Creepy! I dig it.

[Captain Awesome]

oh shit, you see Pyramidhead for like a second :D

[AversionFX]

If they successfully pull this off, I will probably never be able to sleep for as long as I live.

Director from Brotherhood of the wolf and the original game composer is doing the music. So it could create less sleep for its viewers. O_O

[mkelehan]

Sold.

Sold.

[NELS]

Wow huge thumbs up!

Didn't see pyramid head... what time in the teaser does he show up?

EDIT: Nevermind I found him, toward the end throwing something (bloody?) on the camera right?

[Suicidal ShiZuru]

Thats the exact same thing that makes up the official sites entrance. Also its a TEASER so I seriously doubt the actualy movie will be as tense as that. If it is though then awesome...

[Twinkie]

Director from Brotherhood of the wolf

...somehow I've missed that bit of info before.


*glee*

I hope they have some of the original songs from the games...

They better pull this one off... And if this one does well... It better not have sequals like Resident Evil 2... *cough*

[Sloth]

if that is how the movie is going to look, visually, then this may be the best adaptation of a video game ever.

[Mason]

I don't know, a lot of this looks like redone clips from the games, so we have no reason to believe the film will directly resemble it.

[Echani]

My doubts and worries about this film are slowly slipping away... Only to be replaced with a numbing sense of dread. But it's the same kind of dread that kept me firmly in my seat playing the games at 4 am, so it's okay.

[Dirty Harry]

the music in the trailer is music from the game series, the second game i think, probally the third.

[IndependentGMR]

The music is definitely from the game. You gotta love Akira Yamaoka.

Edit: if you look at around second 25, you can see the legs of the nurses (I think). This teaser makes the movie look sweet, but I have to say that I'm a Silent Hill fanatic, so I might be biased. :D

[Hewie]

Can't wait for this one. A fair bit was filmed in Hamilton where I happen to live.

[Knite]

Too fast.. need more information... NEED INFORMATION!!!

GAH
Damn..... If they make this too well, I might need to find a woman to hold my hand to... err, I mean to hold her hand to comfort her on the way to the car. ;-)

[t3g]

I am a huge fan of the series who has played through 2, 3, and 4. My favorite is still the 2nd but the 3rd was really scary. I hope the movie turns out well and people of all types (aka non gamers) get interested.

[Knite]

t3g, if you can handle the jaggy graphics, you really should give 1 a try. To this day, nothing ever scared me as much (I know, I'm a wuss).
First time I played it was like a 10 hour marathon at a buddy's house with like 5 people on a 51" tv (before HD. hehe). We were going to leave at like 4 in the morning, and I specificically remember walking out to my car thinking... goddamnit, a game should never affect a mental state like this. lol

[Echani]

I'm not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on the forums, but for you US and DC residents, there's a poster contest on the official site (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/silenthill/). It doesn't finish until mid-January if I remember correctly, and the winner will receive $2,500 and a trove of other prizes. There's also placing for a couple of runners up. The rules are quite explicit (that your poster shouldn't be explicit, among other things), and they provide most of the material you'll need.

I'd totally win, no doubt about it :rolleyes:. But I don't live in the US.

Sorry for the sketchy details, but most of them slipped out along with my eligibility.

[Knite]

Holy crap... if you look at the first picture in the "download art" section... is it just me or are those Combine?!
=)

[darkwarrior]

It was confirmed somewhere that combine make a cameo.

[NELS]

Talking about the game, was anyone else really let down by 4?

[Morrolan]

Link appears to be dead. Any mirrors?

[IndependentGMR]

Talking about the game, was anyone else really let down by 4?

I wouldn't say I was let down, I just didn't like it as much as I liked the previous three. If I had to rate them, it would probably go like this: 2, 1, 3, 4

[protojack]

2 and 1 are the best, and i'll give 2 the edge because of the graphics. 3 and 4 are also good, but they're a step behind 2 and 1.

The Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series are must-haves for playing through in a group.

[Metalhaze]

This "teaser" was the flash intro to the official web site which was launched at the beginning of the week. This is nothing new.....

And btw there is something wrong with the link or the file so here is a link that works....

Here is the link to the official movie site:

Official Silent Hill Movie Site (http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/silenthill/index.html)

Also here is some more info about the film and the director and what the process has been for making the film....


also Pyramid heads are confirmed in the movie:

they said they're 9 feet tall...

And lastly, (copied and pasted from an official movie forum site) this is what the co-director had to say about the script writing (seems Christopher Ganes is obsessed...)

An update on his official site, Director Roger Avary updated us all on how his adaptation of the computer game "Silent Hill" is going:

"My life is consumed by it. The soundtrack to Silent Hill 2, the graphic novel, fan art, and of course, the games. I'm mostly spending the evenings re-playing Silent Hill 2 (my favorite of the series) on my French PS2, and then watching various DVDs that Christophe suggests are similar to the Silent Hill feel. Then, every morning at 10AM, a car picks me up from my apartment in St.-Germain-des-Pres to deliver me to the palatial offices of Samuel Hadida
(which we call KGB Central) where Christophe and I feverishly work alongside each other.

We have the entire 4th Floor production suite to ourselves. Christophe is obsessed with all sorts of obscure Italian soundtracks, which we listen to (along with the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack and heavy doses of Serge Gainsbourg) while we write. We've had a game system brought into the office so that we can take breaks to play. Usually, around 1PM we go out for a typical French
lunch, usually accompanied by a gathering of French cinephiles that seem to creep out of the woodwork.

After two or more hours of heated discussions of who is the Godfather about, exactly, Pacino or Brando (or some other tangential topic, like which recent American directors are the cinematic descendents of Claude Lelouche), we wander back to the office and finish off some more pages. I've eaten more bread, and drank more nuclear coffee in the last 10 days than I have in the last year. By night, I'm back to my little apartment -- typically French, with beams in the ceiling and creaky wood floors -- to continue trolling the Silent Hill universe for hidden clues. This may just be the best writing experience I've ever had.

Okay, one thing: WOULD YOU FREAKING SILENT HILL FANS PLEASE STOP SENDING ME YOUR SCRIPTS! I delete them without reading them, and it's getting a little absurd. I mean, does everyone who plays this game write a script immediately after finishing?! And please, stop asking me if I'm as obsessed with this game as you are. The answer is, NO, I'm not. But
Christophe Gans IS. I'm just writing down his interpretations and visions. I appreciate the concerns, and I'm happy to know what your favorite moments of the game are -- but please, relax a little. It's going to be a fantastic filmic experience -- Christophe is too obsessed with it for it not to be. Have faith".

[Orosco]

Oh man, as a huge SH fan, this looks really good. If someone told me it was a teaser for Silent Hill 5, I'd probably believe it.
