Stop This Madness... Uwe Boll's Grand Theft Auto movie plans Source: Vulture
At first the self-delusion and hugely inflated opinion of his film-making skills were funny... Uwe Boll, the German director who makes bad films from good computer games, what a guy, eh!
But now he’s gone too far and intervention must take place. Boll, it seems, has plans to make a Grand Theft Auto movie. Yep, you read that right.
Boll recently confessed to Vulture in typically modest style that he’s the perfect man to helm Grand Theft Auto: The Movie and he would make a “very brutal” adaptation.
“Grand Theft Auto would be super interesting for me, and I think I would actually be the right guy to do it, because my movies are all bloody and violent and I don't have a problem with action scenes,” said the director. “But they will go in the end with a Michael Bay or a Brett Ratner and it will be a PG-13 movie made for $150 million. I think it would be better to make a $30 million, very hard, brutal movie without compromising, but I'm not optimistic.”
Unsurprisingly, Rockstar Games (which produces the GTA franchise) has chosen not to comment on the offer.
Were it not for his appalling back catalogue, you could almost applaud Boll’s self-assurance but we can’t help but think that this is a really bad idea. Despite our usual partisan stance when it comes to cinematic stupidity, Boll has proved that he simply can’t learn from his mistakes. Of course, if his latest game-adaptation flick, Postal, manages to trounce Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull at the box office, there’s actually a chance that A Boll Production of Grand Theft Auto: The Movie could become reality and for the sake of mankind we simply cannot let that happen people – we must rise up and speak out, stop this Bollocks now!

It's a shame superheroes are fictional because here we seem to have a 100% real super-villain who must be stopped at all costs.
The GTA games are as close to computer game perfection as is possible and this man is trying to ruin it. Has he no shame? ... Read More
You want to make this day a funny one? Go visit youtube and see some of Dr. Boll's video-podcasts or whatever they're called. Not only does he seem rather full of himself, but he's also featuring the funniest German accent since whenever Peter Sellers did one for the last time! Well worth watching! ... Read More

Mate, you have problems with films, never mind action scenes. How doe's this twat manage to get finance to make films?
A little while back he called some truth-speaking jouro's who slagged him off into the ring for a box-up. Let me in the damned ring, please. I'll put the fucker dow... Read More
I gotta say i think it's a bit nasty to have a petition to stop a filmmaker from making films. I can't really comment on the in's and out's of all of his films because Blood Rayne put me off watching any more of them. And that's what i think everyone else should do,...dont fucking watch them. It's clear he's doing something right though because people keep hiring him, and he obviously has an audience (no matter how braindead they all are!) so come on people, lighten the fuck... Read More
I remember years ago he said he was perfect to direct a Metal Gear Solid movie, but his boosting stopped after he received death threats from die-hard fans. Let's face it, if he doesn't make GTA, he will make Doctor Mario or Tetris instead. ... Read More
Don't fret. Look everyone knows Uwe Boll is a talentless barrel of man jam, and Take 2 are VERY reluctant to let anyone make movies of their games, BioShock was the first that they let be made. Trust me, it will never happen! ... Read More
I no this guy makes really horrific movies but if he is a film maker he must have a great passion for movies. To stop someone doing what they want IMO isn't fair. Besides i doubt thousands of people watch his movies at all, so if you want this shit director to stop making films simply ignore it. He's prbably gettting loads of publicity for how bad he is and how much of a deal we are making of this story. We ignore him and then he will either stop of possibly re evaulate himself and stop making m... Read More
