First Trailer for Uwe Boll's Film About the Genocide in Darfur

2 November 2009 4:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Yes, you read that headline correctly. Dr. Uwe Boll, the notorious filmmaker behind the likes of House of the Dead, Bloodrayne, In the Name of the King: a Dungeon Siege Tale, Alone in the Dark, and Postal, has made a film - a serious one - about the ongoing conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan. I imagine you're as surprised as everyone else.

I first heard about the film, titled simply Darfur, about a month ago at the Fantastic Fest Q&A for Boll's man-on-a-killing-spree movie Rampage. The director casually referred to the film as if it was no big deal, though it was obvious that everyone in the room was as stunned as I. When pressed for more information, Boll explained that he felt the world was turning a blind eye to the crimes against humanity that are committed daily in Darfur, and that as an artist, the »

Is ‘Rampage’ Uwe Boll’s First Good Movie?

5 October 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

No you didn’t read the title wrong and no, Screen Rant isn’t pulling your chain. As I sit here in Hell putting on my winter parka, I find myself reading rumblings from the web that the most famous blind squirrel in Hollywood history may have actually found his nut. That’s right; it would appear that Uwe Boll (BloodRayne, House of the Dead) has actually made a Good movie with Rampage. So now we have to decide: is the world coming to an end or has the director actually found his stride?

Now, it would appear through word of mouth at Fantastic Fest that Uwe Boll’s latest offering, Rampage, is actually Good! Yeah, I know, pick your jaw up off the floor. Rampage stars Brendan Fletcher as a guy that gets fed up with his life, so he builds a suit made of Kevlar, stocks up on »

Myers' Love Guru Sweeps Razzies

22 February 2009 6:05 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Mike Myers was shamed as the "worst actor in Hollywood" at the 2009 Golden Raspberries, a spoof movie awards ceremony.

The comedian's film The Love Guru dominated the 29th annual event, taking home Razzies for worst picture, screenplay and actor on Saturday - a day before the Academy Awards celebrates Tinseltown's finest.

Paris Hilton scored a triple dishonour, winning awards for worst actress for her part in The Hottie and the Nottie and worst supporting actress for her cameo in Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Hilton was also included in the worst screen couple alongside her Hottie co-stars, Christine Lakin and Joel David Moore.

Neither the heiress nor funnyman Myers were present to collect their gold spray-painted Raspberry statuettes.

Pierce Brosnan was named worst supporting actor for his singing turn in Mamma Mia!, while the worst-director Razzie went to Uwe Boll for his three films In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, 1968 Tunnel Rats, and Postal. »

Uwe Boll talks Razzies and Bloodrayne 3

16 February 2009 6:31 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Despite being named as the recipient of the Worst Career Achievement nod at next weekend’s Razzie Awards (not to mention his flop fantasy opus In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale being nominated for five additional gongs), Fango found that notorious director Uwe Boll retained his token sense of humor when we recently caught up with him. Indeed, he wants readers to know that he won’t be picking up his “award” at the ceremony due to prior commitments.

“I will be filming out in South Africa,” he tells us, “so I cannot be there in person.” Moreover, when asked who he thinks might deserve the Worst Career Achievement distinction over him, Deutschland’s leading B-movie maverick answers, “No one, only me,” before admitting that—despite what his detractors might hope—he intends to keep busy. “I do not plan to slow down until 2010,” he continues. »
