Uwe Boll is not a happy man. Not happy in the slightest. Following the disastrous performance of BloodRayne in the US (it’ll barely cover the cost of the prints).
Boll and his companies are bringing a case against Romar Entertainment, James Schramm and Billy Zane (yes, that one) seeking unspecified damages for breach of contract. The suit has been filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Seems that while Dr Boll was finishing up the Kristanna Loken-starring film in 2005, Zane – who also stars in the movie – suggested that he sell the US distribution rights to Romar. The suit charges that Romar breached the agreement they reached to open the film in at least 2,000 cinemas across the States, failed to pay Boll and co their share of the gross proceeds (probably about $100, given the box office, but that’s beside the point) and never using the $10 million the production company provided for advertising.
The case continues…
