Imagine if all of the MAGA directors decline and then Elon has no option but to hire Uwe Boll.

Reminds me of Eipstein incident

u/Alarming_Orchid 6h ago

Hey Elon, actually the entirety of Hollywood just decided to stop making movies indefinitely. Yeah, all of them at once. I’ll let you know if we come back

u/karel_gott_mit_uns 6h ago

Movies for the win!

u/SprokGargoyle 5h ago

And then he buys a movie studio for 44 billion just to force them back into making it lol

u/jacksonsmack831 4h ago

Also Elon, great news! We booked in the very famous (for all the wrong reasons) actors Armie Hammer and Amber Heard to star!

We're waiting to hear back from Dennis Rodman and pee wee herman

The New York financier?

u/BasicDurgeanomics 5h ago

No the one that pushed microtransactions for video games

😂 Jim Downey is the absolute GOAT!!!

u/Pale-Measurement-532 5h ago

The one with the island?

u/xDeviousDieselx 5h ago

No the EDM producer

u/Waytooboredforthis 6h ago

Don't lie, you'd slow down to look at that grisly car crash.

u/Latter-Judgment-9740 5h ago

Yup. Out of all his stupid bullshit, this is the one I'm hoping for.

u/QueueModernsXXXX 6h ago

I’m down, but only if Boll matches or exceeds Nolan’s runtime - maybe get someone like Russell Brand to be Odysseus.

12

u/Pale-Measurement-532 5h ago

Put Kevin Spacey and Armie Hammer in there too.

5

u/QueueModernsXXXX 5h ago

I actually almost went with Spacey, but decided on Brand due to Matt Damon’s Odysseus beard.

2

u/Pale-Measurement-532 5h ago

Oh i definitely think Brandt is the right choice for Odysseus. Plus he found God so Mel would like that. Kevin can play an authentic Greek pedophile role. He’s done lots of research on it already.

u/S_uperSquirrel 4h ago

Chris Pratt as Odysseus

u/Skylord_Hekaton 3h ago

James Corden, duh

u/I_ateabucketofpaint 6h ago

Uwe Boll will just make chatgpt do it

Remember that he has 3 separate mass shooter movies

1

u/Pale-Measurement-532 5h ago

Guns were historically accurate at the time weren’t they?

2

u/redbrigade82 5h ago

Lightning fingers were

u/kojimbob 6h ago

Uwe Boll sounds like some goofy Star Wars name

6

u/Signal_Nobody1792 6h ago

I mean, considering Gibsons track record he might be up for this.

u/Ok_Astronomer_8667 4h ago

Do it, HAHAHAHA

2

u/misterguyyy 5h ago

I'm sure Rob Schneider would be up to the task. He did direct Big Stan, so The Odyssey shouldn't be too outside his wheelhouse.

1

u/SolaceRests 6h ago

I’m assuming this meme is just nonsense because I’ve seen it with various other Directors, one being Uwe.

1

u/greythicv 6h ago

Or Tommy Wiseau

u/Novel-Initiative-900 5h ago

If we get an Apocalpto Odyssey from Mel Gibson, I wouldn't mind seeing that honestly

1

u/pyrofox79 5h ago

Oh god not Uwe Boll.

1

u/Sea-Refrigerator5748 5h ago

I heard Mel Gibson isn't an actually bad director

2

u/biggendicken 5h ago

he isnt. he is just a horrible person

1

u/elderpufflaurien 5h ago

I thought that was already in the works with uwe boll? Or did i get punked?

1

u/Ancient_Presence 4h ago

Yeah, that one was fake, or at least the mods locked it for that reason. One of the few recent cases of "that's so fucking crazy, it can't possibly be real", where it indeed wasn't.

1

u/rickyizm 5h ago

Please. Please. Please give Uwe 100 million dollars under the assumption he is going to make an epic that is true to the book and not some slapdash tax incentive trash film.

That I typically enjoy btw.

u/negativ32 5h ago

His accurate portrayal of Muslim attitudes is a good indicator of honesty and zero sugar coating. They should hire him as a continuity advisor.

1

u/Intelligent_Slip_849 4h ago

Please.

I might actually have to watch that train wreck.

1

u/DeadlyYellow 4h ago

Well does he want an actual film or a Producers scheme?

1

u/Upset_Journalist_755 4h ago

Uwe Boll with a budget is just wrong

1

u/officialbearstuff 3h ago

We get useful Location text like

"GREECE"

u/lintytortoise 2h ago

Ah fuck now i'm fucking into it again. Fuck, uwe boll is the only good director.

u/codemonkey80 6h ago edited 5h ago

what, in your opinion, would be so bad about such a film?

edit:

sorry my bad, I was referring to the proposal that started this idea, which was that Mel Gibson direct using the same concept as for Apocalypse. Entirely bronze age clothing and all in reconstructed bronze age greek

12

u/WiglyWorm 6h ago

Have you ever watched an Uwe Boll film?

8

u/Ok_Imagination4806 6h ago

He’s got to be the most terrible director ever. Comically bad movies even with A actors

7

u/WiglyWorm 6h ago

Nerds of a certain age have PTSD because somehow he got like every single video game movie in the 2000s.

1

u/original_username20 5h ago

Jesus Christ, Uwe Böll got the racists to pretend that he of all people is a good director

1

u/DoBronx2144 5h ago

Pretty sure all those movies were just money laundering

1

u/codemonkey80 5h ago

haha, no, sorry, that was not what I had in mind. The proposal as on twitter was that Mel Gibson direct using the same concept as for Apocalypse, ie pure bronze age costumes and all in a reconstructed bronze age greek
