Uwe Boll possibly directing movie adaptation of Crysis

Actually, I don't care.

Expect the Crysis games to take a hit if this is true - it may not sink as the Alone in The Dark series survived after Uwe's Hack-Botchery, but it may not help overall future sales.

Sigh...

I don't understand the rationale behind choosing to make a stinker, besides it being (expensive) advertising for the game. Alone in the Dark cost $20m and grossed a paltry $8.1m (according to Wikipedia). Who would ever choose that? And why?

Why would a company deliberately choose that when, as an example, 300 (which was a very loving film-conversion of the graphic novel) cost $60m and grossed $456m. Put in three times more, and talent, get out fifty six times more money. It's a pretty simple equation.

And with over a million sales in just a few months, Crysis has proven itself to be a pretty big name IP. Legendary Pictures would be able to do some pretty awesome things with a game like Crysis.

Didn't he go missing off the set of the Far Cry movie!?

Translated for anyone who wants to read it.

"Cevat Yerli, founder of the German developer Crytek Studios, has told the website kotaku.com confirmed that a film about the ego-shooter Crysis in work.

Currently the plans - this should be by the end of the year. As a director, Uwe Boll, who already for various adaptations of video games is responsible, won.

Moreover, the run is still shooting of Böll latest concoction: Far Cry with Til Schweiger in the main role. Far Cry was the debut of Crytek.

CHIP Online says:
Uwe Boll is because of his movie adaptations very controversial. "Alone in the dark", which is also on a computer game is based, is one of several film critics, according to the Hollywood's worst films. Whether bastion with a successful landing Crysis is therefore questionable. (FHO)"

A Crysis movie does not sound great already, but with Uwe Boll? Ugh.

We kinda need to finish the story before verifying whether or not a movie could or should even be made... let alone hand it over to one of the worse directors of all time.

Dumbfounded loyalty (German to German) and a quick, easy buck are the only logical explanations behind this.

I'd say he is one of the worst directors ever. He seems to think his movies of video games appeal to the fans. He's made Alone in the Dark, which is diabolical, House of the Dead and more recently Dungeon Siege.

Its true video game movie adaptions don't get much praise but some aren't too bad, Uwe Boll seems to make it his personal mission to ruin the reputation of a perfectly good game by turning it into a bad movie.

Lets just say Crysis and Far Cry are next in line, I'm not sure why they would sell him the rights to make the movie its hardly going to make them any money or be positive for the games reputation. Maybe someone else knows why they still let him make movies? *sigh*

Watch Alone in the Dark and you'll see - it turned the concept of a decent ancient artifact / evil hunter series into a confsued, non-sensical mess of ravings and gunfire.
