Fresh from luring journalists to his film set so he can beat them up, German director Uwe Boll has reportedly confirmed that he's up to direct a sequel to BloodRayne - last year's critically savaged adaptation of Terminal Reality's action game of the same name.
1UP says that the director - also a veteran of Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead adaptations, and currently at work on a film about Running With Scissors' Postal game series - confirmed the news via email earlier this week.
There's no word on any details yet, or whether original cast members Kristanna Loken, Michelle Rodriguez, Ben Kingsley or Michael Madsen are likely to reprise their roles, but since the last three died in the first film and Kristanna already had inexplicable plot-breaking sex against a prison cell, it's possible he'll mix it up with some new blood.

He won a boxing match you know.
Against some wheezing hacks. So he is, obviously, a good director. |

Sorry Stickman. You only win the internet when you can defeat the mighty Boll in mano a mano combat.

Does the T-shirt have a backprint that says 'But I do admire his tax dodge scam' ? Get it screen printed anyway - I smell an eBay killing!

@Freek: Of course not, they killed off half the cast in the first movie. Why the hell would they make a sequel without both Book and Wash?

"BloodRayne
Budget $25 Million Gross $3,591,980 chance of a sequel = nil " You'd think that, but there were a lot of theories floating about that the film was really being done as a tax dodge, because it received most of its funding from a German government scheme. That would certainly be the only reasonable explanation for why people carry on giving Uwe money to make films. |

Leaving aside all the Boll stuff for a moment, I'd say the other most prescient question is: since when did "BloodRayne" warrant even one film, let alone two? Were the games (I'm assuming there was more than one, I don't even know) popular, or well reviewed? Is the series even still ongoing? Why on earth would anyone choose this obscure, middling series to make a film out of?
Oh, wait, it's Boll. Nuff said. |

@Sl1pstream & Freek & any other firefly flans.
that is a quote totally out of context from whedonesque.com where his royal jossness was squashing a rumour that he'd implied that a sequel was in the pipeline. he quite categorically did not say no sequel ever, just that nothing's lined up. he's actually been quite vocal about still having stories to tell in the verse. there's already a second comic run in production and the hope of a film sequel isn't dead, just resting. /crosses fingers |

I just want to know WHY THE HELL these studios and producers fund his films? His last 10 or so movies have been utter garbage, he keeps losing everyone's money, he's ruining his own reputation, everybody hates him and he's ruining several other franchises too! So now we got BloodRayne 2 in the works, Postal coming soon, he also has the rights to Far Cry and Fear Effect. This guy is single-handedly ruining game/movie adaptions. Even Paul Anderson is better than him!
And as for anyone who thinks his movies are good; I'm a student of film myself and I know what I'm talking about. He really is a bad filmmaker. Someone needs to stop the "Raging Boll." |
