Boll Working on Game
GameDaily reports that Uwe Boll, the infamous video game director, is planning on turning one of his original movies into a game. The site reports that he has filmed Tunnel Rats, an original Vietnam War movie set in 1967, and that he is working with German developer Replay Studios, the devs behind the upcoming Sabotage, to create a new first-person shooter based on the film. The game is being developed for the PC and Xbox 360.
“Tunnel Rats is a first-person shooter set during the Vietnam War that tells the story of a young G.I. who escapes from a POW camp and journeys through a heavily fortified valley in the Cu Chi province,” said Marc Moehring Managing Director and Co-Founder, Replay Studios. “It not only depicts his actual physical path through the merciless jungle and claustrophobic, trap-ridden tunnels, but also his emotional and psychological journey as the horrors he witnesses–and participates in–slowly deprive him of his ideals, morals and sanity.”
As per the article, the game will feature 10 levels of jungles and tunnels based on the movie; players will have over a dozen weapons at their disposal as they make their way through the game. Apparently, all the actors from the movie – Michael Pare, Nate Parker, Erik Eidem, Brandon Fobbs – have signed on to have their likenesses appear in the game. It is also noted that the game will feature the score from the movie, as well as additional music composed specifically for it.
Boll plans on releasing the game alongside the movie when it hits theatres early next year. He is also likely to bundle the game and movie together once it hits DVD.
