As of yesterday, Bloody Disgusting confirmed that the always lovely (but most annoying person imaginable on a commentary track) Milla Jovovich was set to star in…

…really?

Another movie based on a video game? Another movie based on another survival horror video game?

Well, maybe not. Yesterday, a source confirmed to BD that Milla was to star in a new adaptation of Clock Tower. Today, however, an official Milla fansite has denied the story. I hope they’re right. Milla is a talented actress who deserves better roles, despite her rather shrill personality in real life.

It just so happens that I played Clock Tower back in the day, and as I recall it was basically a low-rent version of the Resident Evil games. Can you imagine the movie based on a video game that was a bad, Americanized copy of a video game that spawned at best one half good movie and two terrible sequels?

Don’t do it, Milla. Let somebody put you in a good movie for a change.

Currently, Clock Tower is set to be directed by Martin Weisz (The Hills Have Eyes 2), has a host of writers including the talented Todd Farmer, and has Brittany Snow on board. It’s early in the game, so, as usual, things are subject to change.

What do you think? Should Jovovich keep starring in video game movies? Is there someone else that would be better for Clock Tower? Did we post this news just to find pictures of Milla Jovovich?
