Infamous game-to-movie director Uwe Boll is in the process of creating what he calls "the biggest media crossover in history." Boll's attempts to wed game and film include House Of The Dead and Bloodrayne, as well as the upcoming Far Cry. Boll claims that he could hardly contain himself from revealing his next project, so he let a few details of it slip. The article is pretty weird. In it he says that in the past, critics have accused his movies of having little to do with the original games' plot lines. Instead of making one two hour movie based on one video game, and having to spread out one story over a two hour period, he has decided to get a bunch of popular film licenses and create an epic trilogy combining various game characters into a multi-threaded plotline. If that doesn't sound strange enough, he said that he's toying around with the idea of setting it in a modern city, such as New York, but will most likely have it span multiple gaming worlds. When asked about the licenses that he has acquired for this trilogy, he became uncharacteristically tight-lipped, but managed to drop a few hints. He claimed to have been talking closely with Hideo Kojima, creator of Metal Gear, and mentioned something about a certain Bandicoot that likes to jump on things. There are some other clues in the article that I couldn't figure out, like "You might end up seeing the White Lady and the Blue Child." I scanned the article so you could look at it:

Bizarre.
what a dickhead.
might turn out good. hes bound to make a great game movie one day by luck alone with how many he does. may be even better than super mario bros
That's not hard considering the Super Mario Bros. movie was a piece of shit.
Ok, I'm just going to stop this, because apparently that link isn't working. Either that, or nobody even clicked it, because it's a picture of a fat chick with a guy's head up her vagina. How anybody could really think this is true, I don't know. It is the worst idea for a movie ever conceived. I mean, come on. Solid Snake and Crash Bandicoot in World Of Warcraft? I'm ashamed.

No. Just no.
Michael Bay makes better movie than Uwe Boll; that's a big compliment to Michael Bay.
