RedEye Interview with Uwe Boll about Postal movie
Thursday, May 29th, 2008Postal is a 2007 film based on the 2003 computer game Postal². The film is directed by filmmaker Uwe Boll, and filmed in Cloverdale, British Columbia.[citation needed] Postal premiered in Montreal on July 22, 2007 during the Fantasia Festival.
Initial trailers market the film as a shock comedy, and have caused controversy as they show a jet flying into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1] It was later revealed that this scene is in fact the opening scene of the movie, where two of the hijacker terrorists get to know that their sign-up deal for the “99 perfect virgins” might not work out due to the lack of resources after too many recent martyrs, and decide to hijack the plane to the Bahamas instead, only to be overpowered by the airplane passengers, who, in the struggle for the controls, end up driving the plane into one of the towers.
In his seminar at Breakpoint 2007, Boll has noted that he will “probably end up in jail for it”, and claimed that he wanted to create a movie that is “ruthless, just like Monty Python movies used to be”.
A cast listing on Boll’s website shows that the film will also feature Richard Kyanka, one of Boll’s opponents in his infamous “critic boxing” matches, as well as Vince Desiderio, the producer of the Postal video games.
Recent news revealed that the film will be released in the USA May 23, 2008[4], although Uwe Boll claimed it would be released October 12, 2007.[5]. On May 16, 2008 theater distributors pulled out of their deal with Boll for a wide release. Postal, as of May 16, was set to be released in only four screens, down significantly from the original 1,500 screens[6]. As of May 20, its screen count has increased to 12 screens. The movie was released in German theatres October 18th.
