As far as videogame movies go,Silent Hillwasn’t really that bad. In fact, for the thirst forty-five minutes, it was actually pretty fun, and if you allowed yourself to ignore the niggling issues only a purist fanboy could have and pretended that the “scary little girl” cliché wasn’t being used, it was a decent enough flick.
Naturally, thatcannotbe accepted, so Hollywood is having another crack of the whip in an effort to verify we get a truly despicableSilent Hillmovie. That’s right,Silent Hill 2has officially been given the green light.
The newscomes with wordthat screenwriter Roger Avary and producer Samuel Hadida have signed on to make the film. If all goes to plan, the movie will be shot next year by Davis Films onceResident Evil: Afterlifehas successfully ruined everybody’s lives. Davis Films is also working on theReturn to Castle Wolfensteinmovie.
This will doubtless be based on theSilent Hill 2videogame, possibly with a returning Sean Bean looking for his wife.Silent Hill 2is among my favorite games of all time, so I fear that my purist fanboy rage may not be contained for a second outing. We shall see. I am really not very hopeful that lightning can strike twice and we’ll get yet another bearable videogame movie.
