Every time that a new Uwe Boll film comes out, I watch it hoping that this will be the film in which he succeeds in blowing me away; I haven’t had that happen yet. Sure, his next release, Rampage, looks like it may be his finest work to date -- but that is like saying a small bag of garbage is better than a large bag of garbage. Our buddies over at /Film have pointed out a new trailer for Boll’s next film titles Storm, or Final Storm if you check out the IMDB page.
To be honest, with Boll’s track record of video game movies, I fully expected Storm to be about the new Blackberry phone; however, the only synopsis I could find for Storm was on IMDB and it looks like I I’ll have to wait for that Blackberry film:

“A stranger named Silas flees from a devastating storm and finds refuge with Tom and Gillian on their farm. While struggling with the Storm, Silas seems to be the only one who can help Tom and Gillian to find their son but there are other more dangerous forces out there, that are waiting for the three.”
Storm stars former Beverly Hills 90210 hunk Luke Perry (8 Seconds) and former Mrs. Jim Carrey, Lauren Holly (Dumb and Dumber) along with Steve Bacic (Good Luck Chuck) and Cole Heppell (The Fog). Boll usually writes and directs most of his films but in this instance, Storm was written by Canadian Tim McGregor, whose previous credits you most likely have never heard of.
Watch the trailer after the jump:
The trailer feels a little off to me. The dialog is delivered OK (I suppose) and maybe the film is edited better, but the trailer feels slapped together. To me it seems like a series of scenes pasted together and doesn’t do anything to explain the story. The trailer starts with floods and TV signals going off air but then a stranger staggers into their home in the middle of nowhere and the next 45 seconds or so are dedicated to the family just hanging out at the house. Then out of the blue a bunch of people are attacking them in a town. Huh?
Because I’ve made it one of my life’s goals to watch every film made by Uwe Boll, then I will be seeing this (most likely on DVD since I doubt it makes it to theaters in my town) but based on the trailer I don’t have very high hopes that Boll has surpassed or equaled the mild success he achieved with Rampage.
Oh well, there is always his next attempt Blackout which according to Wikipedia, “Boll is now offering the opportunity for anyone to “co-produce” his upcoming film Blackout. In exchange for a gift of 33 euros ($49 U.S.), a donor will receive a limited edition DVD of the film and a signed certificate from the cast and crew.”
On the flip-side, I am hearing good things about his German film Max Schmeling, the true story about the real life German boxer.
What do you think about Uwe Boll’s latest movie Storm?
Storm is supposed to release 2009 according to IMDB but I was unable to find an official release date.

How about changing the title of the article? It’s not like Boll ever came out from “bad form”
This trailer actually looks OK. Much better than the last one you guys posted. Still, it’s Boll so I shouldn’t get my hopes up.
The title refers to the fact that people were actually saying good things about his film “Rampage.”
Vic
Gotcha
To each his own I guess. I thought “Rampage” looked like a “serious” version of Postal. I like gore and violence when it’s done right, but the Rampage trailer disgusted me a little when I they showed a bunch of women, knelt down on the floor being shot in their backs and blood spewing everywhere.
somehow, he’s getting better actors to star in his movies. or they’re just getting desperate for work.
there was nothing in that trailer that grabbed me. it looked like something from an amateur roland emerich.
I don’t think I’ve actually seen anything by this guy but I have heard of him . You can’t swing a zombie in here without hitting someone who loathes Ewe Boll ( I was gonna say “you can’t swing a cat in here without…..” but I thought that might not be too pc , so I tried a variation). If I’ve offended any zombie rights activists – sorry
I wonder if part of Bolls’ success is due to the tremendous pr he seems to get from the swelling ranks of the Down With Ewe Boll club.
I’ve seen the trailer for Rampage and sure it looks a bit gruesome here and there but it does look interesting. A movie with potential.
I think the trailer for Storm looks like it could be good too. I’ll wait for the dvd for both films.
and by the way…. the long shot of the main street looks like Squamish BC me.
is it?
anyone?
