Critical Consensus: "King" And "Queen" Are Movie Royalty; "Labyrinth" Worth Exploring; "Hitcher" Not Screened
![]()
This week lighting up your local theaters, we have a little girl lost somewhere between reality and fantasy ("Pan's Labyrinth," starring Ivana Baquero), the royal lady herself ("The Queen," starring Helen Mirren), a charming and murderous dictator ("The Last King of Scotland," with Forest Whitaker), and a hitchhiker with a sinister destination in mind ("The Hitcher," starring Sean Bean and Sophia Bush).

Sean Bean to Become the New "Hitcher"
![]()
At first I was mostly skeptical regarding this remake of "The Hitcher" that's being set up at Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes outfit. But after reading a few interviews with the original screenwriter (Jake Wade Wall, not Eric Red) and seeing the early casting news, I'm beginning to hold out some hope here. Yes, that's right: Sean Bean will be stepping into the role made infamous by Sir Rutger Hauer.

"Silent Hill" Inspired by a (Real) Creepy Town?
![]()
IGN FilmForce continues to dole out some great pre-release coverage for Silent Hill, the based-on-a-video game horror flick from Christophe Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf) and Roger Avary (The Rules of Attraction). Seems that the screenwriter used the actual town of Centralia, PA, as some sort of inspiration ... and it sounds like a pretty creepy place.

Trailer Bulletin: Silent Hill
![]()
From the director of "Brotherhood of the Wolf" and the writer of "The Rules of Attraction," (two criminally underrated flicks in my book) comes the horror game adaptation known as "Silent Hill." And I may be nuts, but based on this teaser trailer, I'm thinking this flick might just be the one to break that "video game movies invariably suck" theory that's been the bane of genre fans for quite a few years now.
