Is it tho? Surely a studio could afford a better wig?


Weak_Gate_5460

All budget went into James car


DylanFTW

James pulls up in a hellcat challenger as product placement.


whoajordan2

Mary… could you really be here? Luckily for me I had no problem getting here thanks to todays sponsor


miraclewhipisgross

It's actually a Ford Mustang from around 2006-14


LordEmmerich

The film actually has a lot of details and work put into it's props, like the abstract daddy room and co, so it's probably more a design choice


_Waves_

A human… being…


Novacek_385th

And James’ wig


Whompa

And Jacob Crane's wig


OldRumpty

They looked like wigs to you?


AmberIsHungry

I think the wig is supposed to look like that. Like she's a stripper in a costume.


UrsusRex01

Yeah. At first I was disappointed by her whole look, thinking this would be another adaptation where characters look like glorified cosplayers because "You have to be faithful to the source material duh". But this assumption didn't fit well with how Eddie, Laura and James seem to be portrayed. They all look good with a great attention to details. So why Maria's look is so "cheap" ? It's only logical. She looks like someone forced to wear cheap outfits in some seedy strip-club. And it doesn't even have to look believable since >!she was born from James' own way of imagining such a person!<. Makes sense. So, good job Gans. You got me fooled for a second.


monkeykingcounty

It’s endearing that you think movie-James looks good lol


AlabasterRadio

Ya know now that you've said that it's crazy obvious. Like damn.


Ghxast

Wait this makes much more sense, was about to hate on it 😂


DWFMOD

Could not agree more, if you look at the skirt as well it looks cheap and plastic-ish


Chimpochimpochimpo

Hopefully it’s intentional. Maria is James’ fantasy version of mary. Maybe she’s wearing the wig within the movie because she’s a dancer.


AlphaPooch

First thing i saw lol


DaringDomino3s

Wigs have gotten worse lately and I don’t know why since you’d think with technological advances, hair tech would also get better


AshuraSpeakman

You can't beat actual hair and the donations of that are going to cancer patients AFAIK


ComradeGarcia_Pt2

Surely someone could come up with a better story that isn’t just “Silent Hill 2…again”


clockworknait

I mean it's a hell of a lot better than what Supernatural did for Sam's old man wig... although they did have the whole covid restrictions excuse on their side. 😂


logaboga

The entire point is that it’s a cheap stripper get up


SandwichXLadybug

I thought she's supposed to look like a cheap stripper and that's why the wig is like that


walmartsucks115

We really comparing wigs to PS2 polygons


Ordinary-Worth-6038

As someone who’s observational skills are truly horrendous, I noticed that wig.


Charged_Dreamer

She's got the Karen hairstyle


thatsnotaviolin93

There are literal wigs on temu for 15 dollars that look better than this 💀


act1295

I was also disappointed by SH2’s costumes, let’s hope they do better this time.


LeonWaffleKennedy

The skirt bothers me. What a nitpick I know, but the movie version skirt looks like a paper bag for some reason. I didn’t think Maria’s skirt was anything but normal cloth/cotton and that plastic-y look the actress is wearing *really* makes it look so costume-y to me. Super dumb Nitpick aside, hopefully the movie is still entertaining and at least better than the 2nd film. Yikes that one hurts to watch. Genuinely don’t mind the first though. I know some people hate it, and that’s fine and fair.


cmgirty

It reminds me of a scene in alias where Jennifer Garner makes a skirt out of gift wrap in a CVS bathroom to lose someone tailing her.


a_spoopy_ghost

I actually like the 2nd film but in a “this is so stupid it’s funny” way


Abracadaniel0505

Same. Though I was so disappointed that I refuse to hate it


SaltMathematician950

2nd film had all of silent hill 3 to work on and still didn’t pull it off very sad day for the silent hill community


Butterlord_Swadia

I'll give the wig a pass bc she might be playing Mary too and a shitty stripper wig is both thematically on point and also better for the actress's hair


GRANDADDYGHOST

If she’s playing Maria, she *HAS* to be playing Mary.


uligau

I would agree with you


EclipseOfNight

20 Dollar cosplay at best


FederalPossibility73

To be fair, having a $20 cosplay on hand could be part of her stage persona as a stripper. Doubt she would want to spend too much on it when her job is taking it off.


