If one of the "Masters" from TEAM SILENT says this about SH:Revelations, then it must be pretty damn good! I can't wait!"As the concept of the movie started to work out, I could just relate every detail. . . All the fans will enjoy it for sure, and it's going to be awesome!" - Akira Yamaoka
That means nothing. If he doesn't like the movie, do you really think that he's going to say it in an interview?Scanman wrote:If one of the "Masters" from TEAM SILENT says this about SH:Revelations, then it must be pretty damn good!"As the concept of the movie started to work out, I could just relate every detail. . .

It's possible. I know Rick Riordan, author of the source material for the Percy Jackson films, came off as neutral at best when he's been asked about the film.Hydra666 wrote:That means nothing.

He could have said nothing. Or just the basic reply. Instead he actually seems excited over it! That's a good thing!That means nothing. If he doesn't like the movie, do you really think that he's going to say it in an interview?
I will go with the idea that he basically said nothing much at all. He simply said it was very nostalgic and he could create of link to the games in any scene. He never actually said if he thought the film in itself turned out great only that working on it was great.Scanman wrote:He could have said nothing. Or just the basic reply.

What? He did say he thought the film was "awesome" and that fans are going to love it! Look -chounokoe wrote:I will go with the idea that he basically said nothing much at all.

I think this really short statement says nothing at all.
That pretty much sums it up right there!"As the concept of the movie started to work out, I could just relate every detail. . . All the fans will enjoy it for sure, and it's going to be awesome!" - Akira Yamaoka
Hmm, he sure did...Scanman wrote:That pretty much sums it up right there!
I don't think he would say it if he didn't think it. Cuz if the movie sucked, Akira would be mad that Bassett & Co. pissed all over his baby. Wouldn't you agree? I think he would be even more critical since he was part of the original creative team.chounokoe wrote:Hmm, he sure did...Scanman wrote:That pretty much sums it up right there!
Somehow that part didn't stand out as much when read in context. But still I find his way of answering that question kind of murky.
Not saying I want the movie to turn out bad, but I'm not yet ready to put all my hopes in a small answer from a (probably) translated interview with a man that is clearly not completely impartial considering this film.
I suppose I just don't want to get all excited over one small sentence.
Here in this interview, he didn't seem as excited or mention that it was awesome and that every fan of the Silent Hill games will LOVE it! You can tell that he was almost just being nice during this interview. He said nothing about the story and only complimented the visual aspect about Silent Hill, because Gans did nail that. But, IMO, Gans and Avery dropped the ball by changing the story because in SH the movie, instead of Alessa trying to save the world by sealing up the town and protecting herself from the Order (like in the game), she is hell bent on destroying her persecutors with a violent murderous rage! It just changes the tone of the story. Plus, the brethren with Christabella just don't do it for me! I enjoyed the film by Gans aesthetically only as well. Anyways, I seem to be drifting away on an off-topic tangent. So back on topic - My point is that Akira seems to really enjoy how Revelation turned out and it shows. If one of "Team Silent" expresses their joy, then we should have little to fear. But I understand your healthy skepticism. . .EGM: What does Akira think of the additions Christophe has made to the world of Silent Hill?
Akira Yamaoka: After seeing the film, I think that Christophe has really expressed the elements of Silent Hill, and he's really kept the themes alive in this new medium. Silent Hill is not just a horror game, there is human drama rooted very deeply in the story, and I feel that he expressed that very well with the visuals, sounds, and atmosphere in the film. By watching the film, I feel that you'll get a clearer and deeper understanding of the world of Silent Hill, more so than simply playing the games.
But do you actually think that the production company would be alright with an interview being printed that basically said "our movie sucks"? Yamaoka is at least receiving something by his tunes being used so he would be interested himself that the movie doesn't get a bad reputation before it is even released.Scanman wrote:I don't think he would say it if he didn't think it.

"Akira Yamaoka says the movie's gonna be great!"
"Yeah, but he probably doesn't mean it."
