I fall in and out of love with AMC’s The Walking Dead all the time, but I’ve always been fond of Daryl, the group’s strangely lovable crossbow-wielding badass. Norman Reedus has made that character into one of the few consistently fantastic things about the show. We may know him as Daryl for now, but I suspect that will change once Silent Hills begins its descent from a fiery sky on a chariot made out of old E.T. Atari cartridges, because that’s something Kojima would do.
Silent Hills is going to help the world stop seeing him as that cool guy with the crossbow and start seeing him as that way cooler dude who totally just bludgeoned Pyramid Head to death a second ago with the butt of his flashlight.
Reedus recently took to that magical corner of the Internet we refer to as Reddit for a very special AMA. Most of the questions were aimed at The Walking Dead, but Silent Hills did come up briefly when the actor replied to a question about his experience with it so far, saying “I’m super excited to be a part of [Silent Hills]. Both those guys are geniuses at what they do. We haven’t shot the heavy stuff yet. Kojima approached me right after Guillermo did.”
What do you think this “heavy stuff” is? My guess is it has something to do with the radio broadcasts from the P.T. demo. Stories of fathers brutally murdering their families while chanting strange number combinations would qualify as “heavy”, I think.
