Uwe Needs Us More Than We Need Him

The Hollywood Reporter says that Hate him or Not director Uwe Boll wants to make you a producer on his next flick

If you give Boll $49, you can be a 'co-producer' on his terrorist disaster tale "Blackout". Boll hopes to raise $18.5 million through the film's Web site TheBlackoutFilm.com.

Those who sign up and transfer the money are promised a limited-edition DVD of the film plus a chance to win a trip to the set and other prizes.

The site will be open till March 31st. If the planned budget is not reached by then, but at least 43% of the desired cash has been collected, Boll may elect to make the movie with a smaller budget.

If not, he says he will return most of the cash to investors with at least $40 from each payment being returned should the film not get made.

The fact that only $40 bucks is going to be returned if the film is not made is dubious--sounds desperate if you ask me....Why does Boll need us here?
Boll is currently shooting the apocalyptic thriller "The Storm" starring Lauren Holly and Luke Perry.
