He is joking of course.
I mean, what could bring real competition to a new Indiana Jones?
Maybe Ghostbusters with original cast... nah.
Maybe if they were releasing Lord of the Rings NOW...
Maybe if they made a Half-Life movie with the Portal stuff mixed in it...

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

I've never seen an Indy movie but fuck knows it's better than the "Raging Boll" crap.

MasterBalls

and that kids ... is why you don't do crack!!!!

freespeech

Uwe should make a movie about Jack Thompson.

We'll call it...

Uwe Don't Know Jack.

(Help me, I can't stop...)

Spoony Bard

"We will go out and destroy Indiana Jones at the box office!"

That statement made me laugh harder than I have at any comedy in years.

timekeeper402

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh, man, that's funny. I wouldn't be at all surprised if this movie ends up losing its opening weekend to some mid-run art-house flick with English subtitles or something. The only movie I can think of that's coming out this year that would have a snowball's chance of holding its own agains IJ4 is The Dark Knight.

@LUCYMONO: Brawl FC = 3694-9743-2148:
Howard Stern tried that lame talk back when the Star Wars Special Editions were being released. They'd planned them all out for a short interval, then decided that the demand was too high to keep with that schedule so they spaced them out a bit more. The result was that Stern's now-forgotten movie _didn't_ end up coming out opposite (I believe it was) RotJ, and he got on the air spouting crap about how Lucas was too worried about losing the opening weekend to him. I laughed and laughed. As I recall, he lost his opening weekend to every SWSE that had already been released, and probably would have lost to a bunch more if the distributers hadn't been smart enough to avoid that month like the plague.

@sono:
He used to have a steady stream of German funding on account of some tax loophole that they could take advantage of if they funded a movie that lost money. Said loophole was closed, and he switched to working for US-based studios, probably leveraging his long "career" as a director as bait to get studios to bite. But as the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy", so he's going to have a very hard time finding any serious funding from here on out, and won't be likely to put out any big-budget pictures in the near future.

@NegativeGhostrider:
If he managed to bribe every studio to pull their pictures the week his movie was released...he'd still lose. And probably run more than a few theaters into bankruptcy in the meantime.

@tenken:
Except he's never found the right hacktor to play Hitler and sing lighthearted songs...

@2NinjasTapedTogether:
No Nazis. It takes place too long after WWII ended. Commie Russians, which work just about as well as the enemy force, but don't cause legal hassles in terms of getting the film to play in Germany.

Purple Dave

You know whats funny? He might actually do it XD

KreacherOfBloodandRank

I'm going to see Postal. Screw bitch riding Indy.

I bet #100 on the IMDb Bottom 100 list can't wait for May 23rd.

He's like the retarded puppy of the movie industry

Oh God. When I read the headliner, I thought there was gonna be an Indy movie directed by Boll. Thank God that's not it.

Taco Bell™

Please don't tell me that people here think he's serious?

YCS

GASP!!! The Soup Nazi!! AWESOME!!!

excel_excel

Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that if members of his target audience are giving a choice, Postal the Movie, or Indiana Jones 4, they're going to pick Indiana Jones. That's not even taking into account that Postal is a Game Movie, nor that it's direct by Uwe Boll.

Which means he's got it backward. Indiana Jones is going to totally destroy him!

Codexx

ROFLMFAO!!!!

What an idiot.

KM91

@psychobaka: Uwe'd think this would be the case, but Uwe're sadly mistaken. :)

Spoony Bard

To me, this is Uwe's "F*ck the World!" moment. Here's hoping the new Uwe is better than the old one, and from what I hear it may very well be.

psychobaka

@Fyren: Oh don't get me started on the Academy Awards. What a joke.

But compared to the Golden Globes, it's the coolest.

Spoony Bard

He's drunk. He's gotta be.

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

You know, Martin got denied Best Director on Raging Bull.
and countless classic movies thereafter

He finally won on a garbage remake of a Chinese movie.

Shows the validity of the academy, they just gave him the award because they felt bad shafting a great talent all these year.

Fyren

I was going to go see it anyways, but now I'm going to go catch Indy on opening day with a smile on my face from ear to ear. Postal will bomb and Indiana Jones commercials the next weekend will proclaim it "number one movie in America". It's all written in the stars.

benthic

I dont know, this one actually looks pretty good. Think about it, all his movies are high on stupid action and comedy. Which makes most of his "serious" movies bad. On the other hand you have postal which kind of matches his directing style.

I actually have hopes that this movie will not be as bad as the others. The preview looks pretty good to in comparison to the others like Far Cry

ninjikiran

EWVAAAY, how do you expect to destroy the new Indiana Jones movies?

Go around the country physically destroying each and every copy of the film? Cause you sure as fuck aren't beating it out with the actual film.

ManjiKengo

They should have him promote Postal 3 and say that "Postal 3 will outsell Gears of War 2!!!"

