World's Worst Director is Back: Uwe Boll's 'Darfur'

DateWednesday, November 4, 2009 at 8:33AM
I would very much like to begin and program an Uwe Boll Film Festival. It would truly be one of a kind. BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, In the Name of the King, House of the Dead, Postal - how could you go wrong? On second thought, don't answer that.

Boll keeps working, though most of the universe is at a loss as to how. He has four films in production, and managed to work in four movies this year, too. All of this on the heels of this year's Lifetime Achievement Award from the Razzies, which is not the sort of thing you go to film school in hopes of attaining.

One of his many upcoming films is Darfur, which as you can imagine, is Uwe's sensitive, artistic interpretation of one of the worst genocides in modern civilization. Gee, I wonder if there will be blood. Actually, in the interest of fairness, the first minute or more of the Darfur trailer is pieced together pretty well. Then it loses all credibility (not that it had much going in) by containing an obvious misspelling. When was the last time you saw that in a trailer? Irony Man? Angles & Demons?

There's no release date yet, nor does Darfur have a distributor. It might get picked up at the American Film Market this weekend. Let's hope if someone does buy the rights, there's a proofreader on staff.

Colin, get a hold of the Midnite Movie Mamacita and get that Uwe Boll Film Festival going!!! We'd probably get an appearance by the good Doctor to top it all off.
