Uwe Boll likes to make movies based on games. The oft-maligned German director has several game-based movies in the works, and has already released Alone in the Dark and House of the Dead. Other adaptations in his queue include Hunter: The Reckoning and Far Cry.

Now Boll is dragging audiences down into the dungeons. His next feature, which begins filming Sunday, is Dungeon Siege, based on the 2002 PC role-playing game from Gas Powered Games and Microsoft Game Studios. Boll acquired the rights to the game in late 2003.

Brightlight Pictures has announced the cast for the film, which is due in theaters in 2006.
