Did we know that film director Uwe Boll kinda sorta almost got involved with making movies based on “World of Warcraft” and “Metal Gear Solid“?
But these are the kinds of stories that don’t get old. The ever-excellent MTV Movies blog reminds us of both, with fresh quotes from the famous filmmaker on his near misses with some sure hits.
- On getting snookered by Frenchmen who claimed to have an official “Metal Gear” movie script, Boll says: “This is how it is sometimes.”
- On getting shut down by Blizzard when he inquired about making a “World of Warcraft” movie: “Maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income.”
Best quote from this two-part series is about how Boll doesn’t feel the need to please hardcore gamers: “And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.”

Honestly, I see no reason why Uwe Boll should be the target so much hate. There are lots of crappy directors. Some are even celebrated for it. The only people are really hate Boll are whiney-ass, bitchy gamers who have no lives beyond their precious video entertainment. They need to take a step back, relax, and maybe appreciate Boll’s movies for what they are: Cheesy, campy entertainment, not poison on video.