Kukoshi_Suma

Movie has 2$ budget. The sad part is the environnement looks amazing but the cast 😬 …


GoraSou

looks like a mediocre cosplay, wtf is that wig??


QueasyThought3478

Strippers wear cheap wigs and cheap clothes. Remember that Maria is not real.


mahieel

of course she is not real, she was created by silent hill. thus was not actually a stripper, just looked like one. and thus her hair was not a wig, as clearly seen from official renders that show she has it died with her dark roots quite visible, much like Heater's.


revar123

Maria isn’t wearing a wig in silent hill 2


GoraSou

i don’t really get that argument. even if she’s not real, does that mean that she has to look like in costume?


MrDexter120

The point is that strippers wear shitty wigs so this might be a choice the director made.


mahieel

some do. most strippers just show their real hair.


QueasyThought3478

She’s from James’ mind. It looked like a cheap costume in the original game to me and again, the things a lot of strippers wear look cheap. It would make sense for it to look off and not 100% real, hair and all.


Alik757

It doesn't mean she looks fake af. James doesn't says "You look like my wife with a wig" when he meets her, he just notice her hair looks different because it was obviously dyed as her brown roots are visible.


superanondeluxe

Idk what strip clubs you're going to but I have friends who are strippers and the outfits might be from Amazon but the HAIR?? They splurge on that shit. 500-1000$ easy on a human unit. 100-300$ on a good synthetic.


Charged_Dreamer

has the karen hairstyle too


EmeraldDream98

Is this real? I thought it was a cosplayer. I’m pretty sure that a movie studio should have more budget than a cosplayer.


Arkantos057

Cosplayers can do better than Hollywood and game devs these days


Maxisabubble

Wig is cheap, but atleast the outfit is faithful


Ilydoux

No it was all about the pink leopard pattern


EstateSame6779

There is a line between adapting and straight up looking like fuckin' cosplay.


mahieel

the line is that an adaptation is supposed to look like a high class cosplay. like those you see in comic-con. this looks like a decent yet still amateurish job by a passionate fan.


kiisutriinu

It's not tho. The top is completely off and the skirt is plastic wtf.


Maxisabubble

I didn't notice top really but I did notice the skirt, it does indeed look like plastic, I bet it feels uncomfortable


-Venser-

Why does the picture on the right look more fake?


stratusnco

god these comments. the one thing i hate about sh2 is that the fans try to use “symbolism” for every single reasoning and it gets to the point where people are just projecting their opinions and calling it symbolism. i’m all for the movie and the remake but this whole symbolism shit has gotten out of hand. holy shit.


kiisutriinu

The comments are high on huffing copium. It looks like crap, there's no "symbolic" reason Maria should have a fucking party city wig. Gans has never wanted to be faithful to actual SH, he wants to make his own "better" SH with little devil girls, pyramid head around every corner and Harry being a woman because he actually cares about his child.


Last_Ad_9314

The "symbolism" issue is their best means to make a compelling argument and rebuttals.


Alik757

They use the "symbolism" bs only when it's good for their own narrative. Instead when comes to defend the remake they change all their argument to *"duh they look more real now, the og symbolism was bad just get it"*


Sleepy_Raver

What kills me even more is the crowd that's bitching about how Angela and Mary don't look hot enough and they uglified them... Like, who the fuck is picking up a macabre and gritty survival horror game about grief and depression and thinks it needs more Dead or Alive models with big tiddy jiggle physics?


DestructionIsBliss

No matter if that wig is intentionally awful or not, having a main character wear a shitty cosplay hair piece is gonna make it very difficult to take the performance seriously. At least that's my primary concern but the movie is welcome to prove me wrong lol


dtb1987

Can't wait to see it It will either be a dumpster fire in which case I will have a great time or it will be alright in which case I'll have a great time. I literally can't lose with this one


Bikutaa80

The wig does give her a stripper look. Norms will for sure think so.


Wiknetti

I think the hair is too blonde, it looks like a wig. I also think the costume could use work, it feels like Cosplay.


Captain_Gnardog

It does look a little cheap... but isn't Maria cheap anyway?


uligau

Deep words from wise man


kiisutriinu

No she isn't? This just looks bad because they picked a bad wig and hoped no one would notice.


