This is quite shocking. The trailer for Herr Boll's next film is already out! This time his rape victim of the game franchise is BLOODRAYNE. To be honest it looks a tad better than the Alone in the Dark trailer, since it keeps it consistant. But still. It looks like crap. I mean ****, this guy is pumping them out like popcorn. No wonder the film companies love him. He makes crap movies really fast, of good franchises, that will no doubt bring in a profit on the first day or so. Uuuugh... I had such high hopes for this guy. But he turned out to be... Worse than Anderson.

It's a fad. eventually game based movies will die out.
-
Huh, a Far Cry movie's in the making as well. Didn't know that.
-
there are liternally about a dozen games being made into movies as of this date.
-
I would find this surprising if the game itself wasn't a big piece of sh*t.
*sees trailer*
If this turns out to be worse...
*shudders* :shaking:
-
What's your problem?
It does exactly what it says on the tin - like it or leave it...
I might buy the DVD just out of curiosity some time in the distant future :p

I shall coin the term Gamesploitation. Wherein a director uses the exploits of a particular game to promote his own crappy film, not allowing for anything original to be made.
-
Also read on Game Spot that a Rainbow Six, Metriod and Spy Hunter movies are in planning.
-
Where's the Sonic the Hedgehog movie? :(

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six was the reason I started to hate and detest that man. It was a complete piece of ****.

Ugh. I am anxiously waiting for Civilization game.

Well, it was like the whole decision that the Doom movie should have nothing to with Hell, isn't that like deciding to do an Alladin movie whilst removing the genie?
-
Yeah. And most of Arabia as well.
-
I hope the guy doing the Doom movie rots in hell.
-
Yeah, then he'd atleast get the idea.
-
Eh. It looks no worse than the game.
-
My question is how wasted Ben Kingsley was when he agreed to make this movie?

Not a director. His name is Uwe Boll. He must be stopped.

Oh... my... god.
Stop the humanity.
I really hope this guy doesn't go after the rights to do a Halo movie...

And that basically summarizes all game movies.
-
Eheheheheh... That is unfortunately how things are starting to look nowadays. I have never... NEVER witnessed a year that has had so much crap come out of Hollywood. True, there's been a few good films, but the ratio is totally out of whack. Hopefully this trend will end in a year where Hollywood realises that the movie audience is not just a bunch of retards. Maybe I should go into to tv production instead.... :(
-
Make's you wish for the old day when the studios had stars under contract, sure there was crap, but it didn't cost so much to make.
-
Aaaaaargh, my eyes!
The googles, they do nothing!
-
Sorry to say Dark 4ce, but the movie audience in general is a bunch of retards.
-
*Sigh*
:(
...I know...I know...
-
Hey, be glad poke'mon died before all these game movies started being made.:D :yes: And I'm not talking about another cartoon.
-
Sci-Fi Pictures and made for TV are my last hope...
-
I'm thinking Japanese and Chinese films, but that's just me.

Bloodrayne movie problems
Main character: Needs More Boobs
Michael Madsen: NOT A VAMPIRE! HELL NO!!!!
from what i saw, completely dry acting and really, really badly written lines,
-
so is it going to be worse than the SMB movie?
-
It'd probably suck, but what about a fanmade Freespace movie? With some of the people on here, it might turn out to be pretty good...
Penny Arcade is awesome.
-
Best way to do an FS movie would be with CGI. All of it. Like FF: The Spirits Within.
-
Christ.... needs money for that, but I agree. Except Spirits Within blew ass, and if any Freespace movie sucked, I would kill myself.
-
The character doesn't lok angry / sluty enough to be in a Bloodrayne movie. Plus, I'm kind of tired of all the bampire movies.
-
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm going to watch this movie and probably enjoy it on a delightfully shallow level.
Violence and boobs, violence and boobs! :yes:
-
I doubt it. There are certain movies that can be enjoyed on purely that one level, Underworld comes to mind, but some are so bad that you get embarrased just watching them. Even irony has its limits. I could barely finish the trailer, and thats like 30 seconds.
edit: oh and, completely agree with vyper. Freespace would best be done with kick-ass CGI. Even good machnima would suffice.
-
Well, you can go ahead and be self-conscious, but the sex appeal has sold it to me already.
-
If the pointless action movie goodness can't be sustained through a trailer, I don't think the boobs are going to be enough to keep the movie going.
-
did i say hollywood was dying out ?(i almost typed hollow-wood)
i mean that Hollywood is dead, and it's death-throes are flinging out crappy movies like the infected blood from an ebola victim.

Which is exactly what you get when you have such an exclosed community of people who don't do anything by massage each other's ego.

