The guy is an ahole who kind of deserved it but more than anything else, I'm pissed off at the people that keep hiring this guy to make the movies. Look at his track record. Almost all his movies go on "worst movies of " lists and yet he keeps getting jobs. I guess they enjoy not having to front the money since he gets his own investors. I'm just glad that only the "B" games ever use him because nobody owning an A title or better is stupid enough to use the guy.

He gets funding for his movies straight from investors in Germany who get massive tax breaks from it and dont care if he makes no money, thats why he can stay in business.


 Not anymore :o)

He is seriously no longer being funded for a tax break? That would be good news indeed.

I know nothing about this guy, what's the problem with his movies?
Are you sure they are not just leaving cuz what he's saying is so dull?

You can't set movie sponsorships off against tax liability anymore since 1.1.2007 in germany. ;)

Hey now....BloodRayne wasn't that bad....ok ok it was pretty bad but it was watchable at least. Well maybe that was the booze...damn I can't remember if I watched it sober now =/

Yeah, it's nice that he's doing what he loves but he's hurting franchises while he's doing it. He really does just need to learn that people don't like what he's making and the only people that do watch his movies are the ones that just don't know what they're getting in to.

Also, I really didn't like the part where he talked about how he makes game movies how he thinks they should be. Screw the game plot because that doesn't work in movies (which is true for the most part for most games), it's Uwe's vision now.

Has he ever made a movie that was well received?
