I read this about film director Uwe Boll:
Boll explains how he funds his films:
"Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total.
And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax
shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you
get basically fifty percent back from the Government."
Boll is able to acquire funding thanks to German tax laws that reward
investments in film. The law allows investors in German-owned films to
write off 100% of their investment as a tax deduction; it also allows
them to invest borrowed money and write off any fees associated with
the loan. The investor is then only required to pay taxes on the
profits made by the movie; if the movie loses money, the investor gets
a tax writeoff.

He makes video game movies - House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark,
BloodRayne, BloodRayne II: Deliverance. They get terrible reviews from
fans and critics. But he gets them made nonetheless.
I wonder if Rebellion could do something similar? Try to make a German
owned 2000AD film? Perhaps Rebellion could contact people in the
German film industry and see if there's any potential in them
investing in a 2000AD film. Might be worth finding out. Just a
suggestion.
