Sounds like an alternate telling of the first game.

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

I highly doubt thats the final cut (the stills)... but I don't see myself getting scared at a film this colorful... if the final cut blands the colors and cuts the lighting down... then maybe...

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

It's not, they're production stills (probably not even taken from the actual footage, but rather a still camera) that are nice and clean for the purpose of, among other things, being used to make a poster...

The lighting will get edited in post... I mean, they have them walking around with flashlights in those scenes, despite it being bright enough for them to see perfectly well :>

But yeah... *cough*

Ah, and Blacklotus emerges from out of the mysterious shadows of mystery and her mysterious connection with Neo to enlighten us all with her decidedly untrue facts about Silent Hill.

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

Do not judge lest ye be judged. The details that I have come across about Silent Hill - the movie, obviuosly aren't in finality, therefore if they're fact or fiction that's for you to decide. My mysterious connection with Neo will remain that- a mysterious connection. Thus into the darkness I return.

Le Pacte Des Loups! :love:

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

I am excited about this movie.

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

Exactly :>

This project actually has some talent behind it, and not only is it talent, but it's talent who is familiar with and cares about the source material...

Gans has been a fan of the Silent Hill series since the first one came out, and he had been trying to get a SH movie made pretty much ever since he played it...

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

judging upon what you all think of it when it comes out, will depend on whether I see it or not, so my fate rests on your shoulders! :D

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

we shall be careful judges for we take life seriously and wasting 90min of precious time you shall never get back would be a tragedy at least on a bad ...really bad film. ;)

Re: To continue the cross over--Silent Hill the movie
 

Actually if Silent Hill ends up being trash, it will have wasted 125 minutes of your time... :p

Most horror movies do end up around 90 minutes, so that's pretty long... Which, considering the source material, is probably a good thing...
