Jintor said:Man, why couldn't he direct the Halo movie instead?
He's the executive producer, not the director... although he will be heavily involved.DEATH eVADER said:Because a good director is actually making it, all hail Peter Jackson!
OCybrManO said:I haven't been following the Halo movie... they may very well have switched to a different director.
I'd love to see Mel Gibson's take - it'd be crazy as shit, and Master Chief would end up crucified or some shit... could be funDEATH eVADER said:You have a choice between:
Mel Gibson
Mal Brooks
M Night Shyamalan
pick wisely
CptStern said:how Uwe Boll gets funding for films:
"Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government." - Uwe Boll
"Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.
His films were financed, produced, and directed by a German company, which was the initial intention behind the tax shelter: to provide incentive for German companies to invest in entertainment properties. Unfortunately, many American studios used these same tax exemptions to reap the same benefits. The law merely required that the movie's copyright be owned by a German company; thus studios would "sell" a movie's rights to a German company, then immediately lease the movie back for a small fee, while the German owners would agree to very limited control. Essentially, the German company would own the movie on paper, but have no say over its production. [4] Because of this, in January of 2006, as had been expected for several months, the German legislature changed the country's tax laws to elminate the tax shelter. [5] It is not known if this will have any effect on Boll's funding as the new laws only seek to punish investors who are abusing the law for tax purposes; Boll's activities appear to be well within the legitimate usage of the tax shelter." ;(
Never played Far Cry. Thx for ruining it, SulkySulkdodds said:Actually Far Cry would make a good dumb action film if done right. Steven-Segal-alike ex-spec-ops mariner takes beautiful photojournalist who's actually a CIA agent out to a remote string of islands. Photojournalist is kidnapped by mercenaries and like the big hero he is, Carver tries and rescues her, thus uncovering a crazy scientist building a mutant army. He rescues Val, they nuke the lab, blah blah. It's chunky.
