Hmmm interesting... The Silent Hill movie looks to have a nostalgia look to the film

There's going to be a Silent Hill movie?

Hmmmm, it's French. The director is the guy who did Brotherhood of the Wolf, which I liked. But also the "Necronomicon", which I didn't.

But seems odd that given there is no shortage of decent Japanese horror directors, that they didn't use one of them, since the series is Japanese (albeit set in the US). Ryuhei Kitamura would be perfect.

Yeah, they were filming in Brantford while I was away at school here in Windsor. I remember my brother telling me, and saving all (or maybe just a few, I can't remember) the clippings from the newspaper.

Well, the director is French. But the writer (Roger Avary, best known for co-writing "Pulp Fiction") is not. The four top-listed stars are Australian, American, English, and Canadian. It's pretty wide-ranging that way. It's not going to be in French, either.

Being, what I consider, some of the best video games ever, I have hopes for this movie. I know its dangerous to get my hopes up on a movie based on a video game. I've been burned before, but I just can't help it. I love the Silent Hill franchise.

The trailer looks interesting. I'm wondering if that's indicative of what the movie will actually look like or if that's just something for the trailer. I havn't seen Brotherhood of the Wolf. Maybe I should check it out.

The main company behind it, Davis Films, is French.

"Davis Films of France and Japanese video game software maker Konami Corp. said Thursday they have agreed to make a movie based on Konami's popular 'Silent Hill' game series. The movie will be directed by Christophe Gans, who previously directed 'The Brotherhood of the Wolf' and 'Crying Freeman,' Konami said, adding the film's storyline and budget have yet to be decided."

And one of the writers is French. (And Roger Avary sounds like a French-Canadian, though I dunno. He's done a lot of films in France).


Anyway, that doesn't really matter. I just thought it somewhat odd, since as I mentioned, there's no shortage of Japanese horror directors/writers, and the games were done by a Japanese company. You'd get a more authentic feel, I'd think.

Still, this is the same company that did Resident Evil. Which I didn't think was too bad, though not much like the games.

(Though to be honest, the only recent French horror movie I've seen, besides the Resident Evil movies, is "Bloody Mallory", which I loved, but was extremely campy.)

I loved Resident Evil the movie. I thought it captured the feel of the video games very well. The teaser looks very good for Silent Hill as well. So I'm feeling positive about this so far.
