Postal Movie Planned

Iria · Oct 24, 2005, 12:29 PM

Running with Scissors has announced that film-maker Uwe Boll is set to make a movie based on its violent shooter series, Postal.

Boll has produced and directed a series of films based on videogames, including Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead, and the upcoming Bloodrayne. He is currently on-location in Canada shooting Dungeon Siege.

Postal is scheduled to begin shooting in 2006 for a 2007 release, which will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the original game's debut.

Running With Scissors' CEO Vince Desi said, "Uwe Boll is the perfect producer-director to make Postal. He understands the subject matter and has an appreciation and affinity for controversy and political incorrectness. Postal has always been about reason and insanity, violence and motivation; producer-director Uwe Boll is simply the right guy to bring that vision to the screen."

Boll claims Postal as his favorite videogame. "I see it like a mirror for our society - funny, violent and absurd" he said. "So then the movie must be powerful, strange, and so full of the game's political incorrect outrageousness that if we do it correct, we will all probably end up in jail."

Thing is, people will see it. I can't blame Hollywood, its just business, you can blame the people that will go see it, knowing its bad, just because is based on a video game (look at Doom, why would anyone go and see that, other than than the fact thats its based on the game). If people wouldn't waste their money on this crap, Hollywood woulnd't waste their money and time.
