German director Uwe Boll is letting everyone know that he is not happy with Warner Brothers. His disdain with the company stems from their soon to be release video game movie, Rampage, as he released a trilogy of films also titled Rampage. Boll's trilogy started with 2009's Rampage, and concluded with 2017's Rampage: President Down.
Now, the director has taken to his personal website and his twitter account to trash the film, and threaten legal action against Warner Brothers.
Boll's personal website contains a statement that reads: "Uwe Boll is currently reviewing his options to pursue litigation against motion picture studio Warner Bros. and Producer New Line for using his brand RAMPAGE as the title for the upcoming motion picture starring Dwayne Johnson, also known as the Rock. Boll released 3 original Rampage movies in 2009, 2014 and 2017. This movie trilogy had a quick turnaround amassing large cult following on DVD and entities like Netflix."
Boll also released a personal statement on the matter: "We are living now in a world where Independent Movies are dead and the big players only are making all the money. That they then use developed brands and ideas from established series such as my Rampage films in order to make even more money is unfair but typical. The new RAMPAGE movie will shrink my brand and my revenues I can make in the future with my RAMPAGE movies. It also confuses the audience! I want that WARNERS change the title, especially because the new movie has nothing to do with a RAMPAGE and looks more like Jumanji 2 and is one of those typical feelgood, popcorn bullshit movies that the studios use to brainwash America even more! All these kind of movies including Transformers, Avengers are helping the military industrial complex in America to win and have retards like Trump be American President who would say that the earth is flat as soon they think they can benefit from this!"
