No, there’s not a set visit from us, this is from the blog of the screen writer Roger Avary:
The soundstages are filled with the amazing work of Carol Spier — giant, vaulted, three-story interiors as well as numerous winding corridors that are representations straight out of the game. I can’t show you any pictures, because photography is harshly restricted — but I can tell you with no hesitation that they are simply HUGE. Seeing the nine-foot-tall Red Pyramid wander around alongside the four-foot gray children somehow makes the mood on the set oddly joyful…
…Later, editor Sebastien Prangere shows me and my daughter some cut footage — and it’s striking, even though it hasn’t yet been treated with the many layers of effects and filters that will give it the Silent Hill feel…
…One thing is for certain as I watch Christophe set up a multi-camera sequence with dueling Technocranes: the shots are pure Gans. His eye is evident in every setup, and in every choice of lens (anamorphic 24mm seems to be a favorite). This is, without question, a Christophe Gans film.
Sounds like Avary is impressed, and considering he wrote the screenplay I’d say that it’s something for the writer to be impressed with the Director’s treatment of his work, often they aren’t so impressed, or the movie ends up being very different from their original script. Still, it does sound as though he is impressed and that there is a lot of effort being pushed into this movie. I wonder if this could come out on the better side of the adaptations? What do you guys, the fans of Silent Hill, think of the sound of this?
