Would you be interested in another Silent Hill movie?

Because it might be in the works.

Talk about zero to sixty in less than two weeks. We reported on a rumor a little while ago regarding the future of the Silent Hill franchise, namely that Konami has been working with new developers on two new games. Just after that, only five days ago, Konami made a statement that they were “considering ways to provide the next title.” Now Silent Hill is in the news yet again, but this time on the silver screen.
 
Christophe Gans, director of Brotherhood of the Wolf and the original 2006 Silent Hill movie, commented on his current projects during an interview with French film news site Allocine. Those projects? Well, you better read for yourself:

I have two horror film projects with Victor  Hadida.  I am working on the adaptation of the video game Project  Zero  (known as Fatal  Frame in the United States, editor’s note ). The film will take place in Japan. I especially don’t want to uproot the game from its Japanese haunted house setting. And we’re also working on a new Silent Hill. The project will always be anchored in this atmosphere of a small American town, ravaged by Puritanism. I think it’s time to make a new one.

The first Silent Hill movie is one of the higher-rated audience scores (63%) video game movies on Rotten Tomatoes, and while it certainly has its critics, is widely regarded as one of the more faithful video game film adaptations largely due to its commitment to the style and atmosphere of the games (even just straight-up using the game scores for its soundtrack). The sequel not so much, which is generally reviled by everyone as a cynical attempt to cash in by turning it into a goofy blockbuster. Even Gans had no interest, when asked about it he replied “Honestly? I never saw it. I had to make it, but when I understood that the producers wanted to make the film a sort of [like] Resident Evil, I refused.” which I think was the right answer here. Gans also considers the first Silent Hill movie a “beautiful memory” and felt “a great sense of satisfaction” when it released.

While there aren’t any more details at the moment, it’s exciting to consider what the new film could be about. Another adaptation would make the most sense, especially as it would allow the franchise to be rebooted (due to the series not really revisiting the Harry/Cheryl story that the first two films were inspired by). According to the Silent Hill Wikia, Gans’ favorite character in the series is James Sunderland, which gives me some hope that we may see a screen adaptation of Silent Hill 2. It also has the audience draw based on that games’ wide consensus as being the best title in the series, and among many to be the greatest horror game of all time – pretty easy sell to both fans and audiences. If Gans sticks to the same energy and commitment he brought to the first film, it could very much work.

I thought the first movie had okay visuals, but I wasn't keen on the genderswapped protagonists, especially given the director's reasoning was that men don't care about their kids that much ... The second movie bordered on hilariously awful.
