TORONTO — German filmmaker Uwe Boll, who has made several movies in Canada, went online Sunday to rant about Hollywood, celebrities and crowdfunding campaigns.
In one of two expletive-filled video he posted on YouTube, Boll takes aim at stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Calling them “pieces of s***,” he complains “they do all the f***ing charity stuff as long as they’re getting all the press write-ups about it so they can buy another f***ing castle in Africa.”
Boll refers to Jennifer Lopez as “a f**ing demanding Mexican b**** who wants to fly with a private airplane.” (Lopez was, in fact, born in the U.S. to Puerto Rican parents.)
The director-producer, who lives in B.C., also suggests Robert Downey Jr. is laughing at fans who pay to see his Marvel blockbusters, which Boll described as “stupid absurd s***.”
Boll dismissed Hollywood as a “fake” industry and criticised “how the young people of today are falling in the f***ing trap because they’re all stupid.”
In another video, Boll lashes out at fans for not donating more to a Kickstarter campaign that sought to raise about $70,000 CAD for Rampage 3: No Mercy. With only three days remaining, the crowdfunding campaign has raised only $32,000 CAD.
“It looks like nobody gives a s*** about Rampage 3 so maybe I shouldn’t do it,” he says in the video. “I have enough money to play golf until I’m dead.
“For me, crowdfunding is absolutely dead. Goodbye,” he says.
Boll made the first Rampage movies — 2009’s Rampage and 2014’s Rampage: Capital Punishment — in B.C. with homegrown actor Brendan Fletcher.
(In the video description on YouTube, Boll promises to make the third movie in January.)
Among the movies Boll has directed in B.C. are 2013’s Suddenly, 2011’s In The Name of the King 2: Two Worlds, 2007’s In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, 2007’s Postal and 2006’s Seed.
