You know what the world doesn’t need? Uwe Boll making any more films based on videogames. I mean, I love the guy, but enough with the game films already. But how about Boll making aGrand Theft Autofilm?
“Grand Theft Autowould be super interesting for me,” he tellsNew York Magazine, “and I think I would actually be the right guy to do it, because my movies are all bloody and violent and I don’t have a problem with action scenes.”
But he’s a realist and seems convinced it’ll never happen … at least with him behind the lens.
“But look, they will go, in the end, with a Michael Bay,” he says, name-checking hisarch-nemesis, “or a Brett Ratner, and it will be a PG-13 movie made for $150 million. I think it would be better to make a $30 million, very hard, brutal movie without compromising, but I’m not optimistic.”
Does anyone really think a highly secretive and protective company like Rockstar would let Hollywood rape their lucrative series? Besides, Ron Howard already wrote, directed, and starred in aGrand Theft Automovie in 1977. So I say to the whole idea: OLD.
