Wait, what?

So Uwe Boll is given the reigns of a sword and sorcery film and the producers somehow manage to corral Jason Statham, Leelee Sobieski, Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Claire Forlani, Ron Perlman and Matthew Lillard to star in it. Right?

I mean, none of those actors are really top-notch thespians. All of them have been in some pretty bad films. Some of them have been in some pretty great films. But that cast is pretty mind-blowing to me for this type of film.

Yet they all agreed to act in the turd-fest that is In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale a couple of years ago. I've searched long and hard, but this may be the very worst film that has ever been made. And George Lucas wasn't even involved in any way.

Uwe Boll must have compromising pictures of all of these actors in a secure vault someplace. That's the only way that I can explain it. He even managed to get Sir Ben Kingsley to star in BloodRayne.

What.
The.
Fuck.

Haven't seen the movie and it will stay that way, thanks to you.

Though I gotta admit I have the tiniest girl crush on Claire Forlani.

Yeah, I can't figure out why any agent lets their actors star in a Uwe Boll film. He has yet to create anything that isn't a complete pile of shit.

Statham rocks! He's been hitting the gym, and looks delicious. Did that read as, "gay?" And is Leelee Sobieski the actress who plays a younger, hotter Helen Hunt? You remember that scene in "As Good As It Gets?" No...silly geese...not the scene where Carol comes in from the rain and both of her chest turkeys are done. I'm talking about the scene where Melvin tosses that dog down the garbage chute. Classic. Woof!

All UWE does is take successful video games (dungeon siege was an OUTSTANDING game) and turn them into shitty movies.

Both industries (movie and video game) knew this was going to suck for years before it got released..

Expat - That's okay. My buddy, the Water Logged Canine, has a bit of a boy crush on Jason Statham. Wonder what he is gonna say bout this post?

Avitable - It is so beyond me.

WLC - There it is! :)

Becky - He is dreamy. Wait, what?

Slyde - Can't your "friend" do something about this guy. Break his back or his skull so he can never make movies ever again?
