After his third failed Kickstarted, director Uwe Boll has a pretty clear message for his fans and Hollywood: 'F*** yourself.'
Uwe Boll's Kickstarter for Rampage 3: No Mercy has only three days left to go but has fallen short of its goal, so far raising $26,000 out of the goal of $55,000.
In response to the failed Kickstarter, which is the third time Boll has failed to raise the money for his film, the director released this video on his official YouTube channel which is actually titled "f*** you all."
"Basically my message is: f*** yourself," he says in the video.
He slams Kickstarter itself, saying that crowd funding is "absolutely dead." He then goes on to threaten not to make Rampage 3 at all, saying that it seems like nobody cares about it, which he appears to be totally correct about. "I have enough money to play golf 'till I'm dead," he says.
In a second video, he calls out stars like Brad Pitt and Matt Damon and berates audiences for spending money on their films instead of his. "Iron Man does not exist. Captain America does not exist,” he said. “Wake the f*** up."
So is Uwe Boll really done with Hollywood? Who knows, but the director has had a history of going on rants and yelling at people, so this isn't anything new. In 2006, when his movie Postal was badly reviewed, he challenged critics to fight him in a boxing ring, according to Variety.
Boll is known for directing some of the most poorly reviewed films of all time including Alone in the Dark and Postal.
