Silent Hill to be a movie Trilogy!
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/10211
According to Rodger Avery who was at the Spike TV hooror awards show, Sony is planning for Silent Hill to continue on into a trilogy! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you feel) Avery said that he would only come back to write for the 2nd movie if Gans comes back.
In terms of a SH trilogy I think that's pretty sweet

A trilogy makes me wonder about one of the movies. Will it pull resident evil and continue it's own little storyline or will we get to see a SH2 or even a completely original installment?
I have a small problem with the idea of SH2 being a movie in the fact that James' story is sooooo heavily inspired by films...to the point where a film inspired by a game that was inspired by film is kind of detrimental to the originality of the story - especially since the main twist in the game is the main twist of another movie.

I personally think they will do it like a Resident Evil style and maybe continue from where it left off, maybe just making up a new script, as they would have had to write a plain new script for the first movie, with all the different characters and plots. If not, I think it'd go straight into Silent Hill 3, then maybe the last movie of the trilogy would become more of a SH2/SH5 (as it would have been out a few years by then) movie, since SH4 didn't really do as good.

This has me really excited, to be honest. I think the best thing for the movie series would be to take it in a different direction than the games (like RE, as Smokey mentioned), as we would all complain if they ruined one of the stories from the games. Besides, even if they could do a movie based directly on one of the games pretty well, why sit through the exact same thing again? I'm very glad the first movie wasn't an exact repeat of the first game. I'm sure the Silent Hill franchise has an awful lot of story potential that hasn't been tapped yet.
I'll tell you one thing, though. After all of that screentime wasted on the Chris subplot, they better make better use of Sean Bean in the next movie!

Honestly, I don't think we have to consider a direct game plot >to> movie plot anytime soon, that never happens. Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Silent Hill....none of them were really mirrored from the games, the closted one was Silent Hill.

Ok I promise that I am holding my tongue on this...because I could say a lot more than what I'm about to say.Krist. wrote:
Gans isn't going back for the 2nd film, which means no Avary. Which means two more movies that are potentially poo-poo. I will, however, be excited about further news.
This is great news, Krist. But hey, if they are still trying to adapt the game, I won't get my hopes up. I just wish they'd leave the specific games alone. Besides we already know those stories.
Really part of me wants another movie while the other part is like...just stop it, already - damage done.
