Dr. Uwe Boll, director of various movie adaptions of video games, often harshly critizised for his overall skills (one review called on of his movies "so poorly built, so horribly acted and so sloppily stitched together that it's not even at the straight-to-DVD level."), announced a surprising new project: before he goes on to shoot a third movie based on the BloodRayne franchise, the German director, producer, and screenwriter will start with Janjaweed, a movie about the genocidal armed mercenaries in Darfur:
"I will also do it in the style of Mel Gibson' Apocalypto... You do it almost like a documentary, but it's a fictional movie, and it will be very brutal." "I enjoyed shooting [Tunnel Rats] in South Africa, so I will shoot there again," he continues, in reference to his most recently completed film about the special U.S. combat unit that was sent into Vietnam to kill the subterranean elements of the enemy. "The title will be Janjaweed, just like the name of the Arab hordes who drive in on horsebacks and camels and kill everyone, raping the women and hacking the babies in pieces."
monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
