Boll snapping up all the Goodfellas

Has Uwe Boll created some kind of brain-washing mickey that he’s slipping into the drinks of Hollywood A-listers?

It’s the only explanation for the infamous B-director ["House of Dead"] being able to rope in so many few talented troops to his latest film.

And look who’s just been dropped a floater in his cocktail….

The versatile Ray Liotta ["Hannibal", "Heartbreakers"] is the latest big name to sign onto Boll’s "Dungeon Siege". He will apparently play the villain.

"Ray is one of my favorite actors, and I’m really proud that he liked the script so much that this is his first time doing a fantasy period piece," executive producer/director Boll tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Liotta joins Leelee Sobieski, Will Sanderson, Jason Statham and former NFL star Brian J. White as well as German supermodel Eva Padberg, who is making her film debut.
