Postal is perhaps the most outrageous and politically incorrect game ever to be released. On its release back in 1997 it was made the poster child for violent videogames by Senator Joe Lieberman and as a result was removed from sale at retailers across America. Since then the game has gone on to sell over a million units worldwide and has gathered a cult following in America as well as being a success in Japan and Russia. Postal 2 was also a great success and has spawned several add-ons.
Software company Running With Scissors has today announced that it has signed a deal with Uwe Boll to bring Postal to the big screen.
“Uwe Boll is the perfect producer-director to make POSTAL,” said Running With Scissors’ CEO Vince Desi. “He understands the subject matter and has an appreciation and affinity for controversy and political incorrectness. POSTAL has always been about reason and insanity, violence and motivation; producer-director Uwe Boll is simply the right guy to bring that vision to the screen.“
Boll ranks Postal as one of his all-time favourite games saying the movie must be “powerful, strange, and so full of the game’s political incorrect outrageousness that if we do it correct, we will all probably end up in jail!“
Boll has already made a mess of several movie licenses including Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead, as well as the as yet unseen Bloodrayne, and he is currently shooting Dungeon Siege. Postal the movie is scheduled to begin shooting in 2006 for a 2007 release to coincide with the game’s 10th anniversary.
