All of it. All at once, wired to my bank. Which, I must say, was a deciding factor. I think if [Boll] never directed a film and he was just a producer, he would be remembered as a Roger Corman character. Corman is Hollywood schlock royalty.

He has directed 56 movies and produced , bringing many of them in early and under-budget. Similarly, Boll was able to convince investors to give him millions of dollars and enlisted A-list talent to produce spectacular garbage. Corman is still working today and is beloved by the industry.

Quentin Tarantino considers him an inspiration. But the films were almost always financial successes. Boll also started to shift away from game movies, something he told me had nothing to do with the source material. After gaming he started working on politically charged action movies like Tunnelrats , meant to examine the Vietnam war; Assault on Wall Street , which was Boll's take on bailouts; Darfur , which tackled the genocide in the Sudan; and Auschwitz.

Our terrorist, Bill Williamson, kills the president and [the] rest you need to watch on your own. During his promotional tour for the movie, Boll announced he was getting out of the movie making business.

Why, after so many bad reviews, so many critical pannings, is Boll suddenly deciding to pull the plug? Instead, Boll will focus on selling other people's movies through his business and focus on Bauhaus, his German restaurant in Vancouver. Now, with his film career behind him, I asked Boll if there were any video games he always wanted to make into a movie, but didn't or couldn't.

Also what's funny is that World of Warcraft and you remember they refused to let me do it was finally made and is shit. Boll said looking back at his film career and the many movies he made, most of them not tied to games, he thinks it's stupid that he will likely be remembered for those creations tied to gaming.

On the other hand, I started the whole wave of video game-based movies. I wrapped up the interview by asking Boll if he had anything he wanted to say to all of those video game fans out there, the ones he feuded with, while trying to turn their favorite games into something they might like to watch as a movie.
