UHM - Fatal Frame

CURRENT STATUS

3/04/07
A couple years have passed and still nothing, so it's probably in some sort of development hell.

2/10/05
One of the producers for the film has an online journal where he occasionally posts about his projects, one of which just happened to be the status of the Fatal Frame film. In it he reveals that a script is done and a director is in talks already. Plans are to have it go behind cameras later this year. He also reveals that fans can expect most of the film to take place in Japan.

10/01/03
Writer/producer John Rogers has signed on as producer. Dreamworks recently confirmed that the film is on the fast-track and the script is being finalized, with a director being named shortly, and casting beginning soon after. Rogers is reportedly thrilled to be on board with the project. It's said he was attracted to the production after hearing that the film would stay true to its original theme by keeping the storyline set in Japan.

He was quoted saying... "I was attracted to the idea of doing a classic, old school haunted house picture, by focusing, too, on cool Japanese cultural additions and different ghost 'mythos' most North American audiences are unfamiliar with, we can do something unique. None of the rules about the supernatural, the characters, or our audience apply in the Fatal Frame world."

N/A Date
Dreamworks President of Production, Mike DeLuca, was quoted saying this about the project...

"Our plan is to take the scariest video game of all time and transport that vision - complete with all the tension, fear, and storyline intact - to the big screen for everyone to experience. This is an exciting, new project with outstanding potential for DreamWorks."

Guided by her sixth sense and armed only with an antique camera, Miku sets to solve the mystery of her brother's sudden disappearance. He was a journalist on a quest to gather research about the mansion's haunted hisory. As the story unfolds, Muku discovers gruesome details about the Himura mansion's troubled past. The property and surrounding area have a dark history involving grisly murders, an evil cult, and restless spirits.

DETAILS

- Said to be an intended horror franchise.

This better be true. Fatal Frame scared the crap outta me when I first played it. If they do the movie right, this could seriously be the scariest movie ever.
