The celebrated director behind actor Christian Slater's comeback film, Alone in the Dark, and critically acclaimed horror film House in the Dark continues a streak of video game adaptations. Uwe Boll's Boll KG studio has picked up the rights to Running With Scissors' violent first-person-shooter Postal series, reports Dark Horizons.
The Postal series is a shooter with a controversial history. The series has often been associated with violence problems within the game development community by the government and media. The company's motto is "It's always funny until someone gets hurt...and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical," says their website.
The adaptation will reportedly feature "all of the characters" from the video games, but with a brand-new, Boll-branded storyline. With the first draft of the script completed, Boll KG will move into production of Postal in February of next year.
Boll KG is recently finished filming an adaptation of Majeco's BloodRayne and is currently in production on another video game film based upon Microsoft's Dungeon Siege series.
