Lo mas curioso es que lo siguen financiando! le siguen dando dinero para que haga sus peliculas, o sera que el tiene mucho dinero y se las paga solo?
Es que ahi esta la clave de sus peliculas.
El tio ese es aleman, y por lo visto hay una ley alemana que compensan las inversiones en el estranjero que hayan fracasado o algo asi, con lo cual aunque la pelicula haga 0 de taquilla, el uber y sus productores se forran.
Es la unica explicacion de por qué con cada pelicula que hace tiene mas presupuesto que la anterior.
De la wikipedia:
In the DVD commentary of 'Alone in the Dark', Boll explains how he funds his films:
"Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."
Whereas most directors would no longer be able to acquire the funding to continue such projects after box office failures such as Alone in the Dark, Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets a tax writeoff.
