Uwe Boll's Janjaweed aka Darfur and how I was the second writer attached to write it.

[OrlandoEastwood]

Ok, Uwe Boll is out to do a film on the genocide in the Sudan. Back in September 2008 I was originally contacted to write the script because I am not in a union yet and I am easy to exploit for getting a cheap ass script written. I am putting spoiler tags over the story as to not ruin it but then again I am sure you all do not care since it is Uwe Boll. All right the film is like this;

[Show spoiler]it is a 2 hr torture film with Sudanese men, women, and children being slaughtered with a group of German and American reporters who end up witnessing it

. That was it; the whole film. Uwe wrote a 7 page treatment and wanted it to around 2hrs. Now, this is where Uwe and I got into it because I wanted to establish the characters and where they were coming from and start the film on impending doom for this village. After I sent these parts over he went berserk and was like "NO!!! IT MUST TAKE PLACE IN THE VILLAGE!!!" and I was like "G' Damn." I finished the script and he rejected it and I was like; "Fine." But I can tell you that Boll was aiming out to get George Clooney act in his film and you know who he has in his cast for this film? EDWARD FURLUNG! He has not been popular since T2.

So what about this script I wrote? I am currently tearing the story up bit by bit and I am re-working it into this real emotional piece that I plan to hopefully get some interest in over the next 5 years. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer them.

Uwe Boll directing a film on the Darfur genocide!

What's next - McG directing a biopic of Mother Theresa?

[OrlandoEastwood]

The German economy has been rough on him since they closed that tax loophole. He can't find any funding for his videogame adaptions so he's pretty much taking up any directing job he can find. He even has a website up where you can donate $50 and get a Executive Producer credit for the film.

[Teabaggins]

was it the script that caused your toshiba laptop to freak out? maybe the laptop could sense Uwe's presence possibly being attached to the project

[OrlandoEastwood]

No, I was approached after the first time the laptop broke down when the DVD drive/burner had to be replaced.

Thanks, Gamma. I spent probably 20 pages adding development because when you write actions in a screenplay you get very limited after a while and just writing:

"Man gets impaled with a spear. Baby gets beheaded by machete."

You go on and you just really start to repeat yourself so I thought I would add more and add development but since I was adding in another village, an airplane, and a military compound; he couldn't budget it.

I was intrigued by your thread, but have to confess that I have no idea who Uwe Boll is and why everyone at this site hates him so much.

Maybe it's better not to know...

Yeah, but be glad he didnt like it/ didnt have the budget. It sounds like UWE would have just butchered the movie anyway.

[Gamma_Winstead]

I would have seen yours, and it sounds interesting.

But screw Uwe.

the first sentence is bad news already

I am glad Uwe Boll is struggling for money. No one should give him a damn dime. He makes Ed Wood look like Hitchcock.

[LifeOfAPirate13]

Doesn't he get his money from the german government that is soon changing their policy about films that tank? From what I heard the German government will reimburse a film that fails at the box office which all his films have and which is why he keeps cranking out films as fast as possible. He is taking money from the german taxpayers and making the crappiest movies to ever grace a screen. If this is true and the government changes their policy then Uwe is SOL.
