Uwe Boll loves video games

From firing squad, Biz.Gamedaily is reporting that the movie version of Crytek's first person shooter title Far Cry is currently filming in Vancouver. As previously reported prolific video game movie director Uwe Boll (House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, Bloodrayne) is at the helm of the Far Cry movie with German actor Til Schweiger cast in the main role of Jack Carver. Emanuelle Vaugier, Udo Kier, Ralf Moller and Michael Pare are among the other known actors in the film. The Far Cry movie is expected to be released sometime in 2008. Recently Freestyle Productions announced plans to release two of Boll's already completed video game movies, Postal (September 2007) and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (January 2008). A direct-to-DVD sequel to Bloodrayne is scheduled for release this October.

I think it's a weird combo: he loves video games and he hates everything and everybody else. It's the only explanation I can think of for his movies.

Uwe Boll must be stopped at any cost. His vile rape of the video game and cinema mediums will not stand. This aggression will not stand, man!
