drink a lot of beer and laugh. You can't tell me that wouldn't be fun. There is a place for such films and thats somewhere between 7 and 9 pints. We could watch Dungeons and Dragons while we were there.

And maybe Dragonheart too? I love the occasional Sean Connery voice-over flick
