Uwe Boll, Director of ‘Rampage,’ Has Waged War On Video Game Adaptation ‘Rampage’
Be careful, Uwe. You don’t want to piss off The Rock.
Another day, another wild series of tweets from director Uwe Boll. Just last month, Boll accused Paul Thomas Anderson of stealing the poster design for his BloodRayne and using it for Phantom Thread, and now he’s waging war on another high profile film. Boll, who directed the 2009 action movie Rampage, has a bone to pick with… Rampage.
It’s hard to tell if Boll is even being serious or just trying to get himself in the news again by making yet another ridiculous accusation, but the House of the Dead filmmaker took to Twitter over the weekend to call out Rampage for not only stealing the title of his own Rampage, but also the font used on the 2009 movie’s poster art.
(Never mind that this year’s Rampage is an adaptation of an arcade game from the 1980s, of course, which was in existence long before Boll’s Rampage came along.)
“Fuck this new fake Rampage movie,” Boll tweeted on Friday. “Uwe Boll is going to sue Warner Bros. asshole. Totally serious. Will update soon.”
Boll, who made three films as part of his Rampage franchise, mostly seems to be irate because, he feels, the new monster movie will shrink his brand and his revenues.
He elaborates on his official website, “We are living now in a world where Independent Movies are dead and the big players only are making all the money. That they then use developed brands and ideas from established series such as my Rampage films in order to make even more money is unfair but typical. The new RAMPAGE movie will shrink my brand and my revenues I can make in the future with my RAMPAGE movies. It also confuses the audience!”
“I want that WARNERS change the title, especially because the new movie has nothing to do with a RAMPAGE and looks more like Jumanji 2 and is one of those typical feelgood, popcorn bullshit movies that the studios use to brainwash America even more! All these kind of movies including Transformers, Avengers are helping the military industrial complex in America to win and have retards like Trump be American President who would say that the earth is flat as soon they think they can benefit from this!”

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
