When people say the name Uwe Boll, some might think of a disgusting, slimy bug that eats crap for a living. Members of the gaming community, on the other hand, envision a disgusting, slimy human that makes crap for a living. Uwe Boll has been the producer/director of several massive box-office failures based on videogames.

Recently Uwe mentioned Metal Gear Solid, the legendary stealth action franchise as a movie he’d ‘do as early as 2007.’ In a recent podcast, Hideo Kojima, creator of the Metal Gear series said, “Absolutely not. I don’t know why Uwe Boll is even talking about this kind of thing. We never talked to him. It’s impossible we would do a movie with him.”

Suck it, Uwe.

you’d think Uwe would have already paid back satan by making two crap videogame movies that kill people’s will to live and destroy their souls by taking all joy and light from their lives… but, y’know, i guess not… i really hope he never even breathes in the direction of Metal Gear Solid…


Hayter has already done Xmen, anyone other than him would make it crap, but in hollywood it has the plotline of mission impossible and tom cruise has already done a great job of making them junk.
