Want to hear a real "unsubstantiated wild rumor?" The Moviehole site posted a story that claims someone saw online notes that put Keanu Reeves in the title role for the screen version. Let's us all bow our heads in prayer.
Christophe Gans did an interview with DVDRama, in which he claims that a sequel to "Silent Hill" is on the offing. Since that interview was in French, here is some of the translation from joblo.com: "Gans is happy because Silent Hill is one of the biggest horror success of 2006 in terme of box-office. He arrives 3rd after Saw 3 and an american haunting. One of his goals for Silent Hill 2 is to correct mistakes he made with the 1st one which cost him a lot of energy. However, he wonders if he can truly come back for a 2nd movie because of Onimusha. He says that if he doesn't come back, producers agree with him that the 2nd movie should keep the visual aspect of the 1st one. There is no way they are bringing a whole new vision of the town's design. He doesn't want a hollywoodian movie. If he doesn't come back as a director, he strongly suggest an European (and even a French) one. He will however stay close to this movie."
Godfather of Soul
Variety reports that Spike Lee has signed on to direct a feature film about the late "Godfather of Soul" James Brown. The Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment feature for Paramount Pictures will be, as announced by Paramount spokeswoman Nancy Kirkpatrick: "It's an authorized biography done with the cooperation of Mr. Brown before his passing." Grazer said: "Having known him well, and after spending lots of time with him and researching his life, it's somehow not surprising that he died on Christmas Day. He was the ultimate showman, all the way to the end."
