More quotes by Uwe Boll
I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.
Uwe Boll
Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.
Uwe Boll
I like the direct contact. I want a lot of people that only know me through the mass media to learn more about what I'm doing, and to know that I'm an independent filmmaker and I'm not part of the Hollywood system. I'm coming from where they started. I'm not coming from a family with a lot of money.
Uwe Boll
A movie like House of the Dead with around $7 million budget or Alone in the Dark with around $16 million budget are much easier to make profit than the typical $50 million major motion picture.
Uwe Boll
So if I get these actors for 30% of their price by coming in so late with an offer when they know they are not getting another offer then I do it this way.
Uwe Boll
I think video games are a great kind of entertainment. They have replaced a lot of games people normally play with their friends and neighbours, like Monopoly.
Uwe Boll
Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the government.
Uwe Boll
I want to be like, Look at Postal like Quentin Tarantino did it. Brainwash yourself and convince yourself that Tarantino did it. Forget my name and enjoy the 100 minutes and then write your review.
Uwe Boll
I always try to get games of different genres. This is the reason Postal is a comedy, and Far Cry is a real, pure action movie - like Die Hard on an island - and In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale was my opportunity to do my epic, Braveheart, Lord Of The Rings, Gladiator movie. I try not to repeat myself in genres too much.
Uwe Boll
Of course there are a lot of books that are interesting to make movies out of, but on the other hand, I think video games are also kind of like bestselling books for the younger generation, and the younger generation is the one going to the theaters.
Uwe Boll
The Postal is a ruthless, Mad TV-type thing. We sent out a DVD to the South Park producers, and they liked the movie so much that we can say now, It's like South Park with real actors on the trailers and posters.
Uwe Boll
I had $60,000 for my first movie. I was 33 before I made any money off of movies. I worked my ass off for free. To get that I'm enemy number one among young kids is a little absurd.
Uwe Boll
I think the harsh reviews helped, in that I spent way more energy in the preproduction and development. From this point of view, I'm very thankful for the harsh critics. I still think the critics were unnecessarily insulting in a lot of things, but I think it helped.
Uwe Boll
Any asshole can make a good movie for $100 million. I think it's way harder to make a movie with no money, and to start with no contacts and work your way up to international productions.
Uwe Boll
There are a lot of idiots on the Internet getting a lot of attention.
Uwe Boll
House of the Dead 2 I gave away. Alone in the Dark 2 I will also not do even if the DVD movie made money. BloodRayne 2 in the Wild West is what I really want to do.
Uwe Boll
Interview with a Vampire was lots of sex, so I'm not sure.
Uwe Boll
Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.
Uwe Boll
I think without the harsh critics, I would maybe have not made progress. From BloodRayne on, I spent more time and money on the development.
Uwe Boll
Postal will be so politically incorrect and harsh, it's like a mirror to American society, and I don't think the movie will be well received by everybody. For example, Osama Bin Laden will be one of the lead characters - I think that shows the mood of the movie.
