Time to start an affirmative-action campaign to stop this. House of the Dead was one of the worst movies I have EVER seen… and I’ve seen The Bodyguard.

Really, the movie was totally amature-hour. Horribly made in every aspect of filmmaking… from story, script, cinematography, acting, directing, editing, special FX, especially the FX, everything.

And now they want to make a sequel. I don’t know why, the movie didn’t make much money and the critics hated it. It cost $12 million to make and grossed $10 million at the box office.

And as though Uwe Boll was actually able to translate one videogame to the screen (and if you’ve played HotD… the movie is NOTHING like it, save for a zombie and a small cabin that they’re in for about 20 minutes) they’re giving him two more video game-to-movies. Alone in the Dark was a popular adventure game franchise in the 90’s, but now that’s in post-production (starring Christian Slater). Unless Uwe Boll’s been tapped on the head by an angel and granted some talent, this will be another bomb.

Finally, the director’s been given Bloodrayne… a video game that was as financially and critically successful as the HotD movie! The movie will keep the central “good-guy, hotness vampiress”, but chuck out every other part of the videogame’s story. Oh, and they’re working on a Bloodrayne 2. As a publicity stunt, they’re getting the 3D character to appear on the MTV awards. Normally, a successful franchise generates a pop-culture icon like Lara Croft. It seems that they’re trying to create a pop-culture icon in order to generate a successful franchise!

The question has been answered. I’ve been told countless times, “They have no new ideas anymore. Everything is a remake, sequel or spin-off of a successful movie/videogame/comic book/tv show. What happens when they run out of those?!?” The answer: do remakes and sequels to the unsuccessful movies, videogames, comic books and tv shows.

The point of this rant is, can someone stop HotD 2 from being made? Please?
