FAR CRY HEADS FOR THE BIG SCREEN
$25m movie on the cards for amazing Ubi Soft FPS?
17:11 Director Uwe Boll has signed up Crytek's advanced first-person shooter Far Cry as his latest movie project, according to trade paper the Hollywood Reporter.
Producer and director Boll, whose previous game-to-movie credits include last year's rather questionable House of the Dead, currently has four additional game-to-movie projects in the offing including Bloodrayne, Dungeon Siege, Fear Effect and Hunter: The Reckoning.
Boll is also apparently in post-production on an Alone in the Dark movie starring Christian Slater, Tara Reid and Stephen Dorff as well as considering a sequel to House of the Dead.
How does he find the time?
Boll who appears to be cornering the horror-survival game-to-movie genre all to himself is apparently planning a $25 million Far Cry movie which will begin shooting in 2005. Shawn Williamson, Boll's partner at Brightlight Pictures, is expected to partner the director on the production and apparently told the Hollywood Reporter without the least hint of irony that, "the story will be incredibly frightening."
And while I'm not up to speed on the story of Far Cry (Which I believe is a sci-fi action game, and not a horror) 25 million is a pretty small amount of money, especially for a game like Far Cry. Still I suppose he could use the same trick he did in house of the dead and cut in bits of the game, though that make what ever special effects are thrown in there look even more awful.