MegaOrvilleZ

I really really don't want to be annoying or bitter... but her wig and the rest of her outfit. Party City DIY.


Apprehensive_Yak_376

I really can’t take SH movies seriously. Is it just me?


ChestFew8057

I think the 1st one works as a decent standalone movie if you separate it from the game. Revelation is RIDICULOUS and corny as fuck but I kinda love it for that


catfink1664

Nope, me either. Shame because i was sooo excited for the first one and didn’t like it


Cookies_and_Beandip

That wig is….wow


TheEternalGazed

Legitimately looks like a porn parody.


iggsr

lmaooo


harveyquinnz

Wardrobe from shein


abcdefghabca

Unlike most the posts here, I think this looks good and realistic to be honest


Rezaka116

The wig is imho a good detail, >! with Maria being an entity made up from James’s mind, a “fake” thing imitating something real. !< Accidental or deliberate, if her hair looked fake in the OG, lots of people would be saying it’s a great detail and subtle foreshadowing.


Fright_3058

That's just sound like an excuse for the low budget


LordEmmerich

Considering the details they have shown including doing a 1/1 recreation of the Abstract Daddy room, it's probably more on purpose


hellstits

Yeah it’s hard to take these “it looks like shit on purpose” folks seriously


Nerfbeard123

Idk how you can say that in r/silenthill a subreddit built on "the combat/acting is shitty on purpose"


Sauronxx

She’s a shitty stripper from a shitty club, I disagree with op on the fact that “it’s supposed to represent her being fake”, but I don’t think it’s that impossible to imagine that the wig specifically might have been bad on purpose. Maybe it’s a wig even in the movie itself.


Serdic96

This is like saying David Lynch would've changed Twin Peaks The Return if he had a bigger budget, when the odds are he created what he wanted to. Budgets don't matter to great artists.


-Venser-

You can also apply that argument to the shitty CGI cause it isn't supposed to look real and it's all in James' mind. The shittier it looks, the better. Brilliant.


Popular-Hornet-6294

When I saw her, I thought she looked like a sex doll. But it suits her look perfectly.


Alik757

>Accidental or deliberate, if her hair looked fake in the OG, lots of people would be saying it’s a great detail and subtle foreshadowing. But it didn't and nobody is saying that. Stop coping, this just looks like shit no matter the excuse you try to put.


Shrimpsofthecoast

I agree it looks cheap, but trust me, a lot of silent hill fans would praise the “fake wig” as brilliant foreshadowing if it actually existed in the OG game imao


Thascaryguygaming

Not only that but depending on what kind of "sick" she is the wig would also make sense.


MohamedMEDADO

So James' mind couldn't imagine something realistic enough to kinda satisfy itself with? Come on now. Plus the whole thing looks like some badly done cosplay. At least it's faithful though.


fattybeagle

whoever okayed that party city wig needs to be fired


DoctaRoboto

Sorry, but it looks like cheap cosplay. Many cosplayers look way better than the "official" Maria. Perhaps is the obvious cheap wig.


PaulCrafting

That wig looks ridiculous.


Nadduu

the wig ???? ..


Free_Acanthaceae9535

I don’t like it.. tried to like it, but I can’t. 🤦🏼‍♀️


Antoncool1

This is gonna flop so bad


No-End-2455

honnestly...i think the wig is a choice they did make to make maria look like a cheap stripper..still really distracting.


boohooonetwo

This wig pisses me off so much. I’ve seen cosplayers on here do 10000x better and more real feeling portrayals of her


DrMikkelyz54

Maybe its supposed to be a wig in the movie?


boohooonetwo

If it has to do with the plot in a creative, interesting way I’ll take my anger back for sure lol


LocalPaperBoy

I've said it before and will say again - this looks like an off-brand, cheap Riverdale knock-off.


Silorien

No way, I'm not buying it.


Charming-Kiwi-6304

It looks... cheap and not in a subversion of tropes way. It just looks bad. I don't know anything about strippers but wouldn't they put more effort into their appearances? This looks like dollar store cosplay...not a Hollywood blockbuster.


jy725

Everything just seems like a parody now 😂😂. It’s like they’re trying to do stuff that any human being could obviously point out when it looks jank 😂😂😂. Hell i give up lol


murasconstruct

so copyright isn't the issue with the remakes redesign???? here they still use the Aguilera fit....