Was I the only one who noticed a substantial lack of boobs for a videogame character? Kristanna Loken is like, a small C-cup at best.
-
Hey now, Alien vs. Predator didn't have tits, and it also didn't have a good storyline... but I still liked it, so tits don't make or break a bad movie.
-
KT, by game standards ever woman on this planet has almost nonexistant titties. Game designers are some seriously perverted people, and with very few exceptions the femals characters are all huge and scantly clad.
The only one I can think of right now that breaks the mold is Jade from Beyond Good and Evil, and even she is quite well endowed.
-
Well the female characters in the Silent Hill games manage to avoid being oversexed. Personally I'm getting fairly annoyed with the whole thing, most cases I can put up with it but on occasion it can just ruin a game, like Warrior Within (I know a lot of people will say that's far from the only thing wrong with the game, but eh).
-
Well, I borrowed House of the Dead from my friend. And I will watch it tonight. I gotta give the director the benefit of a doubt anyohw. Been bashing him without even seeing a single movie of his made me feel a bit guilty. But still the trailers look like they suck. Though on a positive note, they say that Bloodrayne will be either nc-17 or r-rated. Though doesent look like it. There's supposed to be exclusive gore and a bit of lesbian erotics as well. Still looks like crap though.
And on a negative note... I heard that Doom will be.... PG-13!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :mad::hopping:
-
You guys are such party poopers, totally deflating the magic of needless violence, cleavage, and generally mindless entertainment. :doubt:
-
I love midless action and the like. What I really hate is that when producers make a film about a game, they totally neglect the source material. If they want to make a midless action movie with huge cleavage, fine but if all that has nothing to do with the source material, why even bother to use the name of it? Well. A simple answer. Cause the name alone will sell the movie. The toon about Doom and metroid prime stated it perfectly. Just as long as the name is still attached, it will sell.
Its cheap tacics man. Right now, what they're cooking up for doom sounds interesting, if not familiar to Resident Evil. But if they change the name, then I'll be fine with it. Cause what they're doing isn't Doom. If they want to make a film about a game, they should stick to the source material.

"...she lusts..."
:lol:
-
IIRC, Bastilla in KotOR wasn't "super endowed", and that game sold very well.
-
[stupid] Hmm... Bloodrayne's got Udo Kier in it. I might just go see it. [/stupid]
Holy crap, I almost fell for it.
-
I just finnished watching House of the dead....
That movie must have taken 10 years off my life... T'was a very poor film. However, one slight redeeming aspect of it was some nifty little camera work in the big zombie shooting scene. Kinda cool matrix rapes. But nothing original. Characters are so cliched its comical, the dialogue.... We wont go there.
Then theres Alone in the Dark. Also a very poor movie. An improvement on House, but still a horribly achieved piece of cinematic gamesploitation. Nothing similar to the game. That movies slight positive is Christian Slater. Never the less, the action is poor, the camera work is poor, the plot is poor, the dialogue...
.... I have come to the conclusion that this Director has somehow fallen into a loophole of filmaking. I could almost call it a renneisance of poor cinematic creation of the likes we've never seen since the 1950-70's teenage horror drive-in b-movie era. I truly think that in 20-30 years his movies will be on some b-film buffs shelf as cult classics for being so poor.
But wwho knows. John Carpenter did Dark Star before The Thing, orBig trouble in Little China. Maybe Boll will make something worthwhile... At some point...Hopefully...

Well you know how today's OTHER RPG's work...
"The less clothes, the more boost to armor and health you get!"
Seems now that when playing World of Warcraft, the most scantly-clad armor for the chicks is the most powerful...
Then again, I'm not complaining.
-
I hope the Halo movie will be better. ;)
-
Yeah. Microsoft just hired the writer for 28 days later to write the script for Halo.
-
Sam Raimi is thinking about making an Evil Dead 4 aka Army of Darkness 2 after Spider man and The Grudge has been done to death.
Edit: oh yeah sry for derailing the thread.
-
I just watched the Grudge. I was severly dissapointed. I'm starting to get worried if I'm turning into a pretencious film critic asshole. I'm gonna sit down, watch brain dead, evil dead trilogy, starship troopers and Band of Brothers... Maybe then I can once again raise my love for movies.

Their love was eternal. so was the war! romantic drama about two young people who love each other and the man then goes off to fight aliens in NOXXOROCOXOXOOXXXOX and the chick is so depressed and there are zombies and ROGUE ELEMENTS and apparently the war is just a scam and there are references to "halo", a superweapon carried by leader of the aliens, Master Chief, who is a woman as well and uses energy eye beams and stuff to subjugate the loyal allies of humans - the Grunts! after this the guy then falls down to alien homeland THE HIGH CHARITY where he fights the master chief armada with his Warthog-rifle and is supported by his girlfriend who pilots a Pelican-class battledreadnoughstarttesticle or something while the EARTH IS IN DANGER
That's a Halo film by Hollywood to you! All film adaptations of games are, by default, going to suck.

Wow... I wish that could be a hundred percent true, but it seems too, heated and ranted to sound absolutely real. I've read many interviews with Uwe Boll, and it doesent seem to show him have poor english. I should see a live interview. Because that article makes him look like the most inept retard on the planet. Which he probably is, but I doubt he's THAT bad.
