uwe bolls sues billy zane

[yorrick brown]

Director Uwe Boll has sued actor Billy Zane in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming he's owed at least $700,000 in revenues from the 2006 boxoffice flop Bloodrayne. Boll claims in the April 30 filing that Zane was the one who suggested Romar Entertainment handle distribution of the film. Zane and Romar principal James Schramm allegedly promised the film would open in 2,000 theaters and that a $10 million advance from Boll would be used for advertising and promotion. But at least $900,000 was paid out to Zane and Schramm and the movie opened in only 950 theaters, Boll claims. The film's budget was $25 million and brought in just under $4 million at the worldwide boxoffice (ouch).

Maybe Boll can get some money out of his fight with Michael Bay if Bay agrees to it.

Uwe Boll. hahahahaha.. even his name sounds horrible.

[KcMsterpce]

This has been around since the movie was released. I have no idea how this movie would have been any more successful if it was on 2000 screens. Just a waste of money and screen use, IMO.

KC everytime I see your name I think of KC Masterpiece, and then I think of how good the KFC recipe is for fried chicken.

Just thought id throw it out there.

[The Postmaster General]

Seems like he has a good case, depending on if he can prove this. It sounds like a verbal agreement, and well...


^^John Locke... KC Masterpiece is a BBQ sauce. I don't know if they use it at KFC...

[JohnLocke2342]

haha oh I know. but BBQ leads me to chicken which leads me to KFC which leads me to how good it is which leads me to this ridiculous sentence. :confused:

He's really just suing him because Billy Zane is a sexy bastard.

He's still sexy though. I'd still hit it.

[Tagia_Romero]

I can't believe that he actually made The Phantom's purple body suit look masculine. What a MIRACLE. :D

[JJFlamingo]

Boll should be countersued for making a shitty movie instead...:D

That's cool, but it's actually my Rap name. I was going to be a famous rapper, until Eminem fucked everything up for me (me being white and nerdy and all).

My name was going to be "Kc MastuhPeace", with my first album being called "MastuhPeace Theatuh".
I even had a line about how I'd "wrap (rap) you with my rhymes using the MixMastuh Sauce".

But alas, I'm stuck posting distant dreams on a movie site.

But she just broke off the engagement to Zane. She said "he wasn't the one". Poor Billy boy. :(
