Gaming fans, starting working on your Photoshop skills... TriStar Pictures is accepting fan submissions for the official Silent Hill movie poster. The studio announced the contest today and said that entrants will also be able to view their posters via mobile phone and have friends vote using text messaging on their own wireless devices.
How can you enter? Check out the movie's website at WelcomeToSilentHill.com where you can download various visual assets from the forthcoming game-to-film adaptation. The deadline given for submissions is January 3, 2006. Entries will be posted on January 4th and online and wireless voting will commence.
On January 17th, TriStar Pictures will review the 50 posters with the most votes for a selection of five finalists. The finalists will be posted on January 20th and fans will cast their votes for the winner. TriStar will unveil the winning poster on February 22, which will then be displayed in theaters across the country prior to the release of Silent Hill.
The anticipated adaptation from director Christophe Gans and screenwriter Roger Avary arrives in theaters on April 21, 2006. The story is set in the eerie and deserted ghost town of Silent Hill and centers around a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child's illness. Unable to accept the doctor's diagnosis that her daughter should be permanently institutionalized for psychiatric care, Rose (Radha Mitchell) flees with her child, heading for the abandoned town in search of answers -- and ignoring the protests of her husband (Sean Bean). It's soon clear this place is unlike anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches. As Rose searches for her little girl, she begins to learn the history of the strange town and realizes that her daughter is just a pawn in a larger game.
