Silent Hill Movie

[Giga Guess]

I heard a rumor about it...wondering if anyone can confirm or deny it for me....

[Shoeberto]

It's true.

Erm...did anyone tell them about Harry? Or Cheryl?

[kikimm]

Yeah. I know there's a blog of one of the guy's who's working on it floating around somewhere, but I'm a bit too lazy to go dig it up at the moment. It's kind of interesting, though.

I'd imagine they're trying to tell an original story based in the Silent Hill universe. Kind of like how SH1 and SH2 had no common plot elements outside of the town itself.

That's the nice thing about Silent Hill, the star isn't the main character, it's the town itself. It'll probably be nowhere near as good as the games though. $10 says Uwe Boll is behind it.

But then why have Cybil, Alessa and Dahlia?

I think this movie would be HARD to screw up.

Good thing he's busy with messing up Dunegon Seige.
Now gimmie that 10$

[DJZen]

Because it means Uwe Boll is not destroying one of the few things I love in this world, I will do so gladly.

*Gladly takes the 10$*
I'm looking forward to this movie as well they better not mess it up.

I didn't take that into consideration...I'm not sure. They could be re-telling Harry's story with a different character, but that'd be dumb. It's hard telling at this point.

It doesn't come out for a year, though, so that gives us plenty of time to get new information and pass judgement on it.

Funny because I think it could actually be screwed up very easily. The whole suspenseful horror thing the games have going on, not to mention an absolutely sureal world at times could so easily be screwed up it's not funny. I haven't seen a horror movie myself that got the suspense scare right, and the tendency in Hollywood is to make people jump rather than creep them out, so I'll hold out hope, but if it's not the least bit scary I won't be surprised.

I think the key will be making sure all the surreal elements in Silent Hill are good. If they can make me believe the characters are walking into the depths of hell, and living the most screwed up nightmare imaginable, then they'll have done their jobs.
