The new Silent Hill movie Return To Silent Hill is set to start shooting next month and the lead cast has been announced. Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw) will star in the film, which is being helmed by original Silent Hill director Christophe Gans.
The movie tells the story of James (Irvine), “a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. As James descends deeper into the darkness, he encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new and begins to question his own sanity as he struggles to make sense of reality and hold on long enough to save his lost love.”
Gans said in a statement: “Return to Silent Hill is a mythological love story about someone so deeply in love, they’re willing to go to hell to save someone. I’m delighted to have the wonderful talents of both Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson take us on this journey into a psychological horror world that I hope will both satisfy and surprise fans of Silent Hill.”
Producer Victor Hadida added: “Christophe and I have been working closely with our partners at Konami, as they update the video game, to also create a version of Silent Hill for the theatrical audiences of today. You will still find the iconic monsters – but there will also be new designs. We are confident that this new film and Konami’s updated game together will propel the franchise forward for years to come.”
I’ve been a fan of the Silent Hill game and film franchise for years. There’s just something so fascinating about this world that captured my attention with the first video game, and it never let go. I’m excited about this new movie, especially because Gans is on board to direct! That first Silent Film movie he made is still one of the best video game film adaptations that have been produced.
Here’s a previously released teaser trailer for the film:
