So if you want to have a great video game-based movie you have to keep the mood of the game, use the normal character setup - but you have to flesh out the story and provide more background for the characters.

House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.

Heart of America is a movie I'm very proud of. The young actors are great and the story has impact.

I produce for a low price and I sell it on my own to 80 countries.

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.

Alone is a much better film than House of the Dead and better than most horror movies out today.

We thought about it, what we want to tell, and I didn't want to move it directly into the Nazi times. I thought it's much more interesting to see how BloodRayne became BloodRayne.

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.

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.

I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.

In the Seventies, a lot of executions via electric chair failed because of technical problems. Seed tells the true story of someone who survived and sought revenge. They buried him alive to make it seem he was dead.

If people hate me they hate me.

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
Image
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
Image
The thing is, I think as a director or a writer or whatever, you have to have a vision. And you have to be maybe sometimes too early, somewhere.

I think the Matrix effect is over-used and I don't do it anymore.

There are a lot of idiots on the Internet getting a lot of attention.

I play PC and Xbox games at home, and I just got a PSP as a birthday present.

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.

Actors don't have real value.

Now while the German money is over for Hollywood, I still have $80 million to make movies, and we will have two things coming up: less major movies and the price for actors will go down.
