In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

[xwolverine2]

the time has come...........


is anyone seeing it in theaters?t:

 

[Fran]

This is the Uwe Boll crapfest, right?

 

[enterthemadness]

Pros:

1. Decent action...may even be good action.

2. Jason Statham seems to be good in this.

3. Decent music.

4. Possibly good CGI

Cons:

1. Questionable script.

2. Questionable acting...maybe even bad acting. From the trailers, Jason seems to be the best actor...and he's an action star. He does look good in the movie, but...Ray and John Rhy Davies(sp?) should be better in this.

3. Uwe Boll. He directed the okay in a mindless entertainment way AITD. He did a much better job here than in HOTD and a better job than in Bloodrayne. A lot of people do overact and say he still a POS, but obivosuly these people haven't watched the three movies I have. The directing in his last two movies is no where as bad as HOTD. He managed to get decent performances out of Slater and Dorff in AITD, but couldn't get a decent performance out of anyone in Bloodrayne--except for Billy Zane in his cameo and Will Sanderson. But when you can't get good acting out of an Oscar Winner,....Sir Ben Kingsley, that is just sad. Boll also likes to mess around with scripts. AITD had a alright script...in a good way...not a chessy b movie way (like the shooting draft of AITD or Transporter 2. Yes, I took a shot at Transporter 2. It wasn't bad, but that script...thankfully the action was good, but still. Would have been nice if the script was on par with the directing and action.) Boll also doesn't know when to shut up. He is the cause of a lot of problems in his filmmaking career. He can't tell the difference between a good or bad script, and he doesn't push a lot of his actors enough to get decent or good performances out of them.

It concerns me that a Uwe Boll movie has good actors in it.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

There ARE no "pros" to this film.
That's why I'll be there.
Can't wait to see regal, stately Burt Reynolds.
lol

It concerns me that a Uwe Boll movie has good actors in it.

He catches them when they are in between projects. A nice little paycheck for a few weeks of shooting is tempting offer for an actor. Obviously Uwe cares little about the quality of his movie and therefore does very few takes to get a line or scene down, so his shoots tend to be very short.

I don't know if it was this one, I think it was his last movie. He hired PROSTITUTES for a scene, since they were a lot cheaper than extras and would do anything he wanted.

 

[enterthemadness]

The movie doesn't sound that bad like A LOT of people think it is.

One of the guys at Dread Central saw the movie at AFM along with Boll's Seed and gaved King 2 1/2 out of 5.

Ready or not, here comes Boll! The good doctor’s latest video game movie tells the story of Farmer (Jason Statham), a ... uh ... farmer who seeks revenge against the madman that kill his son. Lots of hocus pocus and sword fights ensue. You can almost hear Uwe behind the camera, screaming "Look! Eez Lord of ze Rings>!"

King is certainly no Rings. It’s not even a Willow or a Krull, but it also doesn’t scrape the depths of Dungeons and Dragons ineptitude. At the very least, this 2 ½ hour epic is briskly paced and marks a huge step up from Boll in terms of quality. The script is about as exciting as Claire Forlani’s acting skills, but the visuals are nice and there are even a few genuinely entertaining moments scattered throughout. Ray Liotta hams it up beyond belief, which only adds to the fun.

Seed - 2 out of 5.

You thought ole’ Uwe was done with you, eh? Think again. He’s back, this time with a straight-up non-video game horror film. When a brutal masked-killer named Seed survives the electric chair, the prison buries him alive to cover it up. Naturally, he breaks out of his coffin and sets out to punish those responsible. Oooo, dark.

Watching Seed you get the feeling that Uwe Boll is pissed at everyone and everything. With images of torture, mutilation, and real-life animal snuff, there’s an overwhelming sense that he’s trying to channel his rage into some sort of nihilistic exploitation piece. Unfortunately his demons have taken the form of a laughable psycho who looks and acts like a dumbass WWE reject. While this is yet another in the good doctor’s long line of failures, Boll at least delivers something resembling a tone and includes several kills that are downright jaw-dropping.

Sounds like the blood/gore scenes are better than the ones in Bloodrayne, which looked fake.

So is this actually going to come out in theaters, or will he finally get dumped DTV where he belongs?

