Director of critically panned game adaptions clowns on Borderlands movie's $90m flop, only to cancel his next game adaption after crowdfunding just $850

Borderlands.

Last month, controversial director Uwe Boll - best known for a string of not-great-at-best video game movie adaptations - took aim at the Borderlands movie's commercial failure. Unfortunately for Boll, what went around has come around, as he's been forced to cancel the crowdfund for his new movie after drawing in just $850 of his $2.5 million goal.

After the Borderlands movie made just $8.8 million against its $110+ million budget during its opening weekend, Boll - who has secured multiple Golden Raspberry nominations for his video game adaptations - decided to gloat.
