IndieWire says
Count on German schlockmeister Uwe Boll to endorse the worst idea ever for a movie. Check out the pitch to a major studio (the name is omitted) from his Kinostar colleague Michael Roesch below:

Hope you are well.
One of our partners is currently working on the 3D conversion of classic black and white movies.
He has secured the rights and is in the middle of production of several Charlie Chaplin movies, which will form one 90 minute 3D movie titled “Chaplin 3D - Little Tramp´s Adventure”. The 3D looks amazing, much better than most of the conversions which were shown in theaters so far.

He earned the nickname The Raging Boll after challenging his worst critics a “put up or shut up” boxing match.
What a pity. And now we'll have to find another punching bag of a director to criticize.
Comingsoon
Much maligned German filmmaker Uwe Boll announces retirement and we look at some of his movies that are actually really good
Allowing Uwe Boll to touch anything is a bad idea in and of itself, letting him take the classic Charlie Chaplin is like pissing on the man's grave. I can't see how ANYONE in their right mind would think this is a good idea let alone finance this.
Just as bad as making The Great Gatsby in 3D. You have to have some actual action to have 3D.
Use Boll?! How does this guy still have money?
Brilliant, genius, etc.
I have to see it to believe it.