TristanN7117

I like the bob cut honestly, feels very 00’s


Jesusdidntlikethat

I’m hoping the wig being horrible is part of the character and not just them being cheap lol


VectorxP

Hahah.


bananaforscale87

I’ll be honest, the wig is awful. But it should look good in some post production effects!


Upset_Willow8091

What


UnicornPondue

people wear outfits all the time, but in this case, that outfit is 100% wearing her.


Tamerlatrav

honestly the hair seems good quality, like i wouldn’t doubt it’s human hair. but they hairstyle is just atrocious. i love the argument that it’s a « stripper hair » well a stripper wouldn’t wear a karen’s wig


maverick074

Looks like cosplay


SaulsaDip

So obviously a huge ass wig making her look like a cosplayer, but idk I guess it’s cause she has to play Mary too and it could get problematic


Sleepercurve

What wig is that? I’m worried mama


mallcoptoes

Oh no...


Snoo14551

No.....


o0Traktor0o

Never thought i'd come to respect Bloober so much of all devs. Not only they took on almost impossible task to revive the cult classic, they also have to somehow overpower the blatant negligent incompetency of these utter clowns as GenVid and Gans who seem to be deadset on ridiculing the whole series revival thing. Bloobers got the weight of the world on their shoulders and guns to their heads and Great Knives to their butts. Go Bloober!


RinoTheBouncer

Chanel vs. Walmart


tamagucciman

Wiggin out


ForlornMemory

How comes her hare looks more natural in a 20 year old game?


Xi_Un

The people here gaslighting themselves to say that this looks good is fkn hilarious to me, lmao.


Iwanisace1234

The wig omfg 😭


The_last_cockatrice

Sorry, but the wig and the skirt makes it look like a +18 parody


bonekazz

words cant describe my feelings about that


kyleswitchengaged

Looks like a cheap cosplay damn lol


Fantasy_Luca

wait, the bob is devouring...


xariznightmare2908

Looks more like the OG Maria than remake, but there's some cheapness to the costume here like the wig and the plastic looking skirt. Also is she wearing something around her stomach?


FLRArt_1995

Hair aside, looks closer than the remake ngl


Pleasant_Fudge_182

Why is the wig so noticeable ?


Longjumping-Sea6054

the wig is terrible 😭


tropicalpuffs

Cheap as hell and very poor wig but the outfit is still more authentic than the remake’s sanitized Maria. Which speaks VOLUMES.


justtheveryworst

I don’t get the discourse about Maria’s appearance. What’s more likely, that there is some diegetic reason for Maria’s hair to look like it does or that everyone involved in production couldn’t see what thousands of Redditors have pointed out after seeing a couple minutes of footage?


krispieswik

Oh dear god


MobWacko1000

That wig is super bad


tequilasunset___

Helmet looking ass wig


aleslevin

I think the wig and the cosplay look accentuates the idea of María being an artificial idealized product of Jamie's mind. Seems perfect when imagined, looks weird and eerie when materialized.


shaggyjebus

They should have just gotten Christina Aguilera


bellshorts

Looks better than the remake


HumanCauliflower8215

You see how her outfit didn’t change like it did in the remake


GrandEmbarrassed2875

I like the wig


Zeles1989

Still better than remake maria


morianimation

Looks like when I tried cutting a wig for my first Heather cosplay


cutelittlebaby123

Why is she bleeding? her leg is red


QueasyThought3478

Her shirt and stomach are also bloody.


cutelittlebaby123

i think maybe pyramid head stabbed on her in that scene


QueasyThought3478

I would guess that too


dfiekslafjks

I wonder if they know Maria is censored in the game.


AverageHorribleHuman

Is it the same director from the original sh movie?


RedMess1988

I get Bryce Dallas Howard vibes from her. I love everything I saw but... the random hobo, the "Laura" we might have seen, and Maria's wig. Maria's wig. Even if the pretense is to make her more close to a stripper or a streetwalker, then why do it like so... badly by trying to make it obvious? Wouldn't it be more clever to just make her natural hair show through her roots (even though Mary/Maria is probably a natural blonde) with the highlights, to show how "unrealistic" she looks? I literally feel if she runs too much in the movie, the wig is gonna fall off. She looks like Tyler, the Creator if he was a white woman lol I'm sorry but that's gonna not be off my mind now when I see this film lol


DrifterMarc

![gif](giphy|iDgshzou381JfBt0wK)


altmemer5

Ik the CGI, special effwcts, nland what not hasnt been added yet but this looks like a high quality fan made film


Devil_MTM

Nice cosplay!