...and he'd probably say that as well.

jago.kot

"We will go out and destroy Indiana Jones at the box office!" I think Uwe ordered extra mushrooms on his pizza before running his trap.

jmsalal

He's dreaming.

munkah

First Indiana Jones...next Spielberg...then Lucasfilm...and finally after performing an air raid over the SAG awards, Uwe "Like a God" Boll can settle down in Pango Pango.

acez2087

hey there guys, this is Mike J from Running With Scissors. POSTAL the movie is not the best movie you will ever see....but I'm sure you will laff quite a few times. It is by FAR Boll's best work ever and if you wanna maybe give him one more chance (which im sure you don't) at least this time youll laugh because its supposed to be funny, as opposed to In the Name of The King which i laffed as cuz it was SO terrible. If you live in the Tucson area and wanna see some of the movie hit me up, u can find my info on www.gopostal.com

mikejaret

Oh holy....

I read the title and thought, "Damn, how the hell did Uwe Boll get the franchise rights to Indiana Jones"

Anywho

@Tzero7: That is the best that they can hope for releasing the same day as Indy. Getting all the morons who show up to the theater expecting to see Indy but get turned away from it being sold out. Then they see the Postal poster and say " Hey, the guy on that poster is dressed like Indy. We should see that. I am sure that there is plenty of prime real estate available for that one!"

@Android8675: That's the only way I can see myself ever watching anything by this f*cktard. I won't even waste the bandwidth or hard drive space to download it.

Mr.SithNinja

fuck Indiana Jones I'm seeing postal... seriously... The crystal Skull is going to be sold out.

Tzero7

I'm gonna see Indy then jump theaters to see Postal. Free Postal FTW!

Android8675

I saw Postal last summer, during the Fantasia Movie Festival, here in Montreal. I wouldn't say that it was a great movie, but I did have fun watching it which makes the movie successful because it did what it's supposed to. Postal's better then any of his previous movies (which isn't saying much, I know) and I think if people are even slightly curious about it, they should see it. Just leave good taste out the door before going in to the theaters.

neuralien

Wow I'm kind of sad to hear that Dave Foley of KITH fame would be involved in any Boll film. He must be more hard up for money than I could have ever imagined.

DeeBG

@EmeraldDragon: uwes pre videogame movies are quiet good. but nobody knows them.

radja

The only way he could destroy the Indiana Jones movies is if he made it himself (sorry if someone has already made the joke, I just jumped to comment =p).

DeeBG

We all need our delusions, I guess.

EmeraldDragon

oh come on people. uwe is a very nice person.

radja

Am I the only one to think it's slightly odd that the Postal Dude's shirt has an Alienware logo on it? I don't seem to remember him having anything alien-like in the game on his t-shirt.

I bring this up because really wtf is the point of 'discussing' Boll's movies, we all know it's going to be terrible and bring video-game adaptations yet another terrible name.

scudly

No it won't but he has and will be getting free publicity because of this statement.

19nazzy

+$14 for indy, reading this article is already a letdown for postal in my book

UltimateIdiot

@tenken: BINGO - You just hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what he does - he looks at it as a money-making scheme rather than a creative thing.

Actors who work with him are just looking for a fast and easy paycheck. Everyone has been in one flop or another - why not make it profitable?

Spoony Bard

Well I have to be honest... If I have to make a choice... I would have to see Postal. I mean... It's Postal! I can only imagine what kind of new and different directions the flick will take the entire film industry.

But another Indiana Jones... Nazis, gunfights, great action, witty dialogue. Boring!

2NinjasTapedTogether

Oh no.... not David Foley.

Reuptake

so what's he gonna say on Monday after both movies' release?

icepick314

Oddly enough, it reminds me of "The Producers." Uwe Boll is sitting in the janitorial closet that doubles as his office and suddenly a light comes on: "You know...I could make more money (for myself) with a flop, than with a hit!"

And thus, his career path was made clear! Why spend money to pursue quality when you can more easily and cheaply pursue mediocrity and pocket the difference? :)

tenken

The only reason he says shit like this is so you guys report on it and give him press. I'm just saying...perhaps it's time to enact...

The Bollhammer.

Spoony Bard

Uh... agree. Uwe "Balls"'s statement just an cheap way to say "Please, pretty please, pretty please with suger on top, come to see my movie...."

shadow_judge

That's the spirit Uwe.. Never give up hope.

Garrison Dean

While I think Indy will fall short of expectations, I think it's going to walk all over Postal.

But I have to admit "Raging Boll" is a cool nickname.

Still, he's just shooting his mouth off because any publicity is good publicity and if he can piss people off, then he has their attention. I see him a lot like JT - noisy but incompetent enough to be harmless 99% of the time so I'll just let him babble and not get worked up over it.

fuchikoma

Gotta admit it though, that poster is pretty amusing.

Witzbold

Uwe Boll Challenges Spielberg! Presumably Boll will challenge Spielberg/Ford/Lucas to a boxing match next.

MajorMcMuffin

I'd nearly go to Postal a few times just to spite Spielberg and Ford... Especially Ford!

Vermillionaire

Baked ham, you will pay money for to see his crap..... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

MountainCool

He's just doing this so that when Postal gets crushed by Indiana Jones, he can go on a big whinefest about how his film wasn't given a chance to "shine" because of the "evil and corrupt big-budget hollywood movie" stealing his thunder. If you look back, he plays this blame game with just about every movie he releases.

