Uwe Boll's latest film...
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200703/s1886396.htm
Uwe Boll, the German-born director whose computer game movie adaptations include "Alone in the Dark", "House of the Dead" and "Bloodrayne", announced his latest project at a film festival in Berlin today - an adaptation of the game "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?".
"It cries out for re-imagining," he told a crowd of fans in the film library of the Institut Dummkopftag. "This classic work of virtual entertainment deserves to be exposed to a modern audience."
Boll has already cast "Species" actress Natasha Henstridge in the eponymous role of Carmen Sandiego, who in his version is an airline stewardess spreading an avian flu-like virus across the planet. It's up to the heroine, played by unknown German actress April Zuerst, to save the world, following a series of clues to trace the unknowing modern Typhoid Mary.
"It is 'Outbreak' meets 'The Da Vinci Code'," Boll assured his audience, who greeted the news with muted cheers.
