GoldenPalace.com will present "Raging Boll", a series of boxing matches starring Vancouver-based, German filmmaker Dr. Uwe Boll, producer/director of the video game to movie adaptations "Alone in the Dark", "House of the Dead", "BloodRayne" and "In The Name of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale".After receiving a slew of negative reviews for "BloodRayne" earlier this year, Boll challenged film reviewers to a boxing match.
"Many journalists make value judgments on my films based on the opinions of one or two thousand Internet voices," said Boll.
"Half of those opinions come from people who've never watched my films."
Boll proposed a 3-round match against anyone who would step into the ring with him, promising the fights would be filmed as part of Boll's next Vancouver-lensed feature "Postal".
"GoldenPalace.com Presents Raging Boll", will schedule four matches for September 23 and one match planned earlier in Spain for a total of five opponents.
Current challengers are Carlos Palencia Jimenez-Arguello from Madrid, Spain, webmaster of www.cinecutre.com;
Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka from Lee's Summit, Missouri, webmaster for Something Awful;
Jeff Sneider from Ain't It Cool News;
Toronto's Chris Alexander from Rue Morgue;
Nelson Chance Minter from Fredrick, Maryland;
The Carlos Palencia/Uwe Boll fight will occur in Malaga, Spain early in September. The date in Spain is still to be confirmed.
At the same time, Boll will receive a film award from the 'International Film Festival of Fantastic Cinema and Terror' in Malaga, Spain for his work on "BloodRayne".
