Christophe Gans, director of the 2006 Silent Hill film, was not too long ago interviewed by France’s Film and Recreation (opens in new tab). Although Gans was not concerned in 2012’s Silent Hill: Revelations, he beforehand claimed to be returning for an additional Silent Hill film, and informed Film and Recreation that it is going to be half of a bigger Silent Hill push by Konami.
Gans mentioned, by way of translation by Resetera consumer Angie (opens in new tab), that “there are a number of video games in improvement as we communicate, there are a number of groups on it, with an enormous line of video games” and that “[Konami] will revive the franchise, I believe they had been actually impressed of the success of the remakes of Resident Evil which might be evidently distinctive video games.”
When the interviewer brings up the rumor that Bloober Staff, the studio behind Layers of Worry and The Medium, is engaged on a remake of Silent Hill 2, (on the 17.14 mark of the interview (opens in new tab)), Gans merely nods. In response to a query about who else is engaged on these video games, he replies, “there are a number of groups.”
We have beforehand seen leaked artwork from what’s allegedly Bloober Staff’s pitch for a Silent Hill 2 remake. The studio’s CEO did not deny the rumors, saying, “We won’t touch upon something we’re doing as a result of we respect our relationship with our companions.” We have additionally seen leaked artwork from a brand new Silent Hill recreation that was rapidly hit by a copyright strike from Konami, and one thing known as Silent Hill: The Brief Message has appeared on a Korean ranking web site.
Indie writer Annapurna Interactive has reportedly been in talks with Konami, and, maybe fueled by wishful pondering, some followers are satisfied members of Staff Silent who labored on the unique video games like composer/sound designer Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito and artwork director and monster designer Masahiro Ito are additionally concerned in a brand new Silent Hill undertaking.
With reference to his personal return to Silent Hill, Gans mentioned, “On this second film, I will attempt to clarify that Silent Hill is a spot that owes as a lot to the creatures that reside there as what we undertaking in town. So I will enter into one thing far more psychological and far more psychoanalytic with a view to attempt to make folks perceive that Silent Hill is not solely this unusual labyrinth that adjustments its kind but additionally the projection of tortured and tormented souls and generally of extraordinarily paradoxical emotions that may be between mad love and violence.”
Gans beforehand directed Brotherhood of the Wolf, a enjoyable martial arts/motion/horror film set within the 18th century and that includes some glorious tricorn hats. If he has to direct one other videogame adaptation, I reckon he’d be a a lot better match for a Bloodborne film myself.
