by Steve Gibson, Jan 17, 2008 10:48am PSTHere we present a preview of the latest Uwe Boll masterpiece that may or may not come to a theater! There's been no actual release date set for this, but what we can tell you is that the plot points include spoofs of 9/11 and Jewish culture.

Uwe recently said that he's stepping away from big budget movies after his latest box office failure. In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale had a budget of around $70 million, and pulled in roughly $3 million on opening week. So if you ever start to get down on yourself, feeling like you don't have any real talent, take heart: Boll is proof positive you can be a worthless dingleberry of society and still make millions of dollars.

Mike J from Running With Scissors (POSTAL Developer) here! Let me tell ya, POSTAL is definately not the best movie you will ever see....but on the scale of Uwe to 10 this movie ranks a HELL of a lot higher then ANY movie he has ever made. I dont care how or if you see the movie, but let me tell ya, UWE SHOULD ONLY MAKE SLAPSTICK COMEDIES. He cant direct anything serious and shouldnt even try. Seems like comedy is his niche, as the movie doesnt even REMOTELY take itself seriously.
While POSTAL The Movie isnt great, its definately a step in the right direction on Uwe's part. He should have burned all 60 million dollars worth of Dungeon Siege footage and just released POSTAL...O well. Heres to hoping it comes out sometime sooon :|

RWS (running with scissors, makers of postal) most probably selected Uwe to make this movie exactly because of the theme and motif of the game. Postal is a game that is supposed to Shock and Offend in every little aspect. Uwe as the Director was the only choice (available =) to make a movie out of that game. Seriously, who would`ve directed a movie based on Postal and retain that whole craziness that is the game? Spielberg? Woo? Andrzej Bartkowiak (Doom director)?
Anyway, I`ll see it on DVD or ... *gasp* if it accidentally shows up on google video like "3Fast3Furious" (Tokyo Drift). Might be fun, as was playing Postal... or just a horrendous bomb!
