a bit old news i know, but i didnt see it anywhere on this msg board

Quote:

On December 24, 2006, in an interview in dvdrama.com, Silent Hill Writer/Director Christophe Gans announced that Sony has officially ordered another installment of Silent Hill. Gans also stated that he'd like to come back to the franchise, if his current commitment to Onimusha doesn't bar him from participating. In the event that Gans isn't available to direct the film personally, he recommended that it be helmed by another European Director, preferably a fellow Frenchman. Gans also confirmed that Roger Avary will be back to write the script. An English language translation of Gans' interview can be found on Gamespot.

considering how good SH1 was this isnt a suprise

i only hope the second wont ruin it

too bad we have to wait at least 1 year for more Pyramid Head carnage

The Silent Hill movie was weird, to me. All this freaky shit going on and the main character didn't hardly seem phased by any of it (other than trying not to die).

I never played the video game though, so I'm not really aware of the whole story. Plus I fell asleep like halfway through it...

SH1 wasn't really that good. It might be more accurate to say that it was "OK" and did a modest job of conveying the creepy confusion that is present in the games.

There are interesting things in Ganz's movie, but he managed to take the single most uninteresting tidbit of the Silent Hill universe and make a movie out of it. It was also pretty lame that the soundtrack was a compilation of existing music instead of a new and homogenous score by Yamaoka.

Onimusha will fit him better since it will be tough to do a plot more stupid than the ones of the games.

well, when i judge a movie i consider every aspect of it. the story is an important one, of course, but not the only one

considering how fucked up SH games are, its not an easy task to write a good script, and stay close to the original material

what made me love it was the atmosphere. It was dark, creepy and sick....just like the games. The special, visual and sound effects were fantastic

also, whatever flaw it may have, it's overbalanced by Pyramid Head deskinning the redhead bitch

Runnen · 03-19-2007, 02:05 PM

Indeed.

Ronne · 03-19-2007, 05:27 PM

^^ So win

I loved SH1, the little reaper girl was awesome. Looking forward to another, hopefuly with more time for rapes.

Movie Pyramid Head was about ten times cooler than the original.

Jysin-DW · 03-20-2007, 07:49 AM

I didnt think the SH movie was that bad. Especially when you consider what most game to movie adaptations are like! Like fucker posted, the creepy atmosphere, sound, and fx was kept true in the movie which is what really matters most about the SH franchise. While I dont think the original would gather any Oscar nominations, it was still enjoyable to watch.

I hope they dont tarnish that in the sequel.

Yep, most important aspect in a horror IMO. Those sirens definitely contributed.

Zimphultron · 03-25-2007, 07:52 PM

I loved where the sirens actually came from in the movie. Great idea :>

barb wire tentacle thing was good

but i continue to say that this movie should called "Silent Hill 2: Pyramid Head 2 hours non-stop mass raping"

and in the special features we could have a documentary called "Professor Pyramid Head"

its all about PH teaching to Freddy, Jason, Ash Williams, Pinhead and Samuel L. Jackson to be badasses on screen

(if anyone noticed, yes i like PH. and i have not even played SH2

)
