I’ve mentioned Roger Avery’s web journal before, and it does make interesting reading. His latest post talks of the move to the second draft of the script and the hideaway that’s been hired for them.
I am about to depart for an undisclosed location, to begin my rewrite on “Silent Hill” with Christophe Gans…Samuel Hadida has rented a house in the hills where wayward filmmakers can come together to write and play videogames while being isolated from all the complications of daily life. I’m bringing my Xbox — there had better be a giant display with more colors than the human eye can process when I arrive. For sure there’s a pool — probably a party — definitely refreshments. With those necessary components in place we’ll have a draft sometime early next week.
Now that does sound cool, what a life.
Quick turnaround on the script once again, and it seems slightly worrying for all those who are eager for a decent treatment, but he does assure us that he is a fan, and for such gaming references (including the comments about a huge projector at the hideaway and the taking of his XBox) it sounds very promising. Indeed, Avary seems like a big games fan, and coupled with his excellent writing credits, I would think this could have a good shot.
On a slight sidetrack, that led me to think of other famous movie bloggers, and so far I’ve tracked down three…well two, one’s a stretch!
Jeff Bridges
Wil Wheaton
Jenna Jameson – Well, kinda in movies!
Can anyone think of more?
