| POSTAL to Become Major Motion Picture Start firing those AK-47s into the air because POSTAL, the game franchise that politicians, parents groups, countless cowardly reviewers and over a dozen sovereign nations don't want you to play has just become the latest game to make the transition to the big screen. Running with Scissors (RWS) has signed an appropriately apocalyptic deal with renegade filmmaker Uwe Boll to bring controversial franchise to the screen in all its blood-drenched, ironic glory. Despite everyone from Steven Spielberg to Microsoft announcing big money deals involving films based on video games, this new partnership between controversial figures in the game and film industries is destined to become the most incendiary game-to-film deal yet. The man behind the camera, Hollywood outsider Uwe Boll ranks POSTAL as his personal, all-time favorite video game. Boll has already produced and directed a series of films inspired by videogames, including "Alone in the Dark", "House of the Dead", and the upcoming "Bloodrayne." Boll is currently on-location in Canada shooting the cinematic version of "Dungeon Siege." write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
