Silent Hill....The movie!
That's right, a Silent Hill movie.

Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
Get with the program... They announced this months ago, and as of last weekend or so the details have been flowing in (since that's when they began putting up the set and filming)!
I've been checking multiple messageboards as many times a day as possible! Of course I'm a huge Silent Hill fanatic, so I'm naturally very excited for this movie.... But I believe it is shaping up to be possibly the best videogame movie so far... Christophe Gans is directing, Roger Avary (who also co-wrote Pulp Fiction among other things) wrote the script, it's not starring bigshot hollywood action stars or supermodels... And to top it off the music is being done by Akira Yamoaka, who made the amazing soundtracks for the games... Oh, and the set (or the one they made so far) was amazing... Christophe is apparently a fan of the games (especially part 2), and they've said they're not turning it into an 'over-stylized action film'... *excited* Some guy's pictures from the set And incase someone's too lazy to find the "Silent Hill Gallery" link on that site Deejzguy posted, Photos!!!! Edit: One last note, that storyline that everyone thinks is the official storyline is not actually CONFIRMED to be the one they're going with... It popped up on the producer's website one day, then was taken down shortly thereafter... So it came from a credible source (the producer himself :p ) but nobody's sure what it is... Could be the final story, could be a decoy, could be an earlier idea or something... Either way it's very vague, although it seems to be borrowing a lot from the first game... |
Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
omfg I'm so damn excited for this movie. Like DH, I've been following it for a while. :]
Can't wait. |

Oh well, it can still become a cult film I guess. :( *spoilers* Official title: Silent Hill: Centralia Official Plot: Quote:

That site's information is compiled largely by user submissions... It's not called Centralia or "Silent Hill: Centralia"... Centralia is the name of a (mostly abandoned) town in PA where an underground coal mine fire has been burning for about 40 years... They were using it as a 'code name' (like how Return of the Jedi was called "Blue Harvest" or something) as an attempt to keep crazy fans away from the set (didn't work)... When the name Centralia popped up as the name of the movie, all the fans flipped out and were like "OMFGZ WHY WOULD THEY CHANGE THE NAME!! *online petition*"... Fanboys are hilarious... it was like the worst-kept secret ever in the movie industry... |

Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
All video game based movies start out good with unknowns. I mean, you can't possibly imagine your favorite game characters played by well known hollywood celebrities.
It gives off that certain feeling, when watching new faces play out your video game fave. |

Will this compliment the SH storyline or is it just an interpretation of it? |

.... Or some BS like that, my point is it's a vague plotline overview (of what might not even be the official plot) that's worthy of the back of a DVD box... Silent Hill's storyline really comes to life in the details, of which there are none in that summary... Anyways, the general plot does sound a lot like the idea of Silent Hill 1, but nobody's sure if it's a sort of "retooling" of that storyline, or where in the already-established timeline it falls (if anywhere)... A lot of fans jump to conclusions and say "It's just Silent Hill 1 with Harry as a woman!"... But that's a stupid assumption to make this early on... My guess is that it's taking that fairly basic plot idea of Silent Hill 1, scooping out most of the innards, and creating a new plot (therefore full of new potential for surprises instead of 'Been there, done that') that still says very faithful to the source material (at least they've been saying that)... I could rant on all day about how I'm sick of the fanboys and crap nitpicking and bitching and writing off the movie as crap based on a brief, unconfirmed summary, but I think I'll stop there... |
Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
Well.. I'll just go ahead and say this movie is projected to be awesome in my opinion... and could be very scary. I don't like how the Resident Evil series has taken a steer towards action-horror... I remember RE1 when I was scared throughout the game... now everything is looking forward to killing zombies and huge monsters. And as such, like the movies... they are more action then scary.
I hope Silent Hill doesn' t take that turn. |

And there was another little quote where they said that they'd classify it as a psychological thriller/horror or something... So basically, it doesn't appear to be taking the crum-bum Resident Evil route... If it did, it would automatically be crap (at least when compared to actual Silent Hill)... But now it is still on track for nice fun potential... and stuff... |

Update from Roger Avary's blog (he's the writer).

Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
Just to go along with the video game movie thing, Vin Diesel is set to be Agent 47 in the upcoming Hitman movie.

Just look at them all whine about it. Fanboys are so stubborn... it's hilarious... "IT'S NOT CANON!!!11" Edit: Oh and if you'd been following SH movie news and discussion, you'd have heard the report that monsters will be fully CGI (which lots of fans didn't want to hear)... however, with a Pyramid Head and little children on set, that's obviously not the case... Oh and screw Vin Diesel should die :> |
Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
What are pyramid heads?

Re: Silent Hill....The movie!

Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
Whats wrong wity Pyramid Head? He's probably the scariest monster in the whole series, although I havent played 4 yet.

So the Pyramid Head is exclusive to James now? And the call themselves fans? The creators themselves have clearly stated otherwise... What a bunch of cry ass morons. |
Re: Silent Hill....The movie!
Like Jason asked, what's wrong with them. What's the story behind them. Why aren't they canon?
Edit: and remember, with canon you can. |

Pyramid Head is one of those monster bosses that constantly follow James and they are used as symbols of James' guilt (he did something bad, but that'd spoil the story :]). But you see, they can't be exclusive to James' troubled mind becauseee.... There were actually two brothers during the Civil War era who would execute people together. They wore pyramid shaped hoods. There's more history to them, but I don't know it well :P So yeah, Pyramid Head isn't only a creation of James' mind. btw, i'm tired of fanboys bitching constantly about one thing or another. They should only bitch after they've seen the movie. |

Although I'd like to add that the incarnation of PH we see in SH2 DOES reflect various thoughts and such from James' mind... Pyramid Head's various... Interactions with Maria... And MONSTER SEX!... James' desire to be punished, and the fact that James is a perverted little man... But the basic IMAGE and idea behind Pyramid Head is indeed based in the history of the town, not James' mind... So someone else could easily see a Pyramid Head wandering around, it just won't necesarily be violating monsters :> |
