Director invites critics to a smackdown
Jun. 14, 2006. 01:00 AM
VANCOUVER—Are you an in-shape male weighing between 64 and 86 kilograms and hate the films of controversial German director Uwe Boll?
If so, he wants to fight you in Vancouver as part of one of his films. The director of the recently released vampire flick BloodRayne, starring Kristanna Loken and Ben Kingsley, claims to be frustrated with critics trashing his films. Some, he says, do so without having seen them.
"Many journalists make value judgments on my films on the opinions of one or two thousand Internet voices," Boll said.
"On the message boards ... tons of people, they want to punish me kill me, grill me, shoot me, everything. The Internet threats are so full of hate a lot of times that I think it goes way over the top of normal reviews and normal talk about a director."
Boll is due in Vancouver in July to begin production on the super-horror film Seed. In Seed, the main character is subject to a failed electrocution and desperate officials bury him alive.
"He digs himself out of the grave and goes on a revenge trip," Boll said.
Once Seed is completed, Boll will go to work on Postal in late September.
The top five critics who sign up to fight him will be flown to Vancouver and will be extras in Postal. Five, 10-round fights will be staged over the last two days of filming and scenes from the matches will become part of the film, Boll said.
To be eligible, critics must have written at least two negative articles about Boll in 2005.
Boll said he has already received offers to fight him, but not from those critics he feels are qualified for the punch-up.
