Uwe Boll - AUSCHWITZ - Blu-ray Forum

Offender_Mullet · 09-08-2010, 12:15 AM

In case the title made you do a triple-take.....yes, that Auschwitz and yes that Uwe Boll.

You know what the subject matter is about. No need to explain. The teaser is a bit graphic. You've been warned.

"It's in the tradition of my movies Stoic, Darfur, Rampage, Tunnel Rats, Heart of America...it shows Auschwitz as what it was: a meat plant for humans...a death factory." -Boll

How could Uwe get financing for this project? Better yet, how does Uwe manage to keep getting hired to direct movies? The subject matter requires a competent director.

Offender_Mullet · 09-08-2010, 12:35 AM

I have no idea, especially with touchy subject matter like this.

My former boss strikes again. LOL, the first person you see in this teaser is Uwe himself. Now, he's moved into acting.

I agree. How does he keep getting his financing?

Most of the time or all the time now he uses his money. If it's not successful the the German government would give him his money back. something like that.

edit: i still think he somehow gets back his money

Until the law was changed in 2005, Boll was able to acquire funding for his movies thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allowed investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allowed them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor was then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor would get a tax writeoff

Oi Uwe...subject matters like this require film-makers that can do a good job, you're going to get ripped big time for this.

It's pretty obvious at this point that this man cares about nothing-- critics, moviegoers opinions, good taste, good filmmaking, acting, direction, writing, etc etc etc etc

When I was working with him, he had a Canadian financier. Not sure if they're still working together or not.

I have been to Dachau and got to see the gas chambers and ovens. uwe bolle making a movie about Auschwitz is an insult and a travesty to say the least.

Yeah just going by how he described the place kind of tells you that he doesn't have the right idea/mindset about this movie. Hopefully it'll tank like a stone in the box office and then afterwards, Hollywood bigwigs run him through the wringer.
