Video Game Director Keith Arem Heading to Frost Road

3 hours ago | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Now here's a switch -- instead of turning a video game into a movie, a heralded video game director has been tapped to direct a feature film, and he's even written the script himself!

According to Variety Keith Arem, director of Activision Blizzard's blockbuster sequel 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2' will make his feature directing bow on 'Frost Road', an action thriller that Cary Brokaw (Hammer Films' The Resident) will produce along with Steven L'Heureux. Brokaw will produce through his Avenue Pictures shingle, while L'Heureux will work through his Solipsist Films.

Arem (whose gaming credits also include Lord of the Rings, Spider-Man, Rainbow Six, Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Guitar Hero, and more) will co-produce through his Pcb Productions, and in addition to writing the script, he and Brandon Humphreys are developing the project as a graphic novel with Christopher Shy illustrating.

Twitter lands Oscar-winning screenwriter back in jail

12 hours ago | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

Screenwriter Roger Avary, who shared a 1995 Oscar-win for Best Screenplay with Quentin Tarantino for Pulp Fiction, will have to serve the remaining nine months of a one-year sentence in jail because of his time spent on Twitter. Avary, 44, was found guilty of driving while intoxicated which resulted in the death of one of his passengers, Andreas Zini, 34, of Modena, Italy. The accident occured in January 2008 when Avary was speeding down a Pch highway while returning to his home from a local bar.

In August 2009 Avary pled guilty to a charge of gross vehicular manslaughter and other related charges. The prosecution asked that Avary serve jail time of nearly seven years but the judge ruled the writer spend one year in a work furlough program, allowing him the opportunity to go to a job at a production company during working hours and work on screenplays for two films, Wolfenstein and Silent Hill 2. That's what Avary did, »

30 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »

Action superstar Bruce Willis (the Die Hard franchise) headlines another spectacular thrill ride in the gripping film Surrogates, coming to Blu-ray® Hi-Def and DVD on January 26, 2010 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

Both DVD and Blu-ray editions come with an array of bonus features that not only invite viewers to delve deep into the darkly imaginative world of Surrogates, but describe how this futuristic idea is not such a far-off reality.

Based on the enormously popular graphic novel created by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele, Surrogates also stars Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill), Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible), James Cromwell (Spider-man 3) and Rosamund Pike (An Education).

FBI agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) lives in a world where robotic surrogates stand in for people, protecting them from violence, contagion—and the appearance of aging. »

My 'Case 39' Asks, Where Are the Cool Images?

27 November 2009 6:33 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

The wait is (supposedly) over come January 1st, 2010 when Paramount rings in the New Year with a new evil child movie. After sitting on the shelf for years now, the studio is hoping to release Case 39, which stars Renee Zellweger (lemons anyone?), Jodelle Ferland (the creepy kid from Silent Hill) and Bradley Cooper (the reason the movie is probably finally getting released - The Hangover). Below you can check out a whole new batch of stills from the film directed by Christian Alvart (Pandorum). It centers on an idealistic social worker (Zellweger) who saves an abused 10-year-old girl from her parents only to discover that things are not as they appear. »

Blu-ray review: Kevin Smith 3-Movie Collection (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)

24 November 2009 12:48 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

The newly released Kevin Smith three-movie box set contains the popular director’s three most popular films in beautiful Blu-ray quality. Containing his debut Clerks, along with Chasing Amy and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, Smith’s new box set captures a lot of crap you missed the first time around.

Kevin Smith is usually a big hit with internet writers thanks in part to his humble origin, legendary (or hyped, depending on who you ask) beginnings and his rather soft physique. He also represents the film/comic book/video game subculture, which has made serious strides to becoming a mainstream, high covered phenomenon on the verge of losing its trademark and sarcasm.

Or he just makes funny movies.

The legend of Kevin Smith is a classic American success story. A film school reject, Smith decided to break away from schools, books and teacher’s dirty looks and make his »

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Movie Gets a Pair of Writers

23 November 2009 7:07 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

It continues to perplex me why, exactly, studios insist on producing big-budget motion pictures based on video games. The track record for such an expensive endeavor is spotty at best, especially in terms of box office success. With the exception of “Silent Hill” and the “Resident Evil” series, I can’t think of any other adaptations that come close to capturing the spirit of the source material. That being said, if there’s a possibility that an IP can make a few dollars on the big screen, someone out there will try their best to make it happen. You can’t blame a greedy, opportunistic producer for trying, right? Latino Review is reporting today that “Sahara” and “A Sound of Thunder” scribes Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly have been hired to pen the upcoming “Uncharted” flick, which should follow the events portrayed in the first installment of the series. »

Producer Provides Update on "Silent Hill 2"

