Fast forward to fall 2009 when the filmmaker began blogging from what seemed like prison — it was later revealed that he was tweeting from a Ventura County work furlough program and not in “prison” per se. Avary was sent to prison for the rest of his one year-sentence. He did not tweet his experiences.
Horror magazine asked Silent Hill 2 producer Don Carmody about the status of the picture. “A little stalled now because of [writer/director] Roger Avary’s [legal problems], so a little unsure yet,” Carmody told Fangoria. “The original plan was Roger writing and polishing the screenplay, and when he had finished his thing, we’d begin full-blown preproduction.” He is not sure of the current status.
“We know we want to make Silent Hill 2 and have a basic outline for it. We’ll have to see.”
Avary apparently was released from Ventura County Prison last month. He has not updated his Twitter account since last November.
