"Hey guys, we've got another video game movie in the works."

"Did you call Michelle Rodriguez yet?"

 

[metsallica]

Oh god, it looks like a lost episode of Xena: Warrior Princess performed by a high school drama club. Who the hell let this guy make movies?

Way to follow-up any possible momentum from Kill Bill, Michael freakin' Madsen.

 

[AniHawk]

I can't see the trailer (since WMP + Mac = Day After Tomorrow on a computer), but I can only imagine what levels of crappiness this movie is already in.

 

[fart]

how the hell did ben kingsley get roped into this?

 

[Flynn]

So damn funny.

 

[aku:jiki]

Hey now... That's not so bad. I was expecting HOTD level here. Maybe I'm just saying that 'cause Madsen is in it and that's gonna rock.

But what's up with the medieval setting? I haven't played the games but don't people always say Rayne is all about killing nazis?

Prequel?

 

[Funky Papa]

He must be the most inteligent director ever. I mean, he has tricked Christian Slater, Tara Reid, Stephen Dorff, Kristanna Loken, Ben Kingsley and Michelle Rodriguez to appear into his movies. He must possess some ninja persuading skills.

 

[Kuroyume]

Woah, this thing looks amazing.

 

[Trevelyon]

how the hell did ben kingsley get roped into this?

.. and Michael Madsen too. ;_;

Rayne was born in 1932. It's a prequel to the games.

Sigh..With all the money this is costing to make all they could come up with are police sticks with blades on the end.

This is the same trailer you get when you beat Bloodrayne 2. So terrible (the trailer, the game is cool).

Someone help us Mac users!

I wouldn't necessarily say tricked, actually I bet they jumped at the offer. I mean, what else have they got going for them? except for doing time & snorting coke!

 

[metsallica]

I saw the end with Sir Ben, but it just didn't register. It's literally unfathomable. Can knighthood be revoked?

I like to think he has ridiculous amounts of career-damning evidence on each of these actors, because no other explanation makes sense. Aside from fat sacks of CASH MONEY, of course... but these aren't really big budget pictures.

Heh, indeed. This guy is so obviously a hack yet he`s allowed to continue spewing out movies AND get some pretty big actors to star in them too. It`s definitely odd.

You would think after making House of the dead, actors and producers would stay the hell away from him. He must be good friends with someone high up in the hollywood system or something.

 

[.:RaZieL:.]

Damn, that sucks

How can game developers even give this Arschloch (thats german ) right to make movies about there games?
It looks like a goddamn 80's movie.

 

[aaaaa0]

owwww mine eyes!

 

[Solid]

Can't believe Madsen is in this shit...

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

Uwe is trying to become next Ed Wood?

 

[White Man]

Geez, I need to see this! When will we get a qt version or something?

Is it better or worse than the glorious Alone in the Dark trailer?

Any new classic lines?

 

[Funky Papa]

No lines, it is more like a teaser. It only shows the low production values and little more.

 

[SKluck]

I saw this when I popped in Bloodrayne 2 (which rocks btw), I don't know how he gets these actors. They have to know these movies will be shit, what is he paying them?

 

[DarienA]

I'm not sure how you guys make a good/bad judgement from this... the trailer just looks plain... and tells you absolutely squat about the movie... we just see people swinging swords... getting stabbed....

plain is the best way I'd label it at this point.

 

[Sho Nuff]

I WILL FIND HER

 

[Uno Ill Nino]

Man, I thought you guys were exaggerating.........then I watched. *shivers*

 

[evilromero]

Damn. Did anyone tell the executive producers that nobody likes this game? Hello, we got intellectual properties just ripe for being made into movies and what do they do? Go and take a mediocre game and put Michelle Rodriguez in it.

 

[The Bookerman]

Up next on Boll's video games property to be destroyed list:

Far Cry(which was an awesome game, but a so-so property).
Hunter the reckoning(which is bull crap.).

If somebody offered me to do Uwe Boll movie, I'd say I'd rather hang myself.

 

[ThirstyFly]

The fact that Ben Kingsly and Michael Madsen are in this movie are almost enough to make me go on a murderous rampage.

Thank god I can take my frustrations out in San Andreas.

 

[Axsider]

OMFG!

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

WTF were Michael Madsen and Ben Kingsly thinking??? Looks fucking horrible.

 

[vangace]

what are you fools babbling about, the trailer absolutely tells you nothing about how good or bad the movie is going to be. I am surprised that you make a judgement about a movie on a freaking teaser trailer, geez

If you've played the games, it makes it very obvious that the trailers really f'd up. Everything looks extremely cheap and poorly done (take note of the giant sprays of kool aid blood). Then you throw in Bolls past efforts and it makes it even more obvious where this movie is headed.

Don't forget Fear Effect.

And Dungeon Siege, which he plans to shoot as a two-part feature.

This looks so amatuerish. I've worked on films with infinitely smaller budgets that look better than this, while doing similar things.

I can only assume most of the budget went to paying the actors, which would be the only way they could get suckered into this.

Hah, I just read that Loken is signed for a sequel and that the first movie apparently has a "hot" sex scene with her.

Good god, hide the women and children.

hahaha

 

[Schmo Florez]

Madsen isn't the most picky script chooser.



He's done quite a few b-movie's in the past.

He is the DRIV3R afterall...

 

[Tenguman]

BEN KINGSLEY WHY

This looks like a made-for day-time Sci-Fi movie

only worse


THIS MAN PLAYED GHANDI! WTF

 

[Gek54]

I WILL FIND HER

LOL best trailer ever.

 

[Meier]

[FortNinety]

I've seen made for USA Network movies look better than this.

I don't even like the game and I weep for the franchise.

Someone help us Mac users!

Umm, guys, you know that there is Windows Media Player for OS X, right?

 

[XS+]

I dunno, what legendary actor hasn't been in at least one godawful movie? It happens to the best of em I guess..

 

[COCKLES]

Somehow I doubt even Bowellmovement could make a movie quite as awful as Species II - that just stank to high heaven.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

wait!

you guys are actually like bloodrayne 2 is good...

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

you guys are actually like bloodrayne 2 is good...

Actually it is. Not great, not excellent, not GOTY, but just good.
Good ain't bad.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

i'm not sure i'd call a glitchy, repetitive mess with a competent combat engine good.

but hey, that's just me.

 

[WarPig]

I wouldn't even be that nice to the combat engine.

Sawing limbs off goth kids in the first level is fun, though.

DFS.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

it's pretty fluid, and the fatalities are worth a chuckle.

otherwise, though, it's worthless.

 

[WarPig]

I watched the trailer, and words cannot express how badly I feel for Ben Kingsley. I mean, just look at the fucking wig they're making the poor bastard wear.

DFS.
