I hope that helmet stays on. Pyramid Head is suppose to resemble executioners and executioner's heads aren't revealed.

Although it would be rather cool to see nothing under the helmet. ^^

It's based on the game but is it based on the storyline from the game? Because I'm pretty damn sure that the 1st and 2nd game, the main character was a guy, wasn't it?

It's supposed to be based on SH1, they changed Harry into a girl because his actions were too 'feminine'. Of course the add elements from 2/3/4.

I don't get what you mean "changed" Harry? I thought that this story could theoretically work in parallel to the video game's?

No.

No way it could.

Aw nuts. I don't like that :(

Double Post:
Are they going to go through with the whole Daughter of God, Mother of God plotline? I can't say I really like this idea. I'd rather they create a totally different plot or a plot that works in paralell but uses similar ideas.

I guess if it's a good movie, it's not to bad, but I wanted the movie to count almost as canon, I guess :(

How could you not want the storyline of SH1. I mean come on it was brilliant. Not to mention we haven't got a videogame yet that basically followed one game.

I guess I mean to say I want it entirely or something different; not a bastardization of the plot simply because Harry was super effeminate.

Up until now I thought that the plot simply worked in parallel to the events of Silent Hill 1, not that it was the Silent Hill 1 plot but with a woman replacing Harry.

James was pretty faggy too, to be honest. The only thing that saved him was the fact that he obviously liked attractive women. (Henry was a non-character, so I won't even consider him.) Are we just going to disclude men from the Silent Hill movies because none of them are super manly?

Basically, Gans (director) & Akira Yamoka did an interview basically saying this movie was part 1, though they made changes so that it could be a coherent movie. They did this so that the backstory of Silent Hill could be introduced in film, opening up the possiblity for movies based on the other games, even completely original stories, in the series.

Also, if they nd up making The Room into a movie, it'll most likely have a male lead. So, along with James, that makes 2 possible male leads. Well, if Silent Hill makes any money.

Oh, I think it'll make plenty of money. Most gamers already know about this movie and will most likely watch it. Non-gamers who don't know will hear about it from their gamer friends, tv trailers (non yet) and theater trailers (it's the same one on the website. Resident Evil, which was ok IMO, made a lot of money and they have a sequal. According to the ending there's going to be a third movie.

ooo, that reveal spoiler button is nifty!!

I think it'll make money. It doesnt really look like a video game movie... Alot of people (whom are not into games) don't know what SH is, and thus wont instantly decide its just another VG movie... and most fans are actually supporting the movie so far.

I'm sure the theaters will be full on April 21st. =D

The new Fangoria magazine on store shelves now has plenty of details on the film but one of the big pieces of information is that Konami is planning a re-release/remake of the original Silent Hill in the near future. Apparently Yamaoka and Team Silent liked the change of Harry Mason to a female lead so much that the re-release will incorporate the same change.

Other info in the mag includes Konami having already approached Gans with another one of their properties to be adapted to the big screen, Gans having agreed to do a sequel if the first film proves successful and some spoiler plot information.

Re-release of the game for which console(s)? That sounds interesting. If the game features the same character from the movie, then I'll take the sex change of the main character far more seriously.

That's actually pretty exciting news.

I wonder what other property they offered to Gans. Maybe MGS, or better yet a epic dark fantasy Castlevania!

Paul W.S Anderson is working on Castlevania so it ain't that. I doubt it's MGS either since Hideo Kojima has been pretty vocal that no director, especially Dr. Boll, has been approached nor are there any plans for a feature film at this time.

It's Rumble Roses. Why lie.

I honestly hope that situation remains like this because the MGS series has always had astronomical cinematic quality in and of itself. I highly doubt a movie (unless a truly great director is at the helm) could possibly improve upon those production values.

I think they'll cancel the distribution of this movie on April 2nd. Just my luck. :(

I disagree. I don't think the production values are so great that they cannot be reproduced or improved upon.

Nevertheless, there are some games that can be shortened to a two hour span and there are some that cannot. When people say stuff like, "zomg, Final Fantasy X should be a movie" I go, what? How can you cram 40 hours of game into such a small timeslot.

That said, Metal Gear games are too lengthy to try to accurately depict on the big screen.

Although I've always felt that certain games would make interesting live-action, one-season series. (I don't think this would work with Silent Hill.) That's just a random idea though. I doubt it will ever happen.

I disagree. A lot longer storylines have been told in under two hours. Games just divide out their story into a longer duration, because, you know, there's something else besides story in them.

Like what storylines?

Honestly, you think Snake can fight Revolver Ocelot, Psycho Mantis, Vulcan Raven (twice!), Sniper Wolf, Cyborg Ninja, Metal Gear, and Liquid Snake in a two hour timespan? Or what, are they just going throw away half the bosses?

Double Post:
Oh yeah, and a Hind D.

I'd see that other than that DoA shit.

Come on, you guys know what it is:

No, you idiot.









DDR. Duh.

The movie needs to stay to the storyline with a really scary flare. The pictures of Pyramid Head scares me :(
