That's right, IGN Filmforce is dishing out the Uwe Boll love-train.

The Good Doctor representin' his peeps:

IGN FILMFORCE: What is the status of Alone in the Dark?

UWE BOLL: We did the test screening and the movie's not finished… It will go out in February, but we did a test screening and then two or three Internet freaks sitting in the test screening [started] writing s**t about the movie. The thing actually is, everybody who saw it really likes the movie, but it is a complicated movie.

The main point for me is, the same people writing that s**t on the Internet, these are the people that should be happy that someone is doing it, because the studio [doesn't] give a s**t, they would do only Erin Brockovich movies mixed with Van Helsing.

What I don't get, what the strategy of these geeks is. I tried to be in a dialogue with the guy… Right now, here online, AntoFreden, BobaFett38, FatGuy2, Melon5555. These are all people, they are online for horror [and] zombie forums… They are in contact with me, they are emailing with me. They are on my buddy list. I try to be in a dialogue with these guys because I am interested what the fans think. But what I really want, because other directors are not doing it this way, but what I really want is, really before they write bulls**t, they should think a little about it, they should look out in the theater. There were 280 people in the test screening and only these five idiots think it's a bad movie…

A lot of people said, 'This is definitely a comeback movie from Christian Slater, he's so great.' If the movie is so sh***y, what the guy is writing [on the website], then why are the people saying something different, this is the point… I'm really pissed about it, still… If there's only that crap out on these Web pages, then everybody is talking about only that thing. It's pissing me off

IGNFF: Will Far Cry be your next project?

BOLL: I just got the first draft of the script. I'm really happy with the script, and Hunter: The Reckoning, we also have a very good script. Now it's like a battle, what movie we do next? We don't know. For Far Cry, you definitely need a big lead. We know that The Rock has interest in doing it… It could be that we go for Bruce Willis or Kurt Russell to play the lead in Far Cry, and if we get one of the three big actors, then it's a good idea to do Far Cry next, because you definitely need a big actor for this movie.

The rest of the interview.

Uwe isn't as crazy in this part, but boy does he hate those damn internet geeks. :lol

He hates GAF!

I want to be on his buddy list. I can't even imagine the hillarious potential.

So he hates computer/internet geeks but decided to make a film based on a computer game?

 

[Duck of Death]

Don't question the DOCTOR. His mad scientist brilliance is above us all.

 

[FortNinety]

Christ, the guys sounds more and more immature and retarded in each interview.

Perhaps if he spent less time remembering the online names of his fans and got his priorities straight, perhaps we could get a film that doesn't make me embarassed to be a gamer.

A computer game? He's running on what, 5 now?
