Postal The Movie Coming

39

Running 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.

      I think Mortal Kombat and Doom already did the job 13 years ago (that is if you're talking about the violence. I guess the same could be said with the movies too, heh.)

        Yeah, but these guys are doing violence for the sake of being controversial. Their games are ONLY popular because they are controversial/politically incorrect/etc. I've played Postal 2, and it's a fucking lame game, riddled with bugs and as far as FPSs go, its engine/artwork looked like games at least 3 generations prior to it. I love GTA3, for example, and have no problem with the violence and political incorrectness there. Postal 2 was just a steaming pile.

      Because all games should be Mario, right? I guess all movies should be Disney and Pixar, and nothing with questionable material in it.

        Have you seen what animated films are coming out? Like all the SHIT Dreamworks is pumping out? Seriously, they aren't going near anything "controversial" or "edgy." It's rediculous. How many more animated films where cutesy little animals that talk make wise cracks about pop culture do we have to be subjected to?

        Even though this movie will suck because it's Mr. Boll behind the camera, at least it wont be another politically correct harmless talking animal film.
