The third B in the unholy triumvirate of talentless hacks (Bay, Bruckheimer, Boll [featuring special guest Paul Haggis]) has bought the rights to the yet-to-be-released RPG Legend: Hand of God.
“I think Legend will be very successful because of its unique blend of high fantasy and dark atmosphere. The world of Legend contains major crossover potential and was already adapted as novel and audio book” says Boll from the set of Far Cry, which he currently works on in Vancouver with Til Schweiger, Ralf Möller and Udo Kier.
Seriously, I know it's a business, but why do people let this asshole (UBoll40163@aol.com) shit all over their creations? The sad thing is, I've got a friend who is in Postal, and now I want that to be good. Anyway, here's a little synopsis of Legend for those of you who, like me, have never heard of it.
"For decades, the Order of the Keepers of the Holy Flame has watched over the portal that once allowed demons to invade Aelfal. The ever-burning Holy Flame prevents another invasion - until one fateful night: The flame is extinguished and demonic hordes descend on the Order’s abbey. The last surviving member of the Order, who is ordained as a Keeper that same night, sets out to find the legendary "Hand of God." Accompanied by a Bright Elf, he searches for the shards of the powerful artifact – and in the process uncovers a sinister plot. The flame wasn’t extinguished by accident – somebody wanted to open the door to the demonic realm forever. The hero and his unusual companion form an unlikely team as they set forth to keep the impending invasion at bay."
I can only imagine what this will be like in Uwe's Midas-like hands.

RIVERS OF BLOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!
Oh well, let's see Boll screw the pooch on this feature flick.
Bloodrayne was a mess to get in there, Dungeon Siege has been finished for over a year and still isn't in theaters, either is Postal. BloodRayne 2 is almost done (i think its straight to dvd? as is Alone in the dark 2?)
So why would anyone say 'ok make a movie on this game' if most aren't even making it into theaters?
That's what I was about to say...type. It's like they see the dollar signs and forget who they're handing their license to.
