(You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it's impossible,) Boll recently told MTV News. (And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don't pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.)

That's the Uwe Boll I know and love the Uwe Boll who'll criticize even his most ardent followers. God bless you, sir.

But if you're not going to make a faithful adaptation, why make an adaptation at all? Apparently, the folks over at Blizzard wonder the same thing, since they practically laughed Boll out of their offices when he approached them about making a World of Warcraft adaptation, the director confessed.

(I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, '˜We will not sell the movie rights, not to you.especially not to you,') Boll revealed. (Because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.)

A bad movie! He called his hypothetical adaptation bad. Awesome.
