Blizzard To Uwe Boll: DENIED.
It's hard not to respect someone that systematically alienates everyone he has ever encountered ever. Okay, so it's not that hard. With an outstanding petition to have him stop producing movies (you've signed it, correct?) you would think the proverbial towel would have taken the air... but Uwe Boll is up to his old tricks.
Uwe Boll wanted to make a World of Warcraft movie. Before you all scramble to your nearest WoW server to submit an abuse report, hear what Uwe had to say about the situation:
I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you...especially not to you', Because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.
"We will not sell the movie rights, not to you...especially not to you", seriously does it get anymore juicy than that statement right there. That's five backwards across the face if I've ever heard one. Love you Uwe, you cooky German 'film' maker.

I love it. I'm glad he seems so amused at how reviled he is.
I thought there was already a movie in the works.
I feel Boll is the perfect director, the game quality oft attracts a director of the same quality.
