I came across this recent interview with Uwe Boll where he mentions it:

@Play: Let's talk about your movies. BloodRayne is being released this fall, and you have four other video game-based movies in the works. Do you plan to push ahead with all of these projects?

UB: Absolutely. We're working on Dungeon Siege right now, and we have a great script for Far Cry done already and we're hoping to go into production next year. We're looking for the star right now. I'm sure we'll get a big star … I'm hoping for The Rock.

Fear Effect needs a little more time. We are not quite sure what direction we're going to develop it in. EIDOS just released news of Fear Effect 3 and I've been trying to get them to tell me about the story because I'd like to know the game's story before having a screenplay written.

haha I was just thinking about Fear Effect 1 yesterday! The first disc was soo awesome but why they hell did they turn it into a horror game

Gribbix, you probably have the most awesome avatar ever.

 

[Prine]

Hel yeah, im almost as happy as Tom

Gribbix, you probably have the most awesome avatar ever.

Thanks. It's from a music video by the Flaming Lips (Christmas at the Zoo). The video collection was just released on DVD this week so I'll be able to make a higher quality version.


Oh, and I forgot to quote this gem from the Boll interview:

With Dungeon Siege, for the first time I won't advertise the fact that it's a video game-based movie. We're doing a big epic with big emotion. If people liked Dances With Wolves or Braveheart, they'll like this movie

UB: Absolutely. We're working on Dungeon Siege right now, and we have a great script for Far Cry done already and we're hoping to go into production next year.

My...god. The carnage has gone too far, the man musted be stopped.

 

[..pakbeka..]

i don't think Boll is up to date with his gaming news, maybe he thinks it's still in production

 

[Beowvlf]

See, I'm just not going to get excited about this, for fear my heart will break again. Fear Effect 3 was one of the only cancelled titles this gen that really, really disappointed me, and I couldn't bear to have any glimer of hope smashed to bits again by another idiotic publisher.

...

*prays the news is true*

 

[Funky Papa]

Maybe SCI wants to pimp some old franchises, who knows?

 

[ourumov]

I hope these news to be true...Fear Effect series rocked !

 

[jooey]

I'd like to know the game's story before having a screenplay written.

why, oh why does this man just blatantly lie and get away with it?

 

[ToyMachine228]

I played both Fear Effect and Fear Effect 2, didn't finish either, but I really liked them both. I'd be very happy if Fear Effect 3 were to go back into production. But with Eidos struggling financially, I don't know if they'd be willing to risk bringing it back. I definitely want to hear more on this story.

 

[Zeo]

Wow, I really hope this happens. New game + crappy movie with lots of lesbian-almost-pornographic sex scenes.

Sounds fun.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Wow, I really hope this happens. New game + crappy movie with lots of lesbian-almost-pornographic sex scenes.

Where was Jack Thompson when Fear Effect 2 came out? :lol

 

[D-X]

Since when did he care about the games actual story?
