It does smack of the kind of rumor that originates from imdb and spreads all over the place because people think that site has an effective fact checking routine. We'll see, I don't really care. He has yet to rape any game I actually give a shit about.

I'm gonna love it if Uwe Boll starts directing academy award winning masterpieces because he can't use the tax loophole anymore.

So basically Uwe Boll is a real live version of "The Producers"? Figures.

IMPORTANT UWE BOLL NEWS

This is from Wikipedia, so the validity of this is unknown.

Just to recap, this is how Uwe is able to make movies:

Quote:

Boll essentially is a modern-day director. He's able to secure the investors (mostly German, in Hollywood often derisively referred to as "stupid German money"), secure the rights for cheap, picking games with only moderate brand recognition, does all of the actual production himself, and swiftly cranks out a movie. While under normal circumstances a director's movies could gross so little he's eventually shut out from every operating studio, Boll is exempt because he funds them under a loophole in German tax law that is supported by contributors and actually rewards movies that perform badly, via a writeoff at the end of the year.

But...

Quote:

It has been recently reported that the loophole in German tax law has been revised. Starting January 2006, contributors to failed films will no longer be able to profit from failed films through a tax writeoff at the end of the year. This may well result in an end to Boll's film career, as it would make it impossible for him to capitalize on films that fail at the box office, resulting in a loss of investors.

Could this be the end of Uwe Boll?
