Love him or hate him, one can't deny Uwe Boll's determination to make movies in the face of life itself telling him he can't. As if to further prove his dominion over the forces of common sense, Lord Boll has now decided to make movies of games that don't even exist yet. Legend: Hand of God is a PC action RPG that isn't going to see a Stateside release until 2008 but even still, Uwe Duwe Doo has snatched himself the movie rights. Time was, we waited for videogames to become respectable franchises before we wrecked their legacy with awful movie adaptations. I guess Boll's merely cutting out the middle man this time around.
Boll justified his new purchase by talking about the game he couldn't have played yet. "I think Legend will be very successful because of its unique blend of high fantasy and dark atmosphere," Boll explained. "The world of Legend contains major crossover potential and was already adapted as novel and audio book." I have to say I find it sad that I know more about the game than I did before thanks to, of all people, Uwe Boll. That said, I knew nothing of this game before now anyway.

Who exactly loves him? Shouldn't they be killed or hurt in some way?
Your picture broke my brain.
Your picture broke my brain.
And Uwe Boll is a convincing argument for involuntary aesthetic euthanasia.
who am i kidding, he'll make it anyway.
i had this thought when i saw this story. with all teh boll hate..... what would happen if he made a really good movie?
Boll should become an hero.
ULTIMATE FACEPALM!!!!!
My brother likes him( he doesn't like the movies though). I don't know his exact reason why, but I can assure you the answer would be baffling. I think it has something to do with how he beats up all his critics.
Those are sw33t PS's!
oh but all dungeons and anyhting indoors is completly randomly generated.. thats kinda cool...
no class system either
Look on the bright side: Soon, there's going to be a (now) movie-based video game that's going to be better than the movie it's based off of.
p.s. Did you catch the Ebola joke I lead with? I'm so clever...
Anyone consider that Bolldemort is being funded by Jack Thompson in an attempt to suck the life out of gaming?
