Christophe Gans, Silent Hill movie director, was recently interviewed by the French YouTube channel Movie and Game. In the interview, he revealed that Konami had plans to revive the franchise, and several studios are working on new games, including Silent Hill 2 remake. Bloober Team was rumored to work on Silent Hill 2 remake, but it was neither confirmed nor denied by Konami.
Christophe Gans also talked about his return to the franchise after 15 years with a new Silent Hill movie which is in pre-production:
“In this second movie, I’ll try to explain that Silent Hill is a place that owes as much to the creatures that live there as what we project on the town. So I’ll enter into something way more psychological and way more psychoanalytic in order to try to make people understand that Silent Hill isn’t only this strange labyrinth that changes its form but also the projection of tortured and tormented souls and sometimes of extremely paradoxical feelings that can be between mad love and violence.”
Last year Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka talked about a new Silent Hill game but the video was taken down shortly after.
