Isn't that an Uwe Boll movie? The most hated movie director in the world - at least among gamers, as he has butchered a few video game franchises (In the Name of the King is based on Dungeon Siege if I recall correctly), and I believe he's making a mockery of a few more at the moment.
I've only seen BloodRayne myself, and it was definately horrible. And it's not like I have particularly high standards when it comes to mindless action entertainment
.
His "House of the Dead" is currently number 34 on the IMDB bottom top 100.
I found this particular quote from a recent news article at EuroGamer particularly funny (and to the guy's credit, he must have a sense of humour about his own work, as he's apparantly the source here):
"Renegade film director Uwe Boll has told MTV that he approached Blizzard for the film rights to World of Warcraft.
He was not-so-politely refused. According to Boll, "I got in contact with [chief operating officer] Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you... especially not to you.'""
