Remember when we heard that Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) was going to write the script for Silent Hill 2, and then he was sentenced to a year in prison? What’s going to go on now?
“Well, we have had a bit of a hiccup with Roger. We’re just debating whether we can wait for him. He’s writing the script for sure.” – producer Don Carmody
Well what about Christophe Gans, he’ll return…right?
“I don’t think he wants to come back. He’ll have some input for sure. In his mind, I think he wanted to do the first one and for this he’s very happy to consult, but I think he wants to direct something new. I think we need to make it a little more accessible to the movie-going public. Silent Hill is not a blockbuster game like Resident Evil or the other games out there. It’s a connoisseurs’ game. It has its own, rabid fan base. They’re not cheap, these things. You have to appeal not only to the gamers, you have to appeal to a wider audience. So we have to get some story in there that helps explain a bit more. I think that’s all happening. Of course, [the story] is going to happen years later and the main character – without giving too much away – is much older and representative to the movie-going public which is in that age group.” – producer Don Carmody
Well..I rather liked the first one, and now I’m losing interest in the second one. What do you guys have to say?
