Notorious German filmmaker Uwe Boll – best known for his oft derided video game movie adaptations like Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, House of the Dead, Far Cry, Postal, and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale – is retiring from filmmaking.
As reported by the Toronto Metro, Boll has chosen to retire from the film industry as he was no longer making money from it. In fact, he claims that he was losing capital by financing his movies himself.
“The market is dead,” Boll said. “You don’t make any money anymore on movies because the DVD and Blu Ray market worldwide has dropped 80 per cent in the last three years. That is the real reason; I just cannot afford to make movies.”
