Despite the fact that the first installment of Silent Hill was widely regarded as  a huge embarrassing failure, the rumors have been confirmed true–there will be a sequel.  Writer Roger Avary will be heading up work on the script,  which will hopefully manage to be, you know, GOOD, this time.

Okay, I’m being unfair, not to mention grossly oversimplifying things.  It’s not that Silent Hill was BAD, really, it’s more like the last fifteen or twenty minutes or so were a horrendous wreck.  The rest of it was at least passable, so I confess that I’m kind of looking forward to see what they do with Silent Hill 2 just to see if maybe this time they can fix some of the problems they had before. Oh, and the whole “it’s already well underway” line turned out to be a load.  By all available reports the script doesn’t even technically exist yet.

And they definitely had a lot of problems.  In fact, the problems from the last one were so big that, as of right now, no one can be a hundred percent sure if any of the original actors are coming back.  No one’s even really sure as to what the storyline is, either.

But hopefully things will improve and we don’t need to be afraid of how horrendously this one will turn out.
