Roger Avary (THE RULES OF ATTRACTION), screenwriter of the upcoming SILENT HILL movie, based on Konami’s horror-video game of the same name, has posted an update of sorts on his personal website.
I’m sitting in the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, which is oddly identical to the Air France lounge, waiting for my flight to Toronto. Silent Hill is beginning preproduction, and I’m needed for some light script polishing on location. I must say, this film is crewing up quite nicely. There’s Andrew Mason producing, Production Designer Carol Spier recreating the look of the game, Wendy Partridge weaving costumes, and Patrick Tatopolous creating all of the denizens of Silent Hill. It seems as though Samuel Hadida is giving Christophe all of the tools he needs to make a proper adaptation. More updates daily (and hopefully pictures)…
This has me pretty psyched. After all, SILENT HILL is nothing if not a stylish, gory, atmospheric piece. For anyone who’s played, or even seen anything about the video game, I don’t know how you can’t be excited about this movie. It’s got all the elements to go very right. I mean, spine-tingling sounds, fog, darkness, a radio that emits static at a faster rate when your unseen enemies approach, creative and seriously twisted monsters…there’s no reason why this shouldn’t end up being the best video game adaptation yet. And a horror classic to boot.
