Uwe Boll

UWE BOLL (Director, Executive Producer) has attracted worldwide attention in the gaming community for his film adaptations of popular video games, which include Alone in the Dark, starring Christian Slater and Tara Reid, BloodRayne, starring Ben Kingsley and Kristanna Loken, and the upcoming satire Postal, starring Zack Ward and Dave Foley.

With Postal, Boll roasts an entire herd of sacred cows and smashes taboos to smithereens in a hilariously subversive critique of modern day America. Inspired by the notorious videogame of the same name, Postal lampoons religious extremists, minorities, bureaucrats, immigrants, cops, women, the Holocaust, gun nuts and more with evenhanded abandon.

Boll recently wrote and directed the upcoming horror thriller Seed, starring Will Sanderson, Ralf Moeller and Michael Paré, about a murderer who seeks revenge on the prison officials who tried unsuccessfully to execute him and then buried him alive. Other future projects include the videogame adaptations BloodRayne II: Deliverance, with Natassia Malthe and Zack Ward; Alone in the Dark II; Tunnel Rats and Far Cry.

Boll’s directing credits also include the zombie horror thriller House of the Dead; Heart of America, a drama about a high school killing spree starring Jürgen Prochnow, Michael Paré, Patrick Muldoon, Kett Turton, Elisabeth Moss and Maria Conchita Alonso; and Blackwoods, a thriller about a young man haunted by the accidental death of a young girl, starring Patrick Muldoon, Keegan Connor Tracy, Michael Paré, Will Sanderson and Clint Howard.

He also wrote and directed the 2000 television movie “Sanctimony,” starring Casper Van Dien, Michael Paré, Eric Roberts, Jennifer Rubin and Catherine Oxenberg, about a stock broker-turned-serial killer.

Boll, who holds a doctorate in literature, began his filmmaking career in his native Germany, where he directed Erste Semester, Das (The First Semester) (1997), Amoklauf (1994) Barschel - Mord in Genf? (1993) and German Fried Movie (1991).

He is the founder and CEO of Boll KG, through which he finances, produces and distributes his films.
