I saw the poster at the theater. The poster lists the release date as January 6th.

Is this a good idea? I've heard that movies based on video games don't do so well.

Will the movie have a good storyline, or focus on the T&A aspect of the game?

I'm not sure.

Posted by pfresh85 (Member # 8085) on :

Let's see: a half decent game at best that has a huge focus on T&A, and they take it and make it into a movie. Nope, doesn't sound like a good idea to me. *waits to watch it flop*

The trailer looks so-bad-it's-good.

Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :

I saw a trailer for it. Before Wallace & Gromit of all things. I take it as a bad sign that the trailer was not actually at theater 16:9 aspect ratio, but was like a TV spot played before the actual trailers along with the Coke ads and music video clips.

Of course, I also took it as a bad sign that the movie even exists in the first place.

In the words of Han, Luke, and pretty much everyone else in the original trilogy, "I've got a bad feeling about this". [Angst]

Isn't it a Uwe Boll movie? That would pretty much guarantee its failure from the start.

Posted by Rico (Member # 7533) on :

I wouldn't go near anything even closely related to Uwe Boll. How does he get funding for all these terrible movies and why does he hate videogames so much?

I think he's doing it on purpose... he just has to be. There's no other explanation.

Posted by ricree101 (Member # 7749) on :

From my understanding, his funding comes from people who are taking advantage of a strange German tax loophole. From the way Uwe Boll talks, I don't think anyone has told him about this yet.

Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :

Here's the trailer. I'd never heard of it before seeing the trailer. Makes sense that it's based on a video game. Looks like the movie should be good just for the hilarity factor.

What I'm wondering is how did Ben Kingsley get involved in a movie like this?

Posted by Tarrsk (Member # 332) on :

It's a movie by Uwe Boll, a director so bad that his films can't even be MST3Ked enjoyably. What else do you need to know?

Meatloaf is in it! Now I have to see it.

mmm mmm gooooood... Meatloaf with ketchup
So what's a bloo drayne???

Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :

Well, I can bet it's not going to hold true to the spirit of the video-game. If it did, it would have to get an NC-17 rating at least. The video game is pretty much animated snuff porn.

Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :

Thanks. Not even Meatloaf can get me to watch that kinda stuff.

Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :

The title character of the game is a female vampire with more than ample breasts.

Posted by Storm Saxon (Member # 3101) on :

There's a certain magic to the phrase "a female vampire with more than ample breasts".

Posted by Historian (Member # 8858) on :

Sadly, I don't hold much hope for this Uwe Boll movie, but I am looking forward to Dungeon Siege.

P.S. And with that statement I've given you all the keys to find out who I am.

Whereas MeatLoaf only has one of the three requirements to qualify for the magic. [Big Grin]

I heard about it a long time ago. It hit my radar because my daughter's name is Rayne.

So I'm bummed they made this movie. People are going to think I named her after a game I wouldn't allow in my house. [Frown]

Not that it should matter, but it's sort of in the back of my mind. I just know it's going to come up.

Posted by KarlEd (Member # 571) on :

Just don't let her play with un-dead things or Nazis and I'm sure she'll be OK. [Wink]

I understand. My parents would be PO'd if they made a game called "Blooddave."

I think this is excellent advice for anyone raising a toddler. [Big Grin]

...Udo Kier, hmm... Billy Zane, interesting... Michelle Rodriguez, hey!... Ben Kingsley, cool!...Video game adaption, oh... By Uwe Boll, never mind...

Addendum: just saw the trailer.

Oh god... that was the worst trailer I've EVER seen.

Don't worry. I doubt there will be enough people who have either played the game or seen the movie to ever make that connection.

I don't think I've ever been quite so unexcited by a trailer. It looks like a slightly more modernized, and even more sucky version of Red Sonja.

I was hoping that this would be a good video game movie - they're usually great fodder for action movies because you've got all the elements, usually - hot, scantily clad chicks, lots of fighting, action, things blowing up, stunts - you know, brainless escapist fun. I heard that Boll was attached to it, and I was hoping against hope that it wouldn't suck beyond description, but it looks like Boll's done - or rather, not done - it again.

Something should be done to stop this man from making more movies.
