Silent Hill, Pulp Fiction Scribe Heads to Jail

Source:Yahoo!
September 30, 2009


If Silent Hill 2 - announced earlier this year (here) - is going to be written, it may have to be done from behind bars.

Silent Hill and Pulp Fiction screenwriter Roger Avary has been sentenced to a year in jail for his involvement in a 2008 fatal car crash.

Avary was behind the wheel when his car, traveling at more than 100 mph, crashed into a telephone pole. His wife was ejected from the car and later treated for life-threatening injuries. Another passenger in the car was killed.

The writer pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter in August. In addition to the jail sentence, he also received five years of probation.

Considering he was also driving drunk I'm surprised he didn't get a harsher sentence.

i'm sorry for the person who died in the crash but this does suck. i was just wondering last night what was going on with SH2. maybe someone else can write it. i LOVE SH1 but it's not like the writing was THE best thing ever. it was the acting and ESPECIALLY the visuals/monsters. so they can find someone else and GET THIS MOVIE STARTED (of course it was planned to start after RES EVIL:AFTERLIFE wrapped)!!

Something tells me that, considering the light sentence, that he'll still be able to write while incarcerated. Strangely this maybe good for Silent Hill..

But also if any one read the other article recently about SH2 they said this was coming. The Avery, the studio.. every one.. knew he was going to plea this way so really it shouldn't hinder any thing, they were prepared I'm sure.

If he can handle writing a script with pen & paper, not even being incarcerated could stop him from penning this movie.

And he's a right-rich enough bastard that i'm pretty sure he can get some blue pens & a couple notepads from commissary.

It's not like the Judge said "NO writing implements for you, because that's what you do!"
