UWE II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi (March 28, 2008)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's an unexpected tangent: film site IESB.net recently conducted an interview with video game movie director Uwe Boll in which Wing commander was mentioned:

IESB: Are there video game franchises that have been already been adapted unsuccessfully by others – like Doom or Wing Commander – that you’d want to go back and redo?

Boll: Not really, to be honest. I’m in total not a big fan of remakes. I like to start fresh in something new. This was the reason I produced only and did not direct Alone in the Dark II because I didn’t really like – the first one was my weakest movie in a way. The second one is different but not different enough. With Bloodrayne it was a different thing. With Bloodrayne, here I can basically jump from genre to genre. Bloodrayne II was a western and Bloodrayne III will be a second world war movie. So it’s a very different approach.

No Uwe Boll-directed Wing Commander II? Darn the luck.

I would watch that movie so hard...

 

[t.c.cgi]

I bet if EA threw the Wing Commander rights in his lap he'd jump on it like a corset wearing vampire on a generic evil person.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

I think that Mr. Roberts may hold the rights to do a second movie... he did for quite a while, at the very least.

 

[Death]

t.c.cgi, please leave the similes to the professionals. You're not very good at it.

 

[Nomad Terror]

Everybody's a critic.

 

[Frosty]

Uwe Boll does good work.

 

[Jacob]

I'm not gonna lie. As dumb as his films are, they're pretty damn entertaining.

Agreed, Dungeon Siege was the funniest movie I've seen in years!
