If the Japanese can do it, why can't Uwe Boll? Final Fantasy VII had a great story line, and even had a movie made to follow it. and that movie was awesome.

I only play these classical point'n click games and their whole gameplay is based on interactive narration. I really think, these storys could work much better. The Monkey Island Animation Movie was cancelled, the Tex Murphy project as well, Gabriel Knight and so on... the only adventure franchise made into a movie is Broken Sword right now, i guess. And, well, Alone in the Dark is actually more an action-adventure type of game with little storytelling. But there are millions of possible storylines in the adventure genre - Heck, even Zork could be an inspiration for a movie. Just take a game with less shooting and action gameplay and more puzzle solving and narration instead - a good storyline will bring fans of the game into cinemas as well as other people just interested in the storyline.

What else has he done in life to make money? Perhaps he just inherited a fortune or something.. I really don't know what the case is. Most producers and directors that take a more independent approach like he does has investors. His investors are probably the ones going broke.

How many of those titles I just posted do you recognize as gaming titles? He may have decided to stop making movies based on games, but we still have to deal with the ones he has yet to finish wrapping up. He needs to go ahead and declare bankruptcy and start all over again with something different, but as far as him not making any more gaming related movies, I will believe it when I see it. Yes, I was present here – at work – the day he made that statement :wink: .

Infact he hasnt made a cent, as they are failing to make any money at all. “He should take any bit of money he has made, and go back to school and learn a new vocation”

Every once in a while, terrible directors slip through the cracks and he's definitely one of them. Boll simply chooses the wrong games to turn into movies and also somehow finds a way to make the story even worse in the film versions. The real problem with Boll is that he has never taken criticism to heart.. he simply tries to find someone to blame for his failures. If he would sit back and listen to what people have to say about his terrible movies, maybe he would learn something.
