Add that to the pile of reasons to be angry. With his 60-day campaign half over, Boll has raised only one-tenth of his proposed $500,000 budget. Whether the stars will align for Postal 2 may come down to whether there are even stars to align. Are Boll’s crazy ideas for Postal 2 - which, according to his campaign video, include Postal Guy (actor Zack Ward) caring for 10 “retard children” and “raping Heidi Klum” - worse than anything played for humor on Fox’s Dads? He believes the time is right for Postal 2, that Hollywood has followed him into the trenches of “disgusting” humor with movies like The Hangover and series like Family Guy, and subject matter that was once considered taboo for comedy is now the norm. Instead of watering down his original vision for the sequel, Boll is opting to put the film’s fate in the hands of the fans. “TV was very, let’s say, ‘careful’ not to show it,” Boll says. The director suggests that the movie only lost money because they couldn’t sell the cult movie’s cable rights.

Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Boll says he saw these rabid fans with his own eyes. ![]() But the shock-and-awe-style perversion - from the mauling down of children with a machine gun to the controversial opening sequence, two Al Qaeda terrorists comically bantering before flying into the World Trade Center - connected with a niche audience. As Boll puts it, the original Postal, part social satire, part bloodbath action movie, was not cheap to make, nor did it earn enough money to recoup its costs. 28, Boll began a campaign to crowdfund Postal 2, a follow-up to his 2007 video game adaptation.
