Sadly, if he has the money to win the bid for the movie liescence, he can make the movie, and he has gotten his movie fundings in Germany

Anyways, I made that last joke up myself.

it ultimately rests on Konami's willingness to co-operate with the movie producer and i think we can safely trust in Konami and Hideo to not fuck up. Besides start worrying about the Devil May Cry movie.

EDIT: How the crap do I get Metal Slug 3 to work in mame? It keeps giving me this crap:

"Boll recently claimed that "people" approached him with the script for Metal Gear Solid, but creator Hideo Kojima denied this claim. [11]"
Anyways, keep in mind that the guys who make the games don't always have a say in the matter.

Why the hell would you want to make a movie out of Metal Gear Solid when that's pretty much what it already is?

While we're on the subject of video game movies, not to mention MGS, I realized a few weeks ago that the Metroid movie would work really well as an MGS ripoff, with the FOXHOUND members being replaced by pirate generals or something of that caliber, Liquid Snake being replaced by Mother Brain, Metal Gear being replaced by the army of Metroids, and the colonel being replaced by some Galactic Federation guy. I'm not sure what they'd do with Gray Fox though (maybe the baby Metroid, which Samus could find on Zebes instead of SR-388?), and they'd probably need to get rid of Meryl completely.

Also Otacon could be some loser pacifist space pirate

You are absolutely right about that. Really, why waste film on something inferior, and why try to top an already awesome performance? You can't reproduce the performances and all the situations from this game into a live action movie. Fuck Uwe Boll up his stupid ass, I ass.

So was making Metroid into a movie, but that didn't stop John Woo.

Girl Drink Drunk · #85

Well, at least John Woo isn't a terrible director, unlike a few people.

Although I saw it first on the net, I couldn't believe it when the ad aired on Spike (yes, we get American stations, crappy or not).

Watch Clip 1.

ArrowX · #88

That scared me and it didn't even have a cheap "jump out" scare in it.

But where are the crazy skeletony headed gass mask people from?

Guitar Woman · #89

Those 3D effects looked like something from the first harry potter

Emu · #90

Guitar Woman · #91

That's bad, because he first harry potter had crappy 3D effects

Emu · #92

I thought they looked pretty good

SH's that is

In researching the different elements of Silent Hill, screenwriter Roger Avary (Killing Zoe, The Rules of Attraction) came across the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania (it's interesting that LA moviemakers look to the deep Midwest when they're looking for something "strange" or "different"). Centralia planted the seed for what developed into the cinematic version of the town of Silent Hill.

As recently as 1981, there were over 1,000 residents living in Centralia, although the population has now dwindled to 11 (we'll say that again: 11 people) as a result of a 40-year mine fire burning beneath the borough (we'll say that again: it's been burning for 40 years... underneath the town). This is certainly not unlike Silent Hill, which was left deserted since devastating coal fires ravaged the town and its people.

The inferno started when a trash fire was lit in an abandoned mine pit in Centralia in 1962. The fire ignited an exposed vein of coal and spread throughout the mines beneath the borough. Several attempts have been made and millions of dollars have been spent unsuccessfully to extinguish this fire that still burns today.

The "problem" wasn't really acknowledged until a series of accidents in the '70s and '80s, including the appearances of sinkholes hundreds of feet deep. In 1984, Congress allocated more than $40 million for relocation efforts, and most residents moved to nearby Mount Carmel and Ashland.

However, a very few families opted to stay, and they're still there, despite the fact that the state of Pennsylvania has condemned all the buildings in the borough and the US Postal Service has revoked its zip code of 17927. The 11 holdouts include the town's 89-year-old mayor, Lamar Mervine, who refuses to leave because "I like it here."

You can find more information on Centralia, Pennsylvania here. Or perhaps one day you will heed its call and find yourself exploring its deserted streets...

Well, almost deserted.

Its not supposed to be realistic, chunks of skin are falling off the walls, how could you compare that to something you see in every day life. Its silent hill its supposed to be a surreal experience.

Guitar Woman · #95

Lord of the rings wan't supposed to be realistic either with fucking 100 FOOT TALL ELEPHANTS but those didn't look like something from a PS1 FMV sequence

ArrowX · #96

damn good point.

Call me crazy, but not a super huge CG fan, Im actually kinda worried that from what Ive seen in the trailer, the whole alternate world of Silent Hill will look too much like a new-generation Silent Hill game with an actress stuck in it. I donno. I hope it works for the best, but I personally think that CG is overated and can look really fake or take away something from a movie. I shouldnt say that the CG would look "unrealistic" (considering the game), but it kinda makes it like an actor super-imposed in some videogame, visually, and it looks less organic. Still, I am really pulling for this movie.
