Maybe that's what you're thinking of?
Yep. This is exactly what I'll see when I go to the bookstore. I'll see the book with the actors from the movie on the cover. Thanks for clearing that up.

I saw Silent Hill which I thought was awful, but I think I remember reading that it was based on a video game or something like that. I'm not sure if there is a series of comic books on it.
