Movies About Dead Things
Things are moving painfully slowly but surely on the film adaptation of the Silent Hill series of video games (that we sometimes find too scary to play... seriously). Roger Avary, the film's screenwriter, has made some enthusiastic comments (link via Dread Central) regarding the casting for the project. In particular, he seems to be pushing pretty hard for Julia Sandberg Hansson (who appears [with some digital alterations] above), one particularly zealous Silent Hill fan, to have at least a small part.
Rumors abound as to which (if any) of the games the film will be based on, but we can't help but think that Ms. Hansson would be a great Heather (from SH3).
But wait, there's more! We've stolen some other movie news that seems worth passing on. Peter Jackson, king of the fanboys, is planning on making an adaptiation of The Lovely Bones the follow up to his King Kong remake, which is currently in production.
As popular as Bones was, it's no surprise that it's going to get the Hollywood treatment, but it's nice to know that it'll be in such good hands. The book was absolutely gorgeous (and the bummer to end all bummers), but it's all too easy to imagine it suffering a grisly Touched by an Angel-style reworking had it been entrusted to a lesser talent. So, you know, yay!