 

[DOG LIPS]

Uwe Boll movies are great to see in the theater. Just get a few of your loudest buddies, have a few drinks, then go see it. It will rock 17% more than it should.

You say 2 out of 5 like it's a good thing.

...which means it will contain precisely 17% rocking.

 

[GhostPoet]

Man, Uwe Boll is such an awesome director. He should have did Lord of the Rings....




ok, i'll slap myself now.

are you crazy?

 

[The Apatow Crew]

it has Uwe Boll i'm there.

 

[enterthemadness]

are you crazy?

I dunno. I don't feel crazy.

I'm just saying what I see. The only cons I see is a possible weak script and bad acting (outside of Statham).

 

[JackBauer]

exchange that for "certainly" and you might be... well, not right, but not entirely wrong.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

This has 'flop' written thru it like a stick of rock.

 

[Boghen_Moghen]

the time has come...........

Uwe Boll Talks BloodRayne, Dungeon Siege & More

In this exclusive, controversial movie director Uwe Boll (right) talks about his new Dungeon Siege movie (which debuts in Germany next summer), his upcoming sequel to BloodRayne and plans for the franchise, Far Cry and Ubisoft's involvement, and the next Alone in the Dark.


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, the $60 million fantasy movie directed by Uwe Boll and based on Gas Powered Games' PC game franchise, will make its worldwide debut in Boll's homeland of Germany by summer 2007 courtesy of 20th Century Fox. Boll is currently shopping the film for North American distribution. Boll said the film, which is completed, will make its North American debut at some point next year.


In the Name of the King features an all-star cast that includes Jason Statham, Burt Reynolds, Ron Pearlman, Leelee Sobieski, Ray Liotta, John Rhys-Davies and Matthew Lillard. Boll has two finished versions of the film. The theatrical release will clock in at just over two hours, while he also has a director's cut of the film for DVD that will incorporate an additional 45 minutes of action sequences and story into the movie. The theatrical version of the movie screened at the American Film Market recently and has received positive reviews from both journalists and Hollywood execs. I've seen a rough cut of the film and it's definitely an entertaining movie, and by far the best film Boll has ever done. It plays like a big budget fantasy film with a cast of solid actors.


[ "We're going more bad ass in a way because BloodRayne does not have the internal battle of morality and integrity," Boll on the next BloodRayne ]



Boll, the busiest man in the videogame-to-film business, raises all of his own funds for his projects through German investors. The director is currently filming an $8.5 million BloodRayne 2 film with Natassia Malthe (Rayne), Michael Pare (Pat Garrett) and Zack Ward (Billy the Kid) in Vancouver through Christmas. That film, which pits the new BloodRayne against Billy the Kid, who's a vampire, will be released theatrically in 15 territories in Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East and will likely debut on DVD in North America next year in May.


The original BloodRayne DVD sold over 830,000 copies in the U.S., which prompted distributor Visual Entertainment to ask for a sequel to release in May 2007—one year after the first DVD. The first DVD, which shipped May 23, came bundled with Majesco's BloodRayne 2 PC game.


Boll said the sequel will be an R-rated, dark and creepy Western, although this film won't have as much gore as the original because there will be more gunfights.


"Rayne's still using her swords to fight with, but she also has weapons because it's the Wild West," said Boll. "It will be a darker, creepier atmosphere with lots of vampire bloodsucking, but not the type of butchering we did with the first film."


Boll also said that the new Rayne will not be fighting her inner demons this time around.


"We're going more bad ass in a way because BloodRayne does not have the internal battle of morality and integrity," said Boll. "In the first one, she was sad that she was a vampire. 100 years later, she's used to being a vampire and a Brimstone warrior trying to track down vampires and kill them. She's more like an avenging angel."

An Uwe Boll-movie getting positive reviews?!

 

[PWN3R]

Man I kinda liked Jason Statham. His movies are always a fun action flick, shut your brain off kinda thing. He's in a Boll film? His agent must have jedi mind trick powers to talk him into doing this.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

An Uwe Boll-movie getting positive reviews?!

If that isn't a sign of the apocalypse I don't know what is.

 

[PWN3R]

Uwe Boll is who he thought he is.

 

[Roughneck]

I think I'll see it in theaters......Statham means YAY!!!


Boll....now that bothers me....but I'll give it a shot....yeah
