It was alright.
Young Bill Pullman would have been the best James
Robert Pattinson takes on roles for small movies all the time. Ever hear of Good Time? The Lighthouse? There are many more examples too, and these are all post-Twilight.
No, he's not.
Exactly. And both the examples you provided are very good movies for a reason. They have great professionals behind it, such as writers, directors, actors etc. That's what balance the equation when it comes to picking small movies over blockbusters once in a while. That's what "lures" good actors into small movies.
It's one of the best movie from a game, atmosphere is just incredible.
I wonder if Gans will drop a cameo for him and Radha Mitchell, showing them forever trappedNo Sean Bean ?
Oh yeah, I forgot all about that. Been a while since I saw either of those films but I actually saw the second one only once many years ago, and I honestly would rather forget that it even exists at all. It was just horrible.Actually, that’s how the second film ended, Harry going back to Silent Hill to find Rose, it seemed the director (a different one from the guy who did 1 and this upcoming one) somehow thought he could adapt SH2 that way ignoring the facts that:
1) Harry did not kill his wife, thus how can it be like 2?
2) he just abandoned his daughter, with his bullshit excuse that Vincent can look after her. Oh yes, if you didn’t see the second film, Vincent has been changed from a creepy, manipulative asshole to a pretty boy love interest for Heather (oh, don’t worry, they de-aged him down to her age, as if that wouldn’t make SH fans still want to gag). Never mind Harry barely knows Vincent, hell Heather has known him for like a day.
3. Oh yeah, and confused that Harry is alive?? Trust me, we all are, as Heather having to fight the urge to give in to hatred over her father’s death was kind of her main character arc in the game, but now she’s slightly inconvenienced by him being kidnapped. Sean Bean dies in movies/TV all the time, way to fuck up one of the most plot relevant times one of his characters needed to die. Oh, and of course, this means Douglas dies instead after like one scene, just removing a character with a lot of depth so we can focus more on Vincent‘s romance with Heather which feels like fanfiction written by a creepy dude going, “man, I want this adult man to hook up with this 17 year old girl, but no way will they let that be in the movie, wait, I’ve got it, I’ll make him her age, which definitely won’t make the people who played the game want to apply some brain bleach!”
As someone who loves Silent Hill 3 so much it’s personally in my top 10 favorite games of all time, its why the second movie is my most hated film of all time. The first movie is by no means perfect, but it’s a decent film and even its changes are nothing compared to the shitshow that was the second film.
(oh, and don’t think the second film was content with a sequel hook for a SH2 “adaptation”. Oh no, it also ends with Heather and Vincent hitching a ride with Travis from Silent Hill Origins, and as they’re leaving a prison bus passes them which would be setup for a Downpour adaptation. Hey, director and writer, maybe worry less about setting up three “adaptations” and worry more about not making the film you’re currently on not be one of the most disrespectful adaptations of all time?!)
You mean Jacqueline.
Weird thing about the first film is that it used a lot of tracks from the SH2 OST. I agree. I had a copy back in 2006 and when the Homecoming game came out GameStop gave the film DVD with the purchase of the game. For what it is, it isn’t terrible.
There being a female protagonist or antagonist has nothing to do with what I'm saying at all. It makes zero sense to have an all-female cast for the plot of the first Silent Hill. It has to do with the writer/director and his weird-ass horror fantasies. Also, Alessa is the Devil in the movie. There is no Devil in the video games. There is no PH or Lying Figure in the plot of SH1. There is nothing that represents Alessa in the movie. Nothing makes sense. Why you think those ideas fit the theme of the first SH game is beyond me. They appear as homages. Not because they make sense in the movie because it doesn't. Just like the music which I'm really surprised they didn't make original besides being slightly edited. There is no trama going on with any of the characters. There is nothing to care about.
Don't think it's unpopular.
I think it was left open to interpretation. I think James left with Laura and he planned on repenting for his guilt by giving her a good life.
The only negative was Sean Bean didn’t die.
