Uwe Boll's Far Cry Movie Trailer

The ever so infamous Uwe Boll is back, with a vengeance. After a string of not completely terrible films (two of his most recent, Tunnel Rats and Rampage, currently hold a 4.4 and 6.6 on IMDb), Boll has apparently decided to return to his roots: completely terrible video game adaptations. Next in line for the Boll blight is Crytek's Far Cry.

Based on the best-selling videogame franchise that sold over 3 million copies, Director Uwe Boll (In the Name of the King, Bloodrayne) unleashes his latest non-stop action thriller Far Cry on DVD November 24 from Vivendi Entertainment. Til Schwiger (Inglourious Basterds), Udo Kier (Grindhouse), and Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw IV) star in the action-packed story of a reporter who investigates the deaths of mercenaries on an island off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Jack Carver (Schweiger), a retired special forces officer, escorts star journalist, Valerie (Vaugier), on the trail of a story on a mysterious island off the Pacific Northwest. Upon docking, they are attacked and pursued by a squad of mercenaries employed by scientist, Dr. Krieger (Udo Kier). In their attempt to escape, they uncover Dr. Krieger’s secret lab and unleash the genetically engineered beasts that he’s created.

The less-than-faithful adaptation will be dropping direct to DVD on November 24th, courtesy of Vivendi Entertainment (wait, aren't they the guys who own Blizzard?... uh oh). From the early buzz, it's apparently just as bad, if not worse, than what you'd expect from an Uwe Boll adaptation. DreadCentral calls it, "what you get when Uwe Boll stops trying.” Lovely. I think the real question is, who keeps selling him the rights to these games?
