We’ve chatted about the Silent Hill 2 film in the past, and last thing we heard, we only knew that Silent Hill director Christophe Gans would probably not be coming back for round two (which is a shame, as I think he captured the feel of the SH universe pretty well). According to Bloody Disgusting, it seems like there’s some possibility that Roger Avary may take on making Silent Hill 2.
According to an interview on ChuckPalahniuk.net with author Bret Easton Ellis, Avary’s name came up in relation to a film adaption of Glamorama, one of Ellis’ most popular novels. Ellis replied “He’s going to be shooting Silent Hill 2. As far as Glamorama, it’s just very hard to get the money to make it.” Bad news for Glamorama — and that would make a great film — but this sounds like a promising possibility.
For those of you unfamiliar with Avary, he worked on most of the key Quentin Tarentino films (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and True Romance) as well as penning the first Silent Hill script. Silent Hill 2 is a big story to take on, though. I wonder if Avary can do it justice?
