Boll sues Billy Zane May. 2, 2008
Comments: 17

\"\"

Uwe Boll Notoriously terrible filmmaker and pugilistic antogonizer is continuing his reign of terror by suing actor Billy Zane, claiming Zane owes him 700,000 dollars in revenues from the 2005 mega-flop BLOODRAYNE. More specifically, Boll claims that Zane was the one who suggested Romar Entertainment distribute the film and that Romar president James Schramm promised the film would open in 2000 theaters. Moreover, Zane received a pay-out of 900,000 dollars and the film only opened in 950 theaters. Either Boll's strapped for cash or he's looking for financing for his next series of painfully horrible video game adaptations.

Extra Tidbit: Anybody ever think that Boll is a diabolical genius who purposely makes atrocious films? Seriously, the guy's amassed a ludicrous amount of fame for doing this. Maybe he knows exactly what he's doing.

Maybe if we stop giving him so much attention he'll just go away?... err.. maybe not. We should all pool some money together for an assassination =P

Billy Zane deserves the money as compensation for being in another Boll shitpile special.

Boll is suing Billy Zane? The Phantom guy that nobody has cared about for the past decade or so? I agree with Taldaran...Uwe Boll hopes to have Burton make a film outta' him. Unless you know, Burton pukes at the idea the moment it crosses his mind. Boll's not a genius. He's just a regular prick / dickhead / cockface who's famous (for all the wrong reasons) enough to have his voice heard. Billy Zane is desperate enough to star in Bloodrayne and now Boll wants to sue to poor chap? C'mon, leave the guy alone he's probably f'n low on self esteem already for being ignored by everyone.

It's very possible! He could be a genius making shitty movies on purpose. Especially with the education he has, he should be able to do these things better, yet he doesn't. I think that he's just really mediocre and doesn't strain himself to do much better because of his surprise fame. After House of the Dead he probably was pissed with himself but with the fame he got he figured it must be working pretty well for him, so keep it up.

I blame the people who hire him. Who backs this guy with his track record? I saw POSTAL and that movie cost 20 million, but it didn't nearly look it. What a waste of funds.

A) Him sueing Billy Zane is absurd, but who knows the truth? B) I think the "Extra Tidbit" is correct. I think he knows exactly what he is doing with all these awful films he is making. Please bear in mind, that thanks to a tax loop (recently disabled) in Germany, the studio that backed most of his films (maybe all) made money if the film failed. So, now, he just needs to make one under the new tax laws, then I'll judge. FYI- Postal, is his first film under the new tax laws.

The guy is a walking joke. Not only does he make terrible movies, but his attitude towards critics is the most pathetic and immature shit I've ever seen from a director. Even if that petition reaches 1 000 000 signatures, he'll likely continue to direct crap films like nothing happened.

Yeah, but fame to what end? Everybody thinks he's a douche. And a ludicrous amount of fame? No. On sites like these, maybe, but 90% of my friends would have no idea who this guy is.
