Uwe Boll making movie based on nonexistent Wii game

by JC Fletcher { Sep 28th 2007 at 5:15PM }

Zombie Massacre is barely a glimmer in developer 1988 Games' collective eye. They've got a rocking concept-- you're driving into the center of a zombie-plagued city in a vintage convertible, attempting to drop off a nuclear weapon-- but no game at the time. No engine, no screenshots, just a concept. And controversial German "film director"/pugilist Uwe Boll is already after it.

That's fine, though. It would be impossible to ruin a silly, campy concept like that, even if you are the brains (braaaaains) behind the House of the Dead movie. It lends itself to light-hearted horror/comedy. "I want to make this movie more creepy than House of the Dead, which was intended to be funny and campy," said Boll. "I'd like Zombie Massacre to be a harsh zombie movie like 28 Days Later."

We stand corrected. Apparently it is possible to ruin that concept. The man is a master of what he does.

Uwe Boll won't be able to match a movie as epic as either of the 28 Later movies.

Wasn't BloodRayne and exactly what the world DIDN'T need? A bad movie, based on a bad game...

Uwe Boll must be stopped. This man is a plague upon the gaming community.

Yay Jonathan Frakes!

He was the perfect counter to Stewart's stuffiness as Picard

But as for this, i really don't know what to say, i really don't

Damnit, Boll. Give me 2 months to play this game before you ruin it for me. That's all I ask. You can the movie into whatever the hell you want then. Just please, this is the best concept I've heard for a 4-player co-op in years. Don't make us hate it before we can even buy it.

I'm going to see one of Uwe Boll's movies, Postal, tonight at a film fest. We'll see how it goes...there really isn't much story to ruin from the Postal series of games. I've never seen a Boll movie (for good reason) but I'm hoping this is somewhat entertaining!

The only thing I can remember from the first game was the hand-drawn levels and the option of pushing X to commit suicide. And fire-bombing the marching band. Yeah, that was a very, very deep game...
