Even a glorious story like SH needs to be a bit redesigned to make a movie.
And though the initial story is loosely based on the original Silent Hill, I am doubting they'll shoot for a sequel, so they will likely mix in story/character elements from all of the games (or maybe just 1 and 2, even still).
Pyramid Head IS Silent Hill, just like Disney IS America. When you see him, you think SILENT HILL. It's like when you see Spongebob you think Nickelodeon (and you also think "Lord I want to kill that squishy, yellow sonofabitch). AND, a Silent Hill movie without PH just isn't a Silent Hill movie, IMO.
Ultimately, I hope they don't puree the plot. SH2 could be played independently, which gives filmmakers and advantage, and combining the stories wouldn't be a chore.
