I feel like the bearer of bad news. But all opinions aside, here it goes.
Uwe Boll has just acquired the rights to the unreleased action role playing game, LEGEND: HAND OF GOD. You heard me correctly, another game and this time it’s one that has yet to be widely loved and cherished before it’s ultimately desecrated on the silver screen. The game is being produced by leading German interactive group, Master Creating. Dr. Boll had this to say:
“I think LEGEND will be very successful because of its unique blend of high fantasy and dark atmosphere. The world of LEGEND contains major crossover potential and was already adapted as novel and audio book” says Boll from the set of Far Cry, which he currently works on in Vancouver with Til Schweiger, Ralf Möller and Udo Kier.
“LEGEND is one of the select interactive entertainment franchises that transcends the video game genre and appeals to mainstream entertainment audiences,” said Jan Beuck, Creative Director and co-founder of Master Creating. “We are proud that LEGEND – Hand of God will be the second game from Germany that makes its way to the big screen and look forward to a great cooperation with Dr. Boll”.
Uwe Boll expects the film’s budget to be in the 40 million mark and looks to shoot it early in 2009. The game will be released in Germany on October 12, while it’s expected to be released in the US during Quarter 1 of 2008.
Exactly what I was thinkin…but from me to you
