Interesting facts

Postal is a 2007 action comedy film based on the Postal video game series. Directed and co-written by Uwe Boll, it stars Zack Ward, Dave Foley, Chris Coppola, Jackie Tohn, J. K. Simmons, Verne Troyer, Larry Thomas, David Huddleston and Seymour Cassel.

Production

According to Uwe Boll, the German fan club for Postal contacted him, offering the possibility of the game being adapted into a film. Intrigued by the game's premise and blatant political incorrectness, Boll contacted Running with Scissors president Vince Desiderio, who sold him the rights under the condition that he would be involved with the script and the production.

Postal filmed from September 13 to October 30, 2006, in Cloverdale and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The film is set in Paradise, Arizona, like the games, although in reality it is a ghost town. Foley apparently was interested in doing the film because of Boll's apparent reputation on the Internet.
