Even though the release isn’t for 2023, Christophe Gan’s teaser Return to Silent Hill came, in which he resumes the director’s hat. The news.
Return to Silent Hill explained his ambitions with a few words from Christophe Gans, the director of the 2006 film.
Back to Silent Hill movie details
During an interview announcing Return to Silent Hill, Christophe Gans explained the intentions of his new film. A feature film that will be completely detached from the previous two, accessible and with a touch of modernity, adapted to the audience and the current horrible cinematic landscape. But without sacrificing the aura of the franchise and then some. Because director and producer Victor Hadida make a very risky bet: customize Silent Hill 2 in their own way
This film had a great success. We wanted to return to this wonderful story. This is Silent Hill 2. A young man who returns to Silent Hill where he meets a great love. But he falls into a terrible nightmare. The first Silent Hill takes place in a city, a small town enclosed in fog. It’s a place where you get the impression of being trapped in an unknown world. But in the second game, the creators changed the rules. So we wanted to go back to Silent Hill. It’s the same city, but we’ll live in this strange world from the main character’s point of view.

Victor Hadida is also reassuring and very attached to the original material.
When filming, we respect the intention of the writer, producer and Konami. Christophe respects the work very much and at the same time he has his own vision. With the vision of the director, we combined the creative idea of the game’s author and were able to create a film that appeals to fans.
Faced with this great challenge of representing the universe of Silent Hill 2 in a much shorter format, Christophe Gans wants to be respectful and humble.
Familiar but more formidable monsters
In this new movie, Return to Silent Hill, the monsters will be very similar to those of Silent Hill 2… but more impressive. There will be new creatures, but also iconic ones like Pyramid Head, carefully redesigned by Gans and his teams. Surprising the fans is also a point that the director and producer insist on.
