German director Uwe Boll says he will quit making films if a petition demanding him to stop gets 1 million signatures.

Boll's work includes House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark and BloodRayne II: Deliverance, all of which rank in the bottom 100 of the Internet Movie Database website.

In an interview with FEARnet, the director admitted he knew about a petition, which currently has 18,000 signatures, requesting he stop making films.

"Yeah, I know [about the petition]. 18,000 is not enough to convince me," Boll said.

When asked about how many signatures would be needed, the director replied: "One million. Now we have a new goal."
