Postal The Movie Coming
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 24, 2005 7:55am PDTRunning With Scissors sends along this press release, announcing that they have signed "a suicide pact" with movie director Uwe Boll to create a Postal movie. Boll had previously mentioned that Postal was one of his favorite games, so it's no real surprise this is happening. Hey at least it will take time away from him molesting a good game franchise right?
"Uwe Boll is the perfect producer-director to make POSTAL," affirmed Running With Scissors' CEO Vince Desi. "He understands the subject matter and has an appreciation and affinity for controversy and political incorrectness. POSTAL has always been about reason and insanity, violence and motivation; producer-director Uwe Boll is simply the right guy to bring that vision to the screen." The man behind the camera, Hollywood outsider Uwe Boll ranks POSTAL as his personal, all-time favorite video game. "I see it like a mirror for our society -- funny, violent, absurd!" he declared. "So then the movie must be powerful, strange, and so full of the game's political incorrect outrageousness that if we do it correct, we will all probably end up in jail!"The movie will start shooting in 2006 for a 2007 release.

The game was just a laugh, its a good laugh, its not exactly that bad if you realise its just a laugh and hopefully they will set this out in the film.
Look at a film like Sin City, brilliant, but not much of that is politicaly acceptable, goign aroudn shooting people, how many films have that, this is just a extra notch higher, mwahahaaa!

I cannot believe that they don't know of this 'man' by his reputation, or that they have seen any of his previous work and that would convince them that he's the right man for their IP.
Can someone please get an interview with a dev/publisher that's had a project shat on by this guy and get thier angle on it?

Hell, playing the game got tiring after making a flaming head cactus tree for the tenth time in a row. This movie will probably have a lot of the same stupid crap the game did.
I have very VERY low expectations for this movie. VERY LOW...
It would be pretty hard to fuck this movie up.

This could be awesome. Like in pac man when you go so far off the edge of the screen you loop back around to the other side, this could be so incredibly atrocious it loops back around to awesome.
