Uwe Boll Files a Lawsuit Against Billy Zane
Boll is claiming he is owed at least $700,000 from the actor because apparently Zane was the one who suggested that Boll distribute the film through Romar Entertainment. The suit alleges that Zane and Romar promised the film would open in 2,000 theaters and also that a $10 million advance from Boll would be used for advertising and promotions for the film. Boll claims that more than $900,000 of that advance was pocketed by Zane and Romar and the film only opened in 950 theaters.
BloodRayne was budgeted at $25 million and the film earned $3.6 million worldwide.
BloodRayne was released January 6th, 2006 and stars Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Matthew Davis, Will Sanderson, Geraldine Chaplin, Udo Kier, Meat Loaf, Michael Paré. The film is directed by Uwe Boll.

Even if this carptacular film from Ewww Boll would have come out in 3,000 theatres it would have changed that the movie was a piece of funadamental Garbage.
Nothing could have saved it not even when it went to DVD and I don't know anyone who would have wanted to download it for free.
