UWE BOLL CHALLENGES TARANTINO AND HIS CRITICS
Written by Gareth Von Kallenbach
Monday, 12 June 2006
Maverick Independent filmmaker Uwe Boll is set to face his toughest detractors head on as part of the upcoming movie Postal which is based on the highly controversial series from Running with Scissors.
Boll the creator of such films as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark , Bloodrayne, and the pending In the Name of the King a Dungeon Siege Tale, has often been the target of biting and venomous reviews despite the fact that all of his films have turned a profit once the final box office and home video receipts are tallied.
Despite his films financial success, Boll who works outside of the studio system and has his films financed by investors has often been called out by critics as a lousy director whose films are among the worst ever made.
Not content to let such hash criticism go unanswered Boll has decided to face his critics once and for all with a unique challenge that will allow director and critic to face off in a battle royal that further establishes the Directors passion for his craft and his willingness to go the extra mile to put his convictions on the line against those who are content to hide behind their words without any consequences from those they have slighted.
The full release is below.
Uwe Boll Challenges His Critics To Put Up Or Shut Up !
Uwe Boll Invites His Top 5 Most Outspoken Critics of 2005
To Appear In His Feature Film Postal.
Airfares & Hotel Expenses To Vancouver Will Be Paid
By Uwe Bolls Production Company For These Critics To Be In Postal.
June 12, 2006 Vancouver, BC We are proud to announce that Dr.Uwe Bolls BLOODRAYNE starring Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Matthew Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Sir Ben Kingsley, Will Sanderson, Udo Kier, Meat Loaf, Michael Pare & Billy Zane had a successful release May 23rd., 2006 on DVD in both Canada & USA.
Iain Taylor of Vivendi Visual Entertainment Canada stated, BloodRayne ranked in the top 6 best selling DVD titles during the first part week of sales in Canada (Nielsen Videoscan Canada). In the USA BloodRaynes DVD performance was even stronger. Tom OMalley, GM of Vivendi Visual Entertainment (USA), said For the first time in this industry, a Theatrical Release and the Complete PC Video Game were released together on DVD. BloodRayne ranked in the top 5 best selling DVD titles during its debut week (Nielsen VideoScan USA). In both countries unofficial DVD rental statistics have proven to be even more impressive.
Again the fans have shown that the critics of Uwe Boll are out of touch with want the general movie audience population wants. Dr. Boll has continually been roasted for the films he has directed and produced. His last two films, House of the Dead & Alone in the Dark, cost $20 million but they have grossed over $110 million to-date. The same negative reactions from some of the same press and the internet critics are now being directed at Uwe Bolls latest film; BloodRayne.
Dr. Uwe Boll has had enough! Uwe Bolls position is I am fed up. Im fed up with people slamming my films on the Internet without see them. Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand Internet voices. Half of those opinions come from people whove never watched my films. I have been told that BloodRayne has a very bad IMDb rating, but how many of those votes of zero were made before the movie appeared in theatres. The criticism goes on and on.
Uwe is now challenging the critics that failed to watch his films prior to reviewing or commenting, TO PUT UP OR SHUT UP!
On July 17th, 2006 Uwe will start filming his next feature film, Seed, starring Will Sanderson, Ralf Moeller, Michael Pare & Andrew Jackson. Following that film he will go into production in late September with another feature called Postal. Both movies will be shot in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Towards the end of the filming of the Postal the 5 most outspoken critics will be flown into Vancouver and supplied with hotel rooms. As a guest of Uwe Boll they will be given the chance to be an extra / stand-in in Postal and have the opportunity to put on boxing gloves and enter a BOXING RING to fight Uwe Boll. Each critic will have the opportunity to bring down Uwe in a 10 bout match. There will be 5 matches planned over the last two days of the movie. Certain scenes from these boxing matches will become part of the Postal movie. All 5 fights will be televised on the internet and will be covered by international press.
