Then, he realizes he's in the town of Silent Hill and meets a man named Zono who talks and looks like Zini. Avary experiences all these weird psychological events projected from his mind and he awakens to find out he killed his friend.

Silent Hill 6, coming to XBox, PC, Wii, and PS3 in June 2010.

Got off easy.

I guess he'll be writing it from prison. I don't think there's anything that would stop him.

Is it because they're celebtrities, how do you get drunk, kill some one, and get a year in jail (or 30 days if you're Donte Stallworth)?

 

[Nakecat]

i wouldn't even call him a writer of silent hill, he just took the plot from the game, made some changes and put it in the movie... the movie wasn't even that great anyway, the original is still the best.

On their honeymoon....that is just horrible.

 

[h0llow]

wow, talk about picking favorites in court. they wouldn't do crap like that to the normal working class. We'd be in for life probably.

I'm confused with the story... Avary's wife? Zini's wife? He was drunk and drove into a telephone pole at 100mph... Avary's wife was ejected from vehicle and seriously injured... but Zini's wife was in another car. Where was Andreas Zini? So did Roger Avary get any injury?

He should be in for more than 1 year. Driving drunk = 1 year, driving drunk and crash no death = 2 years, driving drunk and crash with death = 10 years. Driving not drunk and crash with death = life.

Avary shouldn't have been driving period. If the other 3 adults were NOT drunk... why weren't they driving?

avary, his wife and zini where in avary's car and zini's wife was following in their car. avary was spared major injury by the safety restraint system in his luxury car, but the angle they hit the pole caused zini to be struck and crushed by the vehicle body and avary's wife was sent flying out a window.

they give these rich and 'famous' people less time than your normal joe because they're considered to be useful to society. the punishment is generally said to reflect the value of the person to society. normal people are a dime a dozen but the rich protect their own. not saying it's right but that seems to be the way it works... sad really because i'm sure zini's wife doesn't feel her husband was worth any less than avary..

 

[gorehound]

"Got off easy."
Oh yes, killing your friend and severely injuring his wife while driving home drunk from a party, suffering through endless legal procedures and media exposure of the fact and then going to prison for it.

I'm sure his life is a dance on roses right about now.

But you're probably right, 25 years to life locked up with no human contact aside from hardened criminals would make him a much better person. Show him the error of his ways and really make him appreciate his dead friend.

Yes, that was sarcasm in case it didn't show.

 

[CoryInJapan]

Man why didnt he just smoke weed instead of drink that dangerous drug alcohol..
I hate drunk people and they're idiotic mistakes..Its unfortunate some people had to die because of this mans unwise choice but now this sucks because I was looking forward to the second silent hill movie.

 

[Maxor127]

Dude obviously wasn't wearing his seatbelt. It was an accident. Shit happens.

 

[Major7up]

Sad story, but I also think he should be in longer than 1 year. That does not seem like justice to me.

Silent Hill The Movie? SFW?

I take it that you believe the sentence was proportionate to the crime. Of course, it is stupendous fucktards like yourself that always cry foul, until it is someone you love that is the victim. In that case, you cry that the person did not get enough jail time.

You are a sorry piece of shit.

crashed his Mercedes into a telephone poll.

How do you crash your car into a telephone poll? Was he talking on his phone while driving? Or was he answering a poll about telephones?

Can someone check the facts on this one???
