He used to be indecisive.

German filmmaking loony Uwe Boll has optioned yet another videogame for movie adaptation. Actually, it's difficult to describe Dr. Boll as a filmmaker just yet - he owns a lot of options, but his House of the Dead qualifies as a film only by the skin of its rotting teeth, while his Alone in the Dark picture isn't finished yet.

Still, when he's done with the Christian Slater/AOTD adaptation, he's got a wealth of options to pick from for his next outing, and the latest of those according to Cinescape is Crytek's forthcoming first-person shooter Far Cry, which plonks a forgetful lead on an island paradise and shoots at them quite a lot.

Far Cry is expected to begin shooting on a $25 million budget in 2005, but not much is known about the status of any of Boll's other film options, including BloodRayne, Hunter: The Reckoning, Dungeon Siege, and most recently Fear Effect. Still, he's definitely got the makings of a B-movie horror career sprawled out in front of him.

Cuh. Bring on Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
