Uwe Boll is a German-Canadian film director, producer and screenwriter. Born in Wermelskirchen, he attended the Universities of Cologne and Siegen, achieving a doctorate in literature. He decided to go into the movie business when he was ten, upon watching a film adaptation of ''[[Mutiny Onon Thethe Bounty]]'', starring [[Marlon Brando]]. His career began in 1991, making small German films for the first ten years before releasing his first major films, the English-language ''Blackwoods'' and ''Heart of America'' in 2002. Boll directed and co-wrote both.
 
Since then, his work has primarily consisted of adaptations of video games. Due to the rather low production value compared to Hollywood blockbusters, the movies haven't exactly done well at all, either at the box-office or critically. In fact, four of his movies are part of IMDB’s top 100 worst movies of all-time. This has served to piss off those games' respective fan bases and has combined to make Boll one of the most hated filmmakers of all time. Exacerbating things is his usage of a rule in the German tax law that, until recently, allowed investors in German-made films to receive a 50% tax rebate. This has led to charges of Boll ''intentionally'' making bad movies so his investors can exploit this, though Boll’s intent on this matter has never been proven.
