Uwe Boll Will Sell You ‘Rampage 3’ For Only $100
I’ll be the first to admit that Uwe Bolls’ 2010 Rampage is not only his best movie, but also an enjoyable one (review).
The sequel, Rampage: Capital Punishment, released this past August, not so much (read Patrick’s review).
I was actually excited about the sequel, only to realize that there’s not much more Boll can say, and that a tighter sequel budget really put the hurt on Billy Williamson’s political carnage.
Even though nobody is demanding it, Boll has enlisted Brendan Fletcher to pitch you on why you should help them finance Rampage 3: No Mercy.
The project has been launched on Indiegogo with a campaign goal of a mere $100k (that’s surprisingly low for such an action-heavy franchise). The catch – as of this writing – is that you can’t actually buy the DVD or Blu-ray until the $100 tier. Yes, that means for $20 you only get a “thank you,” while $40 nets you a commentary mention and end credit thanks. But no copy of the movie – not even a digital download. Yeah, no thanks.
But if you’re rich and dying to see this happen, Boll promises that Rampage 3 will have way more action than the sequel, which was pretty damned gory if you ask me.
The 10th anniversary celebrations of Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight brought no shortage of announcements last night, including the reveal that Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s feature adaptation has found its director.
The Damned filmmaker Thordur Palsson has been tapped to helm the adaptation, producers Jason Blum and Stephen Mulrooney announced on stage last night.
“There is no better moment than the tenth anniversary to share this news. Thordur is the filmmaker we trust to carry Dead by Daylight from the screen you play on to the big screen you watch in theaters,” said Jason Blum, founder and CEO of Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
“For me, the main thing is capturing the feeling of playing Dead by Daylight,” said Palsson. “The main thing is I want to capture the feeling of looking over your shoulder. I want to capture the dread, the tension, the fear of what’s waiting for you in The Fog.”
The “scary cinematic adaptation” of the Behaviour Interactive video game will be written by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick (Orphan, Aquaman, The Conjuring 2) and French master of horror Alexandre Aja (High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D, Crawl).
Launched in 2016, the popular Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer slasher video game that pits characters up against slasher maniacs both original and iconic to the world of horror.
Expect to visit iconic backdrops like The MacMillan Estate and Greenville in the adaptation, which is expected to begin production in 2027.
