Quote

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.

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

My favourite game is Postal because it is so politically incorrect.
Uwe Boll
Image
House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.

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

A lot of the main audience thinks video game-based movies are always horror movies but it's totally not true. In video games you have adventure, sci-fi, horror, action and even comedy. I think that people should accept more that video games are kind of like the best-selling books of the new generation.
Uwe Boll
Image
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.

Agents are still asking for millions of dollars for actors that don't sell one ticket.

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

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.

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.
Uwe Boll
Image
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.

Interview with a Vampire was lots of sex, so I'm not sure.

I boxed 15 years in a club.

Slater's a big star and he's been in the business a long time. He's always in a good mood and easygoing but he takes his character very seriously.

I think Alone in the Dark was too much an action creature movie than a horror creature movie.
Uwe Boll
Image
Actors don't have real value.
Uwe Boll
Image
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 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.

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