Most of the gamers on the planet seem to hate Uwe Boll for his poor movies, but the German director doesn't really care about that. With ten movies released in eight years (you can find three of these titles on the IMDB Bottom 100 films list), an online petition initiated by video game fans in order to stop him from creating movies (he said that 1 million signatures would be enough to make him retire) and many beloved game franchises ruined, Uwe Boll is a man that seems to know that bad publicity is publicity nonetheless, and he does everything he can to get some.

In an interview with NY Mag, Boll said that he was the perfect director for a Grand Theft Auto movie. Everybody should stay calm, though - nobody has proposed him anything like that (Rockstar ain't crazy yet) and even he thinks that it will never happen. Still... he would be the best.

"Grand Theft Auto would be super interesting for me, and I think I would actually be the right guy to do it, because my movies are all bloody and violent and I don't have a problem with action scenes. But look, they will go, in the end, with a Michael Bay or a Brett Ratner, and it will be a PG-13 movie made for $150 million. I think it would be better to make a $30 million, very hard, brutal movie without compromising, but I'm not optimistic," he said.

For a game that sold 6 million copies in the first week and generated an income of $500 million, this would definitely be a huge asset in Boll's repertoire. Still... as he said, it will never happen. However, he said that he has the rights to do a Zombie Massacre movie (which means that he's not going to stop directing anyway) and it would be great to shoot the movie together with all the persons who signed the anti-Boll Internet petition. "So as long as we keep shooting something and we do that as a big convention type of thing and then they have all the opportunity to show me how they would do it different, and we have maybe 10,000 zombies running around, I think this could be a good idea for 2009 or 2010 - to do something that maybe nobody has done before, and to have all the people coming together and ripping each other apart on the field, like the pro-Boll and anti-Boll zombies." Uwe said.

Just in case you were still wondering if Uwe lives in the same world as we do...
