Uwe Boll, Director of ‘Rampage,’ Has Waged War On Video Game Adaptation ‘Rampage’

Published

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!

Matilda Firth Joins the Cast of Director Leigh Whannell’s ‘Wolf Man’ Movie

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
