The director, best known for his critically-panned video-game-to-screen adaptations like BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark and Far Cry, was trying to raise money for Rampage 3 but without much success. His previous failed campaigns include one for Postal 2, while one for Rampage 3 first failed to garner sufficient interest on Indiegogo and the same now looks set to happen Kickstarter.
In the videos, which you can see below, Boll eloquently says, "So, basically, my message is f*** yourselves. It looks like no one gives a s*** about Rampage 3 so maybe I shouldn't do it then. I have enough money to play golf 'til I'm dead.
"I wanted to do Rampage 3 because it is an important movie, but it looks like you are easier [sic] giving $600k to make a movie about some r******d wizard in the forest or some Marvel Avengers bulls*** dirt. So goodbye and goodbye Hollywood."
The first video focuses mainly on those who decided not to back Boll's campaigns, though a second, longer video attacks Hollywood as a whole, various actors and actresses including Jennifer Lopez and Robert Downey Jr., and foreign film investors.The last few years have not been hugely kind to Boll. He made a play for the director's job on the Warcraft movie when Sam Raimi left but before Duncan Jones signed on, though wasn't successful. It seems Blizzard may be familiar with his filmography, considering the company's Paul Sams responded saying "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you."
