Dungeon Siege Movie

[Knightfall]

Well, someone must like Boll because not only is he doing Bloodrayne (2005) and Dungeons Siege (2006), but four other movies as well: Night Claws (2005), Hunter: The Reckoning (2006), Fear Effect (2006), and Far Cry (2006). Of course, that doesn't mean they will be good movies.

Far Cry, a very good game, had the potential to be a good action flick. Why did they have to give it to that idiot?

Looking at his track record I would have to say cause its based upon a video game and not much else.

Actually spot on. Through a loophole in German tax code studios who 'rent' their films from German investor groups, Major studios are able to recoup production costs plus an extra 20 million or more, so long as principle casting and shooting is done in Germany. [size=-2])[/size]

It all becomes clear now. So, it's basically a subsidy from the German film industry/government? That explains a hell of a lot.

The Game

I liked Dungeon Siege. The thing I really didn't like about it is that after painstakingly making it through the game with a multiclass character, she wasn't nearly strong enough to lay the smackdown on Gom.
I have found this sort of problem with a number of games I like. For example, Black & White; never have I both loved and hated a game so much at the same time as I did Black & White. I had to restart... let's see... Twice? Maybe just once, but still!
Anyway, I imagine that at somepoint, *someone* (or *someones*) will realize that their money is being wasted on craptastic films that could of been half-decent moneymakers in the hands of any other director, and suddenly all those game-to-movie translations will have other names attached to them.
At least this guy isn't going to be anywhere near Alice...

I'm still trying to figure out how to smack down the Big Bad One at the end of Neverwinter Nights...
