Knights, Orcs, John Rhys Davies, and… um… ninjas. No it's not Lord of the Rings on acid… well maybe it is Lord of the Rings on acid… but it's also the next movie for financially acclaimed tax genius Doctor Uwe Boll. Well, the next movie after BloodRayne anyway, and maybe his last movie before they officially close that German tax loophole that lets him make a mint off of unprofitable, bad movies. They've shut it down, I'm just not sure when the shutdown goes into effect.

The film was called Dungeon Siege, but it's been renamed In the Name of the King, probably to make it even easier to confuse with Return of the King. Want to hear something really shocking? Here's the cast list: Jason Statham (The Transporter), John Rhys-Davies (Yes, Gimli), Ray Liotta (shiny eyes), Matthew Lillard (Freddie Prinze Jr.'s only talented friend), Leelee Sobieski (Helen Hunt if she was remade by pod people), Burt Reynolds (Bandit!), and Claire Forlani (whose name sounds funny when said by Jackie Chan). It was bad enough when Ben Kingsley got involved with Uwe for BloodRayne, but this is getting absolutely ridiculous.

Here's the point of this story. Dr. Boll has released the first trailer for In the Name of the King, and there's a link to it below this story. I have a confession to make… this may be the first Uwe Boll movie I'll actually go see. King Burt Reynolds? It's like some sort of redneck wet dream. Can Bo and Luke Duke be his crown princes? The trailer makes it look like the coolest made for TV movie in history. Too bad it's going to be a theatrically released movie. Maybe that's an idea actually. Can we get Uwe Boll working in television? Let him deal with the wrath of Oprah.

Are you ready? Then click here to watch the new trailer and see the first poster for In the Name of the King – A Dungeon Siege Tale. Poor John Rhys-Davies. Orlando Bloom got Pirates of the Caribbean, he got stuck with this.

Thanks to Freeze Dried Movies for pointing out the trailer… I guess.
