‘Return to Silent Hill’ – Filming Is Well Underway on New Movie from Director Christophe Gans
Silent Hill movie director Christophe Gans is returning to the franchise with Return to Silent Hill, set to be a brand new film adaptation of Silent Hill 2. Filming kicked off on the project last month, and star Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) recently shared an update.
Taking to Instagram, Irvine has revealed that filming is now about 1/3 of the way complete on Return to Silent Hill, and he also shared a behind-the-scenes shot from the set.
Irvine stars alongside Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw). Check out his IG post below.
Gans is currently shooting the movie in Germany and Eastern Europe.
“The film will follow 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.”
“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,” said director Gans. “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.”
“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,” explained producer Victor Hadida. “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.”
Gans wrote the script alongside Sandra Vo-Anh and William Josef Schneider.
Victor Hadida (The Crow, Silent Hill franchises) will produce under his Davis Films banner, with Hassell Free Productions’ Molly Hassell (The Crow) and David Wulf (The Card Counter).
