Well it certainly appears VERY much that way.

fav line: "Oh God bless the man who bought this!" Only person I could imagine saying that is Mel Brooks.

I know your retort is going to be " I write for fun" but why copy the same concept of Silent Hill? Was it too hard to maybe have the girl search for her father? Is that boring?

Seriously people if you're going to change a few names here and there and throw in a few curse words for your characters, then why don't you do a cut and paste job from GAMEFAQS and alter those to yuor hearts content

Yeah I agree there, I doubt there's been a game movie that had the exact storyline of the game. Character likeness yes but not the exact story

Sure, the setup is the same but its a completely different story. Bearing that in mind, I still think you should give it a shot.

WOW! I read it and I want my 48 minutes and 52 seconds back! What are you doin here? This could get you sured by Konami, you do know that right?

SILENT HILL "the movie" with a different name and characters. And I wonder why hollywood is struggling to make new movies. Who wouldn't want to just remake them, when this is all everybody comes up with?

Very general and very run of the mill.

The storyline is NOT the same. I dont know where you come from saying that. There's similarities, (The town, the fog) the premise is almost the same (Father loses daughter in town) but it stops the moment he's in the town.

It don't matter if it's the exact same or not... the opening of your movie is the same and most of anyone who knows anything about anything -- Will spot it a mile away and asume the rest of the movie is a SH knock off.

Try to write outside the box. You see... hollywood and MTV has ruined the culture of music and movies for everyone. This is the time when us guys, can step up and make something new, fresh, inovative and above all else -- original!!!

Your movie is none of the above.

Ooh and by the way,  they are making SILENT HILL into a movie. It will be released sometime, late 2004 or early 2005.

You can't be sued unless you're trying to sell it

wrong... you can be sued if you take someone else’s copyrighted work and pass it off as your own even if you're not trying to sell it.   For example if you posted a re-write of a movie you didn't own the rights to,  you've opened up yourself to a copyright infringement lawsuit and possibly theft of intellectual property, especially if you’ve listed yourself as the author of the material.

I cant and wont be sued. Unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that everything is the same, which it ISNT, then they cant.

Guys, seriously, I know it starts out the same. I know the premise and the atmosphere is the same. But have you READ the rest? I'm not trying to be a bitch or anything, but when I'm flat out being accused of plagarism and a liar in the same phrase it pisses me off because I know I didnt copy the damn game. I didnt even get to finish that game (although I did finish 2 and some of 3).

Please guys, can you please put those notions aside and look at the quality of the script.

Yes, the game, not to mention THe FOG, Hard Rain, and a wealth of others were influences for this script.  But I know i didnt copy that game, whether you believe me or not. This was my first script, written five years ago, so yes I agree with all of you that the creative level is lower than my recent scripts. I merely polished it recently and wanted some feedback. But yet I keep getting accused of plagarism.

i know I sound like abitch that cant take criticism, but I assure you, I can. Check the other threads. what I DONT like is being called a liar etc.

Once again,m Ill state this like I did in a pat thread: my mother is a lawyer, I know the law very well, and have a well of knowledge just downstairs if I dont know something. I started out with a premise I loved and ran with it. Where was 706, Gabriel, and eveything else past page 30 in ANY of the Silent Hill games?

But I guarantee you after today Im gonna go back and fix any of those scenes that seem too familiar. But I cant change the premise at this point.

Please guys, I just want criticism on the script, not my honesty.

I'll second that.  Read what he wrote.  Discuss the merits of the script as a whole.  Would you slam someone as hard for their script of "Frankenstein"?

Quoted from Don, posted May 29th, 2004, 10:46pm at here

Probably, if it followed the same "scene context" as Mary Shelly's story.

Without trying to sound mean, I really can't suggest any tips to improve it as the whole story sounds familiar to that particular game.

Considering you said you wrote this five years ago, then I'm sure you have written much better material since then.
