DIRECTOR UWE BOLL ABOUT USING GAME FOOTAGE IN THE MOVIE


Read here Director Uwe Bolls letter about using game footage in the movie.
Please e-mail us your opinion.

Hey guys,
I'm Uwe Boll and I read your concerns about using game footage in the movie.
Don't worry I'm not using any game footage to tell the story etc. - but it
works well to use the stuff in the beginning credits where an animation girl
is dying and saying: YOU MUST STOP CURIEN... ; because this pay's off in the
end of the movie. And in the movie sometimes I use a shot as opticals like:
we are in a scene as and then we cut to a Zombie from the game - we zoom into
the eye from the Zombie and in the eye is coming up the next scene with the
real actors. I think we have a chance here to tell the story unkonventional
(remember LOLA RUN) and interesting.
And we have so many gory effects (compare to RESIDENT EVIL where you never
saw a real gory blood effect) that I think for the rating it's helpful to
have in some parts opticals from the game to show the rating guys: "Hey its
only a game!"
For me it is tricky because I'm forced to deliver a R-RATING movie. I hope
someone is releasing later also the directors cut!
Best
Uwe
