Silent Hill movie confirmed

*Krutch* · 03-03-2004, 11:32 PM

I dont know if its old news now but finally Konami and New Line is going ahead on a Silent Hill movie. Hopefully its scary as hell and not another Resident Evil...

Now if only they can get the Metal Gear movie on the way...

**Jo Dawn** · 03-03-2004, 11:39 PM

Ooh, yeah, I've heard of this! And I hope it's scary too! I hope they make this one really good and scary.

It's a shame it's going to be garbage like Resident Evil, House of the Dead, and Final Fantasy...

**Jo Dawn** · 03-04-2004, 12:04 AM

Well, I'm really trying to be optimistic, here... But I wouldn't be surprised, either...

I try not to get myself hyped up over video game movies, as 90% of the time, they turn out crappy, but I really hope they do a good job with this one. Make it a horror/thriller, get a decent cast who can actually act, and it should be ok.

I second that, BUT!!! Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children looks quite amazing, though I wouldn't call that a real movie, since it won't be showed in theaters.

This is only going forward because Resident Evil DID make money and so did House of the Dead. The people thought they'd make far less than they actually did, so the companies are buying rights left and right. And with big actors starring in the new movies like Alone In The Dark, with Christian Slater (He's Gleaming The Cube, Baby). It's not people wanting to make a good movie true to the games, and to the fans, its about money. If it was about the fans, if it was about the stories, Leon Kennedy would be in Resident Evil 2, and not Milla and Jill.

Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare has to be the worst game ever made.

*Brodie* · 03-04-2004, 08:40 PM

I concure. But, for those of you who like good video games, check around, new Resident Evil 4 pics online, LEON IS BACK!

Wondering how he survived that?

or this....

Leon's a resourceful guy. Not to mention having a strand of the virus in him helps.

**Jo Dawn** · 03-04-2004, 09:49 PM

Ouch.

Ooh, those pictures do look great, though. I'll have to pick that game up when it gets released.

Thanks for the pics.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-05-2004, 05:28 AM

Wow... what a ripoff of Leatherface.

Even though I don't like FF, how can you say that it was garbage? It was a decent film.

*Taloniss* · 03-05-2004, 08:04 AM

Those pics are sweet. I can't wait for RE4 now

**azure turtle** · 03-05-2004, 01:00 PM

I really hope that the Silent Hill movie will follow the games... But it probably won't.

The first Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat movies are the only ones I can think of that somewhat followed the videogames.

Actually, it's supposed to be a nod to Leatherface and the Massacre series. The color of the game is tan/yellow tinted, to give it that TCM feel, and that guy is based off Leatherface. Not really a ripoff.

If those shots didn't fully hook you, know this: IGN.com's 'Cube editors say the game is "pants wettingly good and scary"...

I'd much rather see Eternal Darkness turned in to a movie or a mini series. That's easily one of the best story lines in a game, peroid. What other game spans 1000's of years?

Actually the director said its going to closely follow the story of the first Silent Hill(Harrys plot)..

*Brodie* · 03-06-2004, 07:32 PM

Silent Hill spooked me once or twice. I just hope they don't use the fog too much. Now what we need is a damn Devil May Cry movie.
