It's been a long while since we've heard anything about the proposed Silent Hill movie, but today some news has landed at our feet courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter. Based on the popular video game, of course, the film will center on "a mother and daughter's quest to discover the secrets of the seemingly abandoned town of Silent Hill." Roger Avary (The Rules of Attraction) has recently handed in his script, and Christopher Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf) is still on board to direct. Silent Hill is now being fast-tracked, with production scheduled to start in March.

this is going to be one of those movies that has only one of two outcomes:
1) it is an incredibly good movie, which may or may not be critically acclaimed, but will get a high box office and a large following.
2) it is an out and out piece of garbage, with a preview featuring the words "one woman's journey" or "in a world," but will get a high box office and a large "cult" following.
personally, i think it's gonne be number 2 there. i don't WANT it to be, this just seems the kind of game that can't properly be translated into movie without changing a lot of important things. in all honesty though, i don't care. i'm gonna see it, not because the silent hill games were "scary" but because they had good stories.
oh yes, one other thing. regardless of the movie being good or not, there will be a number of vocal hardcore fans of the silent hill games who, regardless of whether or not they enjoyed the movie, will whine long and loud about discrepancies, much like with the spider-man movies.