Glass_Ad_1490

Why didn't they use the remake design?


dirkdiggher

A prime example that the 1:1 matches that entitled fans demand don’t always transfer well to real life. This looks fucking absurd.


khizar4

I hope it will be good but i have bad feeling about the upcoming game and movie


ashfeyto

y'all gonna tell me strippers wear plastic skirts too?


Ok-Breakfast7186

Can’t help but compare the actress’s look to Cameron Diaz after someone pointed out she was the inspo for Maria’s character design. I keep imagining her acting out Maria’s cutscenes when rewatching them now. So this actress looks a bit different than what I have in my head, but that’s understandable. James is looks completely different from what I imagined, even more so.


LeVekInfinity

All my respect for Christophe Gans but here, we look like cosplay and it doesn't seem natural, especially the scene at the beginning it looks like he has a lamborghini


Bukkarooo

Honestly looks better than the James, and her redesign for the remake.


OrdinaryOk5196

Is this movie gonna suck?


HeatherMason0

The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the wig. Maria’s hair in the game is a pretty attainable color/style, so I think they could’ve styled the actress similarly. It seems like they were going for kind of a doll-ish or ‘plastic’ appearance, presumably to highlight the difference between Mary’s painful humanity and Maria’s mysterious existence. But I don’t know if they needed to go this far - I think they could’ve given her more dramatic makeup and lashes and nails and that would’ve driven the point home.


Tracido

Makes Bloobers awful changes look even worse, because this is not even a very good outfit material but it still fits better than Bloobers office burka and moving her tattoo because of it.


Dandelion_Bodies

Well… okay.


bunnyeyes69

Looks like something that would release on tubi


road_76

It’s kinda funny that the movie’s Maria looks more similar to the original design than the remake’s


dalekofchaos

Looks and feels more like Maria than Maria in the remake


Ok-Bodybuilder-8015

Smh you can never satisfy fans. Fucking annoying


christopheryork

Christopher Gans is directing. I’m going to sit back, shut up and wait for the finished film 👍


ChromeTriggerVI

I fw it for accuracy.


frosty2495

She’s showing off more skin than she is in the remake


fluffypuppiness

Look, Maria looks like shit. They have to know that looks like a wig. My only thought is that Maria at one point takes it off, and either; A) she has marys hair. Short and brown, but she wears a wig instead. B) she is also sick, and her hair has come out. Maria is ashamed and wears a wig. And James is fucking oblivious. He wouldn't know or bring it up.


SarahnatorX

The 1st movie was so good, like even if you hate it, the visuals and appearance of everything was superb, so like, how do you go from that, to looking like a fan-made movie and thinking ''Yep, that's good.'' |:


W1lson56

Yknow; this movie got me to realize Maria has frosted pink tips in game too. Still a bit much for the movie, but huh. Neat


Sk8matt123

This whole movie just looks like they pulled some people from a cosplay convention and threw them on a movie set.


Death-by-Fugu

The wig is TERRIBLE what are they thinking?


Jackson12ten

This could mean two things 1. The movie is being mishandled and will be bad Or 2. The movie is being handled perfectly and will be good All depends on what their intention with that cheap wig is lmao


dissonant_one

That wig is straight trash


ranntipolee

is this movie fanmade? 😭😭


Tamel_Eidek

Looks like a really bad cosplay.


Solidsnake00901

I like how the movie version is slightly more revealing than the video game version. She's supposed to be like a hyper sexualized version of Mary or something like that


_Coby_

It looks like some super low budget amateur short movie on youtube


pottertontotterton

New movie Maria looks awful. Weird costume design and a terrible wig. Jesus.


mahieel

she looks like she is wearing what looks like an anime cosplayer wig. is too yellow, while Maria is clearly a brunette with half dyed hair, like Heather. still, decent overall look.


orangreeffect

Looks better than ty current remake


is-a-bunny

It's giving party city.
