If bad films were crimes, Uwe Boll would be public enemy #1. The filmmaker has outraged critics, gamers, and paying moviegoers with his string of horrendously reviewed and low-grossing game adaptations. Among his "credits" are BloodRayne and the forthcoming Postal, which tastefully spoofs the 9/11 attacks.
Now, Boll has announced his intention to offend again. According to film news site Screendaily, Boll is readying a sequel for Alone in the Dark. Based on the classic horror-survival game, which Atari is remaking for next-gen consoles, the 2004 film bears a subterranean average rating of 9 out of 100 on Metacritic. The sequel, tentatively titled Alone in the Dark 2, will have a bare-bones budget of $7.5 million, and will begin shooting in the summer in New York City.
Who the hell finances his movies, or even gives the scripts the green light? They obivously have never seen any of his stuff. Though honestly, Postal looks kinda amusing, despite the really tasteless 9/11 spoof.
