Boll will stop making movies if one million people sign a petition
Many of us have wondered just what it’d take to get director Uwe Boll to stop making movies.
Now we have an answer: one million signatures on this petition.
During a recent interview with Fear.net to promote his new films, Postal and Seed, the interviewer made Boll aware of the petition to get him to stop making films. When asked how many signatures it would take to get Boll to stop making films, Boll replied, “One million. Now we have a new goal.”
As it stands right now, the petition is 980,000 signatures short.
Ackles lands Valentine lead
Supernatural star Jason Ackles is in final negotiations to play the lead role in Patrick Lussier’s My Blood Valentine 3-D according to the Hollywood Reporter. The horror film is a remake of 1981’s My Bloody Valentine penned by Zane Smith.
Ackles will star as Tom, a “handsome principled man” who returns home to Harmony, Montana ten years after 22 people were murdered on Valentine’s night to catch up with his lost love played by Jaime King and where he’s a murder suspect.
The remake will be produced by Lionsgate. No word yet on a potential release date for the film.
I’m signature number 59,402. Only 940,598 to go. Come on people, everyone knows how bad of director this guy is.
umm. . . Is Orlando Bloom Iranian? I’ve never played the game is it about a European that becomes Prince of Persia?
Can we sign twice? 😉
Orlando Bloom Not the Prince of Persia
Source: ComingSoon.net April 7, 2008
A rumor is spreading fast through the internet (we believe it originated at World Entertainment News Network, aka WENN) that Orlando Bloom has landed a $40 million payday to star in a movie trilogy based on the “Prince of Persian” video game. The rumor stated that he had beaten competition from Zac Efron to take the role and even said that Jerry Bruckheimer will direct.
Walt Disney Pictures, however, tells ComingSoon.net that there is no truth to these rumors.
What we do know so far is that Mike Newell (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) is expected to start shooting Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time soon at Pinewood Studios in the UK and in Morocco as well. Jerry Bruckheimer instead is producing the film, which the studio is targeting for a June 19, 2009 release.
