Come next month Uwe Boll will be standing on the set of his seventh video game movie.
Gamerflicks has learned that Bolls next movie will be an adaptation of Far Cry, the first-person shooter released in 2004 by Ubisoft. Filming on Far Cry the movie is set to begin on June 20 and last until August 28 but contrary to a newspaper report that appeared late last year it now appears that filming will not take place on the island of Hawaii but instead in Vancouver, Canada. This is the same location that Boll has used for five of his six gamerflicks shot so far (with the first BloodRayne being the sole exception.)
Several veterans from Bolls earlier movies will again reunite with the director such as Shawn Williamson (producer), Mathias Neumann (director of photography) and Tink (production designer.) The screenplay is by Michael Roesch and Peter Scheerer (Alone in the Dark, House of the Dead II.)
Its unknown how close the movie will stick to Ubisofts game story although the change of location from a tropical environment (the setting of the game) to Vancouvers coastal rainforest may require some modification to the screen story. The game follows Jack Carver, an ex-Special Forces soldier, who is hired by a journalist named Valerie Constantine to take her to a seemingly remote and unpopulated island in Micronesia. Shortly after arriving on the island Jack is attacked by mercenaries and separated from Val. As he begins tracking his employer across the jungle Jack discover that there are strange mutated creatures also on the island called Trigens, the result of a clandestine experiment involving genetic manipulation. As each step brings him closer to rescuing Val, more clues about the origins of the Trigens and their creators are slowly revealed to Jack.
At different points along the development path of Far Cry actors Michael Paré (BloodRayne II) and Jason Statham (In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Movie) have been rumored to play the role of Jack Carver in the film.

wha..wha...why the bloody hell? Stephen Dorff did voice over for Jack in either the Xbox or PC version of the games. He's an acting...he needs money...and since the film will probably tank, might as well have him as the lead. Because Dorff = box office poison. I'm surprised he's still getting small theater releases for some of his films.