Lightbunny

His fat mouth is the only way people even hear about his movies

MountainCool

Haha, how about no. There's thinking positive, and then there's just not thinking. Oh well, he seems to like what he does.

Wolfers

@tei: Naw, he'd be doing Indiana Jones: The Movie: The Game: The Movie: The Game: The Movie.

RawSteelUT

AhHahaha..
I mean seriously, what do you say to stupid crap like that? Nothing. You just laugh and point at the silly man.He just wants attention.

heretrix

Yeah Mr. Boll said the same thing about the release of his oh so great Dungeon Siege movie. And we all saw how well that movie worked out!

d43

Uwe Boll better shut his pie hole before somebody kick his balls.

Man that rhymes :)

Playstation

What a fucking tard. lol

aphex242

This guy is a complete and total retard. First of all anything with Speilberg or Harrison Ford written on it dominates the box office plain and simple. He HAS to be saying this just to grab some cheap pub in a desperate attempt to let people know that he has a movie coming out. Secondly, if he has a scene in his craptastic production that "spoofs 9/11" NOBODY out side of the game Postal's core demographic will want to see it. To put a scene like that in your movie, you are commiting carrer suicide. Well, I guess in his case it would be a mercy killing.

@NegativeGhostrider: Your goddamn right he would fail! Howard the Duck kicks ASS!!!

Mr.SithNinja

"Indiana Jones, The Movie, The Game, The Movie, The Game", by Uwe Boll.

Just so I can let you all know, I'll be one of the people paying to see Postal, while good old (OLD!) Indy can kiss my ass.

UWE BOLL.....how can i put this.... STFU!!

zanzibarlegend

I'm usually not one to pour out a bunch of foulmouthed words on this much appreciated blog site.

But this is no different from everything else Uwe pulls out of his ass.
Just a bunch of Bollshit...

(Witzbold, did i just cross the line of the wrathful banhammer?)

Logician

Let's see how long this will take before we get to see a Postal DVD in the Bargain bin @ Best Buy. =P

MURDERFACE

I bet he's releasing his movie when Indiana Jones comes out so when his film gets DEMOLISHED in ticket sales he can believe he has a viable excuse for the abysmal failure it's guaranteed to be. Hell, if he released it when Howard the Duck came out it would still fail.

NegativeGhostrider

Postal actually looks like a funny film. Uwe Boll might have made something decent finally. Though, beating Mr. Jones?

I want what he is smoking. That stuff must be downright amazing!!

Figcoinc

Unjustified optimism seems to have taken up the void in this mans brain after his directing ability packed his bags and left in disgust.
Hmmm, it COULD just be clever marketing. Or regular marketing. Or the final cries of a wildebeest left to die in the rain.

StartRunning

Postal looks fun, can't wait to see it.

@And after this our exile: *Dyack

me, my yoke + i

Let the man be proud of his effort. I mean, who gives a toss what he makes and what he thinks?! People obviously do...and that's the irony.

Trashy movies are great fun. Uwe Boll makes particularly trashy ones. Nobody should think he's making the next Citizen Kane. The way people react to his antics, you'd think he'd just stated he had.

pylon_trooper

It will only be a few more years before he tries to eat a gun.

knikola

Boll should get together with Denis "Samurai" Dyak. They can give each other pointers about how to set yourself up for a massive fall.

me, my yoke + i

The guy's hilarious, as are his films, which while not slavishly dedicated to the plot of the games they are based on, accurately reflect the maturity and complexity of the writing. I see him as a post-modern auteur, holding a mirror up to videogames, and daring them to be better...

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: QFT!

I like how recently Uwe has seemed to take a crash course in sarcasm.

Modus_Operandi

Pathetic... I feel sorry for him... I don't know how good Postal will be, but I'm sure that Indy 4 will still be a big blockbuster this summer, and I will choice Indy, instead of sickin' Postal made by Uwe "Ass" Boll

Hate the movies. Love the man. In a not gay way. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Darth Navster

You know, he said something similar, like how he was a better actor than the guy who played Schindler.
And people couldn't figure out that his statement was a joke.
Good thing you put that sentence in there, or people would take him seriously.
Because the only people who manage to be dumber than Boll are his detractors.

Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB

How does this guy continue to make movies? His films must be turning a profit somehow, somewhere. Or, is this just a very public, very unfortunate (for gamers), money laundering- or tax shelter-scheme?

The man's enthusiasm is like a morbidly obese zombie charging for your brains. Your submachine gun rounds fly uselessly through it's massive girth.

Am I the only one who thinks his movies are hilarious?

why does this guy still make movies? its not like anyone watches them

featherblade360

He's trying to cause people to go postal.

Fuck this. I'm staying home and playing more Smash Bros that weekend.

I'll wait for the B-Ray.

Setzer IIDX

I think it's about time we retired Uwe Boll from all forms of Media exposure.

Project Thanatos

If he means by beat Indiana Jones that his film will be forgotten and ignored first, then ... yes, I agree ... he will beat Indiana Jones to that ignominy.

jayntampa

The only way this man could destroy Indiana Jones is to make the fifth sequel.
