Uwe Boll’s Far Cry movie to begin filming next month

It’s confirmed: Uwe Boll’s making another movie adaptation of a popular videogame, and this time it’s Far Cry.  The shooting of the movie – which will take place in Vancouver, Canada, instead of Hawaii as previously stated- will begin immediately next month, as Gamerflicks reports.

A little backgrounder on Far Cry: Ubisoft‘s 2004 first-person shooter puts the player in the shoes of Jack Carver, an ex-Special Forces soldier who encounters mutant creatures known as Trigen after a mercenary job goes awry. Things go sharply downhill after that, with Carver bent on rescuing his employer – a female journalist by the name of Valerie Constantine – and every step bringing him closer to what the Trigens really are, and who created the monstrosities in the first place.

That’s how it goes in the game. How it actually goes in the movie is anyone’s guess – and when Uwe’s involved, all bets are off, if one remembers his spin on Postal. With much of the cast and staff from his previous movies reprising their roles, one thing is clear, at least: we’re in for one very interesting game-to-movie adaptation.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering just who’ll be portraying Jack, it’s a rumored toss-up between Michael Pare (“Bloodrayne II”) or Jason Statham (“In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Movie”).
