If bad films were crimes, Uwe Boll would be public enemy #1. The filmmaker has outraged critics, gamers, and paying moviegoers with his string of horrendously reviewed and low-grossing game adaptations. Among his "credits" are BloodRayne and the forthcoming Postal, which tastefully spoofs the 9/11 attacks.
Now, Boll has announced his intention to offend again. According to film news site Screendaily, Boll is readying a sequel for Alone in the Dark. Based on the classic horror-survival game, which Atari is remaking for next-gen consoles, the 2004 film bears a subterranean average rating of 9 out of 100 on Metacritic. The sequel, tentatively titled Alone in the Dark 2, will have a bare-bones budget of $7.5 million, and will begin shooting in the summer in New York City.
