But now I'm wondering if including the original music from the games and putting them in the movie is the greatest idea. Don't get me wrong, the music in SH 2-4 can easily pass in a film, but the problem is the songs themselves. Practically all the music in the SH series is context-sensitive to the games they were made for. The song used in the trailers, for example works great at the situation it was originally intended for (the piano melody played when you meet Angela in the hotel), but the question is whether it can work in a totally seperate story and situation.

You're right, but I think you might be a little pessimistic about this. I mean, I didn't really like promise (reprise) used in the TV trailer (Reminded me too much of Angela) But I think they can definately pull it off. i.e. One of the movie clips featured the piano part of "Innocent Moon" during a conversation between 2 characters, and another clip actually played "Letter ~ From the Lost Days" in the car! (If you've played SH3, you'd know that this played in a car with Heather & Douglas)
So I personally think they'll do a great job with music. (Pray they'll put in "betrayal" for PH, that would kick ass)

I was all for Yamaoka's music being used, but to have the entire soundtrack consist of previous music? It almost feels like a way to save money. I would have preferred a whole new soundtrack composed by Yamaoka.

Hmm, I actually really like it like this, cheap way out or not. It's very nostalgic for me when I hear that.. (I've definately smiled when Black Fairy was played for a few seconds in a trailer)
This movie couldn't come any sooner. =D
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
