Gentlemen Start Your Keyboards: Uwe Boll's Newest Trailer
Filed under: Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy
In between finishing his latest movie, starting up his next TWO, and threatening to beat the snot out of any film critics who don't like it, Dr. Uwe Boll has also found time to string together an all-new trailer for his next magnum opus. The good news is that it's not a horror movie; the bad news is that, yes, it's another movie based on a video game. (Well, based on a video game and every movie from Lord of the Rings to Krull, it seems.)It's called In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, as if to imply that there might be more than one tale worth telling, yikes, and it stars (get this) Jason Statham (Transporter!), Matthew Lillard (Shaggy!), Burt Reynolds (Bandit!), John Rhys-Davies (Sallah!), Leelee Sobieski (Helen Hunt Jr!), DTV Queen Claire Forlani, Ron Perlman (Hellboy!), Kristanna Loken (Bloodrayne!), Will Sanderson (who?), and a very nefarious-looking Ray Liotta! Jeez o man ... I look at it this way: If I were at a backyard barbecue, and the aforementioned actors got really drunk, threw on some Mordor costumes, and started slapping each other with swords ... damn, that'd be fun to watch.
Originally rumored to be a sprawling two-part epic, Dungeon Siege now looks to be your standard adventure movie length, thank jeebus for small favors. And despite the fact that I've seen and appropriately ridiculed every Uwe Boll movie out there, I must admit that I can't wait to see THIS one! Mwaha!

This is a joke.... please someone tell me this is some sort of sick joke...
Is the game promoting the movie or the movie promoting th game??
Granted it was a good game... but still Microsoft has gone too far, first a Halo film, now this.
Although I will admit they did a good job of renaming it so it doesn't sound too much like the game's title. If people call it "In the Name of the King" it will have a good chance. If they call it "Dungeon Siege: The Movie" it will bomb.

I feel kind of bad for Jason Statham as he appears to be the only person acting in this movie while everyone else seems to be sleepwalking, with the exception of Ray Liotta, who is channeling Dennis Hopper (much like Jeremy Irons in the DnD movie). Given that Statham is playing his usual Jason Statham bad-ass character, he probably isn't putting too much effort into it though.

Who did the casting for this one? Somebody watching a movie marathon on TBS? What is burt reynolds doing in a dungeon siege movie?
And the explanation, of course, is Uwe Boll.
I'd take a celebrity boxing offer from him anyday.
