A Blizzard emberei röhögőgörcsöt kaptak, amikor Uwe Bol megkereste őket azzal, hogy készítene egy filmet a World of Warcraft-ról.
Blizzard laugh away Uwe Boll
April 21, 2008 Discuss in the Forums | Comments It appears that Uwe Boll applied to Blizzard for the role of director in the World of Warcraft movie. Shock horror I hear you all cry, especially when such an astoundingly bad director has these views about making a faithful adaptation:
“You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it’s impossible. And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.”
In the MTV article, Boll goes on to say that he spoke with Blizzard about helming the WoW movie:
“I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, ‘We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you. Because it’s such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.”
Good news all round I say! Here, here, let’s move on to some good potential directors…
