Later this week we’ll post an interview with SILENT HILL screenwriter Roger Avary for everyone to enjoy, but until then, I thought I’d share some interesting tidbits from the chat.
On the likelihood of a sequel:
I confess that idea has already been floated. People have already asked my availability and I’m already thinking about it.
What happened to his blog?:
I feel kinda bad because I’ve heard that people are upset that I just pulled the plug on that…I just want to create something that nobody’s seen yet. I don’t know that it’s going to be any new technological breakthrough, because I like websites to be as simple and compliant as possible without requiring Flash, or even Java necessarily. So when it’s done I’ll put it up and who knows, it may grow from there.
Any truth to fan speculation that a Metal Gear Solid movie might be coming?:
Fans should definitely hold out hope for a Metal Gear Solid movie. I of course know nothing about such a movie being just a humble writer, but fans should definitely hold out hope. That would be an awesome movie.
A teaser of what his future holds:
[I’m doing] a game to film adaptation, and there was no possibility I was going to get the chance to do this. Yet amazingly enough, I got The Call. I was literally screaming on the phone, “Are you kidding me? Is this the call?” And they were like, “Yeah, yeah, this is the call.”
I am completely over the moon about it because it is a return to genre for me. I think it’s going to be an opportunity to do something that is just balls out fun, which I’ve long wanted to do.
The dude was awesome to chat with, so keep an eye out for the full goodness around mid-week.
