Uwe Boll's Far Cry the movie will be unveiled this Wednesday at a two-day long film festival celebrating the work of the director.
Are you ready for 20 hours of Uwe Boll movies?
Notorious German filmmaker Uwe Boll, best known for adapting several video games franchises to the silver screen such as House of the Dead and Postal, will be unveiling his latest movie based on a game, Far Cry, this Wednesday.
Kotaku reports that a two-day-long film festival, the Boll Film Festival, will be held in Los Angeles later this week on December 17th and 18th, celebrating the director's films while also premiering two new ones: Far Cry, (based on Ubisoft's popular FPS series) and Tunnelrats (a non-video game adaptation set during the Vietnam War).
In addition to Far Cry and Tunnelrats, attendees will also be treated to a marathon of eight other movies by Uwe Boll including Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, BloodRayne II, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, Backwoods, Seed, Heart of America, and Postal. Fans of Boll may want to stick around after the films as Q/A sessions with the director will be held on both dates.
You can check out the official website of the Boll Film Festival here for further details. Watch the Far Cry official theatrical trailer below.
I'd rather jam a rusty screw into my eyeball repeatedly than sit through 20+ straight hours of Uwe Boll's abominations of cinema. But that's just me.

LHO, I agree with you completely!
If this guy decides to do a Metal Gear movie, I'll kill him.

I wonder how much tickets to this will cost. They should be free or given to inmates on death row.

man, that trailer was like, boring. not sure what it was, i mean, most trailers for action movies and such are more intense feeling than that, but unfortunately, it wasn't very intense at all.
im not dissing the actor(s) at all, but i mean, its hard to feel hyped knowing boll's track record and all.
