UPDATE: While we've confirmed our previously reported rumor, it appears Milla is denying the claim via an official fansite. I guess it's time to file this one back as RUMOR once again, although I'm quite sure this will be announced shortly." We have confirmed our story we broke last week that Milla Jovovich is now set to play Alyssa Barron in Senator Entertainment and The Weinstein Company's Clock Tower, the adaptation of the best-selling survival horror videogame franchise from Capcom (Resident Evil, Street Fighter). Jovovich has starred in films such as THE FIFTH ELEMENT, the RESIDENT EVIL franchise, ULTRAVIOLET and will be appearing in THE 4TH KIND and A PERFECT GETAWAY. Shooting is scheduled for November in Los Angeles.
I liked all of the clock tower games i remember that they were pretty creepy especially #3. I am a fan of Milla and liked her in the Resident Evil movies this could be a good movie. Cant wait to see how it shapes up
Whilst I think Milla is still sex on legs, I have played a Clock Tower games and I'm sure the character was around 14yrs old. So there isn't any teenager actors that can fill this role? It's just like getting a dark haired actor to play Lestat in Queen of the Damned, when I'm sure there were thousands of out of work blonde blue-eyed actors out there.
Let's just hope that this is as good an adaptation of a survival horror game as Silent Hill was.
but is Milla now taking over the role that was rumored to go to Brittany (god i hope so!)?
also, most/many people have NEVER heard of Clocktower, so i don't think changing the age of the protagonist is that big a deal. Lestat from Rice's books was a enormously well known character from an enormously well known book.
ummm....isnt the girl shes playing a 14 year old!?!?!?! I was REALLY hoping to see Brittany Snow do something more violent and edgy, so im really disapointed. I dont know WHERE this film is going now. A remake of ghosthead? Ghosthead was the WEAKEST one in the series!!! WTF IS WRONG WITH HOLLYWOOD!!!!>!>!>>!>!!?!?!?!!??!?! DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see where you are coming from. Yes they can change the age due to the 'lack of' popularity or exposure of this title - but if they are going to make it PG-13 like most drab horror these days due to wanting to tap the teenage market, why change a teenage chracter into an adult?
Well just like always it will be MADE rated R and then edited down to PG-13+ by hollywood execs who are out of touch with today's generation and the horror genre...
Kaname, i can actually live with a movie that's been shot as an R rated film and then cut down to PG-13 as long as the movie is restored to an R for the DVD. Prom Night was shot AS a PG-13 (dare i say) "film" (LOL).
I agree about the releasing as R rated on dvd, but I grew up with Hammer Horror and such movies as Count Yorga, Vampire and the eurohorror of Jean Rollin and Jess Franco etc, so watered down stuff doesn't please me in the slightest. I haven't seen Prom Night - 'slasher' genre pics don't really interest me...
Horror is best with no-names...Milla is hot, but she has a habit of being in shitty films (RE3). If this gets a PG-13 tag, I'm out. The game was rated M, so there's no excuse...
You hope this will be as good an adaptation as Silent Hill was? The footage of my colonoscopy was more entertaining than the Silent Hill movie, so I think we're pretty safe on that one.
wow, I'm sorry but Milla in another video game adaptation? will she ever just move on, and try bigger better things? Oh thats right, she can't. She's a terrible actress, I'm sorry.
Oh and wasn't the character that shes playing a non fighter? IF so, I doubt she'll stay that way, considering all she does now is action/fighter/bad ass roles. With the exception of the occasional comedy.
OK, forget my last posts. apparently the Milla.com website is going to be updated to show that Milla IS going to be doing this film. the character is going (for the movie) to be aged from 14 to 30's. i'm back to being psyched!
DAMN!! Colin, thanx for the update. i LOVE Milla and i was excited to have her star in this movie. oh well at least we get Perfect Getaway (i forget the new title) and Azezel and The 4th Kind.
