Thoughts: In The Name of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale



I was hanging out at a friend's last night when the trailer for In The Name of The King came on TV.

"What the hell is that?"

"Oh, it's some video game based thing by that awful director guy with the weird name. Bowel or something."

"Uwe Boll??? Oh NO."

Why does this man get to continue to make movies? And how on earth does he get any recognizable talent in his movies? It depresses me. And that trailer just looks hideous. And the posters suck. Whenever I see crap like this being produced I'm just baffled. I really don't understand how In The Name of The King gets made and yet so many better scripts never see the light of day. Why would you want to pour money and time and energy into something that has no redeeming value whatsoever?

It makes me a little bitter.

If you haven't seen it, you may not want to. But the trailer if you're curious:



Also. This other poster is so much better than the one in American Cineplexes:



Not that a cooler poster will make it any better. Uwe Boll is beyond help.

About This Thing

This blog is about film and life in the wonderful world of LA. I'm a filmmaker just getting started; I'm navigating my way through the industry, trying to find work, and sometimes even managing to make a living.

I've worked across the country on projects big and small. Everything from an indie in PA shot during the dead of winter to one of the bigger reality shows involving Models and the things they do.

I also just love doing things*. I'm a writer, aspiring director, wannabe photographer and cook. I waste too much time on the internet and sometimes all I want to do is hang out with my dog.

Stick around and chances are you'll catch me writing about it all.

*I use the word "thing" a lot. An inappropriate amount. I can't help it. There are just so many different things to talk about. And I just kind of like it.
