davidnI thought I'd do an update to prove I'm not dead. My project report is now at over 20,000 words and is approaching seventy pages, and I've reached the stage where I'm just picking at it rather than writing anything meaningful. So I've decided to leave that and work on something else - the trouble is that with Treasure Tower almost finished as well, I have a distinct lack of projects to keep me amused.
Therefore I've been going round the IMDB in between applying for jobs. The first point I noticed is that I can't believe that this is on it. I suppose now that it's had a DVD release it has every right to be, but it's still rather surreal.
Much more sensibly, I am finding myself most excited about the upcoming release of Silent Hill. Throughout its development, the plot seems to have been shifted around multiple times, but it now seems that it'll follow the storyline of the first game with Harry replaced by a new character called Rose. (And while it might be a strange decision, this might be for the best, because at least there's no possiblity of including the infamous "radio" line.) It takes elements from the first three games, though.
Have a look at the trailer - I'm just amazed how closely it follows the introductory scene of the game (though the graveyard scene later on looks a bit weird). However, it looks to be breaking new ground in being the first game-to-film conversion that isn't catastrophically terrible. And I'm sure having Sean Bean in it can't hurt.

Date: 2006-04-09 09:10 pm (UTC)THIS answers a lot of the aboe questions, and now am completely sporting a full on chubby for the Silent Hill movie. Some spoilers, but the way they've interpreted the story and monsters - holy shit it's amazing. They use the basic motifs of the series and craft it to their own. WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHY THE MONSTERS ARE THE WAY THEY ARE!
Possibly the best inerpretation I could hope for actually, and they made use of (slight spoiler) my favourite SH3 quote in their interpretation. Fuck yeah.
