Uwe Boll Has Three Picture Distribution Deal
1up is reporting that famed, beloved film-maker Uwe Boll has landed a three-picture deal with a company called FreeStyle. They're going to be releasing three Boll-helmed films to theatres across the country. The three films are Postal, Dungeon Siege, and an original work by the director called Seed. "The high-profile cast of In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale -- Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Ron Perlman, Leelee Sobieski, John Rhys-Davies, Matthew Lillard and Burt Reynolds -- means Freestyle's putting their muscle behind the fantasy epic. Opening January 18, 2008, the film's scheduled to appear in at least 2,500 screens -- a nice score for Boll, considering BloodRayne's distribution problems."

How does this happen?

I'll be interested to see how Seed turns out. Boll has always claimed that his films have been limited by the production companies wanting them to strongly reflect the games they're based on. With Seed being free from these constraints, we'll see if he can put his money where his mouth is.

Is there no god?
