Well if you’re like me then you’re always happy to get more info on Christophe Gans next project, SILENT HILL. One of our readers pointed us in the direction of a translation of a French interview with Gans concerning the video game adaptation. Not the clearest piece of text ever, but certainly interesting.
At the end of the article, the poster provides some key bullet points which I’ve included below. Then if you’re still thirsty for more you can go check out the full interview transcript here.
– Finally we know that the movie IS an adaptation of SILENT HILL 1, but also with some elements of 2 and 3… But again, NOT a prequel, NOT a straight game-to-movie-translation, an ADAPTATION of SH1…
– He confirms: The music WILL be composed by Akira Yamoaka
– He says that the movie isn’t a gore film, but that it definitely wouldn’t pass for a PG-13 rating, adding that there is also some nudity (I’m thinking either dealing with Pyramid Head, or perhaps nasty scenes of Alessa having her bandages changed)
– There are apparently four ‘worlds’ in the game (I believe they are the Real World, The Foggy World, ‘Alternate’ Silent Hill, and ‘Paradise’)
– And just for kicks, when asked if he thinks there have been any good game-based movies, his response was “For the moment, no.”
