Avary to write/direct Driver? News

PlayStation 2 Xbox News by Tom Bramwell

24 April, 2006

Variety reckons that Roger Avary is to write and direct a film based on Driver.

Avary's certainly capable. Most recently of course he wrote a script for the Silent Hill film - currently showing in the UK - which the film critics are panning but which Rob says is really good. (And we all believe Rob, yes?)

But whether you like SH or not, he's done plenty of other things - including co-writing Pulp Fiction, which was full of the sort of dialogue that would make a Driver film rocket past.

If Variety's right, Driver will eventually be distributed by Rogue Pictures.

The most recent Driver game, Parallel Lines, marked something of a return to form for the series - but mainly in the sense that it didn't make us want to shove hand grenades in our eyes the way Driv3r did.

Well, not as much source material for him to work on I guess...but the script for Silent Hill is really faithful so I dunno what to make of this little project.

hmmm - critics may haye it but a $20 mill opening weekend isn't bad
esp for a R rated film - thats good 7/10 from imdb too.

Silent Hill: The Movie is superb.

Gans has a few missteps throughout but it's a visceral thing, and looks absolutely stunning. Best game adaptation yet, but it's really to the general public's detriment: they adapted SH1's story and that's the hardest to follow put of all the games.

I loved it.

Saw Silent Hill today...was not impressed, neither was anyone else I was with. I expected much more for this tho. The only bit i really liked was Pyramid Head.

like Advent Children, i guess it was very much made for the fans of the series. Everyone else need not apply...

I loved both :)

i thought the Silent HIll film was utterly terrible. it started off promisingly, but the final 45mins or so were honestly the worst 45mins of film i think i've ever seen.
