Konami has announced that a new Silent Hill movie is in the works. Announced during its Silent Hill Transmission, Konami has released a trailer announcing the movie, which will be titled Return to Silent Hill. The movie is being directed by Christophe Gans, who worked on the original Silent Hill movie. Check out the announcement trailer below.
“This return is my return to a world, a universe that I touched upon in 2006, 15 years ago,” says Gans. “The film was a great success and we decided to go back to the best of these stories.”
Return to Silent Hill will, in some way, adapt the main plot of Silent Hill 2, which has become one of the most critically-acclaimed and beloved horror games ever made. The movie will revolve around a young guy coming back to Silent Hill where, as Gans puts it, “he has known a great love.”
Knowing the franchise, things will undoubtedly turn out horribly for the young guy.
According to Gans, where the first Silent Hill movie was more about exploring a world that is seemingly trapped in mist, the second movie will rather focus on looking at the strange world that was created in Silent Hill 2.
Currently no release date for Return to Silent Hill has been announced so far, and it is still set to be in its pre-production phase, with primary photography yet to happen. The trailer also shows off frames from the upcoming movie’s storyboard, as well as concept art.
Other announcements from the Silent Hill Transmission include a remake of Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill f, Silent Hill: Ascension, and Silent Hill: Townfall.