22 November 2009 1:18 PM, PST | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »

ShockTillYouDrop.com talked exclusively to "Silent Hill" producer Don Carmody about the possible sequel to the video game adaptation. Here's a clip: "I think we need to make it a little more accessible to the movie-going public," he says frankly. "Silent Hill is not a blockbuster game like Resident Evil or the other games out there. It's a connoisseurs' game. It has its own, rabid fan base. They're not cheap, these things. You have to appeal not only to the gamers, you have to appeal to a wider audience. So we have to get some story in there that helps explain a bit more. I think that's all happening. Of course, [the story] is going to happen years later and the main character - without giving too much away - is much older and representative to the movie-going public which is in that... »

More Updates on Silent Hill 2

20 November 2009 11:31 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

With Silent Hill 2 starting producition in 2010, more details about the sequel are emerging. ShockTillYouDrop spoke to Silent Hill producer Don Carmody about what is lined up for the sequel, which Carmody says will be different from its predecessor.

I think we need to make it a little more accessible to the movie-going public. Silent Hill is not a blockbuster game like Resident Evil or the other games out there. It's a connoisseurs' game. It has its own, rabid fan base. They're not cheap, these things. You have to appeal not only to the gamers, you have to appeal to a wider audience. So we have to get some story in there that helps explain a bit more. I think that's all happening. Of course, [the story] is going to happen years later and the main character — without giving too much away — is much older and representative to the movie-going public which is in that age group. »

Silent Hill 2 Details Starting To Emerge

20 November 2009 9:56 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Until they announced Silent Hill 2 recently, I had no idea how many Screen Rant readers were actually fans of Christophe Gans’ 2006 movie adaptation. But now that I know, I’m keeping you guys in the loop about the sequel is developing.

Earlier (this week) I reported that Silent Hill 2 could possibly start filming next year. In that report came word that returning writer Roger Avary (Pulp Fiction) has some ‘crazy, cool stuff’ already worked into the script. That all sounded good, but questions like would Gans be returning, would star Radha Mitchell be returning, would the movie be a direct sequel, etc., still needed answering.

Well, thanks to producer Don Carmody and Shock Til Ya Drop, some of those questions are indeed starting to get answered.

 

For those who don’t know, Roger Avary was recently sentenced to a year in jail following a vehicular manslaughter charge from a 2008 car accident. »

Excl: Producer Updates Us on Silent Hill 2

19 November 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Silent Hill 2 's future was looking pretty foggy. After grossing nearly $100 million in worldwide box office receipts, there was the question of whether a follow-up to Christophe Gans' 2006 adaptation of the Silent Hill video game was even going to happen. After all, it was met with a mixed audience reaction. Some were dissatisfied with the story; others appreciated the familiar villains and brutal violence. Then, in September, Davis Films officially announced Roger Avary ( Pulp Fiction ) was returning to pen the next entry and production was to rev up shortly after Resident Evil: Afterlife wrapped in Toronto, Canada. Avary, however, was sentenced to prison for a year in the weeks following this news, leaving the status of the sequel up in the air. "Well, we... »

Silent Hill 2 (Possibly) Filming in 2010

16 November 2009 8:57 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Shock Til Ya Drop was recently on the set of the upcoming horror/action franchise sequel, Resident Evil: Afterlife, where they caught up with makeup effects designer Paul Jones, the guy responsible for creating the hellish world of the 2006 Silent Hill movie and will be (presumably) returning for the recently confirmed sequel, Silent Hill 2.

Jones had some nice (if not brief) tidbits to share about what Silent Hill 2 is shaping up to be, along with the mention that filming on the sequel could begin sometime next year. As somebody who’s a fan of both the Silent Hill video game series And the movie adaptation, color me excited.

 

Here’s what Jones had to say on the subject of Silent Hill 2:

“I was working on storyboards for that around the same time last year…It’s going to be pretty crazy. There’s a lot of cool stuff in there. »

Mark your calendars, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will hit shelves this December for the Nintendo Wii says Konami.

The Wii edition will feature platform-specific features that use the system’s controller.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will arrive for the Wii on December 8th. No word yet on a release on PSP and PS3 but an announcement is expected soon.

Silent Hill 2 to Start Production in 2010?

13 November 2009 1:31 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

ShockTillYouDrop stopped by the set of Resident Evil: Afterlife where Silent Hill's special makeup effects designer Paul Jones gave an update for the upcoming sequel, saying production could begin as early as next year.

I was working on storyboards for that around the same time last year. It's going to be pretty crazy. There's a lot of cool stuff in there. Roger [Avary] has some awesome ideas and hopefully we're going to bring that to fruition sometime next year.

Avary wrote the original Silent Hill and was hired to write the sequel right before he was sentenced to prison for gross vehicular manslaughter. A judge allowed Avary to enter a furlough program that allowed him to continue to write the script for Silent Hill 2. Jones would not comment on whether the script was complete.

A 2010 start date may be a little generous considering Silent Hill 2 currently has no director or cast attached. »
