White Wolf Sells Film Rights for

HUNTER: THE RECKONING® to Uwe Boll and BOLL KG


Atlanta, GA, January 16, 2004 — White Wolf Publishing, Inc. today finalized an agreement with German director/producer Uwe Boll for the film rights of its Hunter: The Reckoning horror property.

Hunter: The Reckoning is one of several horror properties developed by White Wolf as part of its award-winning World of Darkness® setting. The property's focus is on men and women who become aware of supernatural monsters preying on humanity and who are imbued with special abilities to combat them. Since its introduction in 1999, Hunter has spawned a line of pen-and-paper roleplaying games, a series of mass-market novels and three video games from Vivendi Universal: 2002's Hunter: The Reckoning (X-Box, Gamecube), 2003's Hunter: The Reckoning—Wayward (PlayStation2) and Hunter: The Reckoning—Redeemer (X-Box). "Hunter has become one of our most successful mass-media properties," said White Wolf's President, Mike Tinney, "and we're thrilled to see it head toward the big screen."

"This game provides a great opportunity to produce an exciting feature film," added Uwe Boll. "We look forward to capturing the unique and frightening qualities of Hunter: The Reckoning." Boll and his film fund Boll KG specialize in developing films based on successful video game and media properties.

The film will be produced with Shawn Williamson (Alone in the Dark, White Noise) of Brightlight Pictures Inc. Williamson said: "This property lends itself very well to feature film adaptation. Hunter: The Reckoning is a spectacular game, and we look forward to bringing the most thrilling elements to the big screen."

White Wolf's film rights are represented by the Gersh Agency.

Da li je neko cuo nesto o ovome?
Ovaj Uwe Boll, poznat neki lik?

Uwe Boll je lik za koga se vecina konzumenata apsolutno slaze da je fantasticno usrao ekranizaciju House of the Dead, a trenutno radi na tome da isto postigne i sa Alone in the Dark.

Da neki malo cesce obilaze izvestan sajt, bili bi mnogo bolje upuceni. A ne posle tu da mi sa shest meseci zakasnjenja otkrivaju Dead Endove i pitaju se ko je Uwe Boll GmbH.
