The German director is recruiting "co-producers" to pull together $18.5 million in order to launch his terrorist disaster epic Blackout. In return for $49 (£34), investors will be given a limited-edition DVD and the opportunity to win a trip to the set.
TheBlackoutFilm.com is open until March 31, with Boll saying that he will return $40 (£28) from each payment should the project not move forward.
Boll's movies, primarily video game adaptations, have been almost universally panned by critics. His work includes Alone In The Dark, BloodRayne and In The Name Of The King.
On February 21, he will be honoured with a lifetime dishonour prize at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
