Christophe Gans, director of the original Silent Hill movie, is working on a script for another sequel.
In an interview with French publication Jeux Video, Gans confirmed that he’s developing a third Silent Hill film. Translation comes via ComicBook.com.
“The script for a new Silent Hill movie that is totally independent from the two previous movies made and respects the way Silent Hill has evolved,” Gans said. “Most of the time, these are stand-alone stories. Silent Hill is a bit like Twilight Zone, the fourth dimension, a place where anything and everything can happen.”
That’s probably for the best. Silent Hill Revelation, which quietly came out in 2012, is a front-runner for the worst video game adaptation ever made. At least in my books. Gans did not work on that one, though.
“I worked on a new Silent Hill, which is a Silent Hill of the year 2023 since the film would be released next year, in 2023, and not a Silent Hill as I imagined it in 2006,” Gans continues. “It is a Silent Hill for today’s audiences while being ultra respectful of the saga.”
Back in 2020, Gans began teasing the third film. So it’s no surprise that a script would be well underway.
