During the Silent Hill Transmission announcement stream today, Konami announced that it’s bringing the franchise back to theaters with a totally reimagined film titled Return to Silent Hill. The new movie will be helmed by the director of the original 2006 Silent Hill movie, Christophe Gans.
Return to Silent Hill will follow the plot of the original Silent Hill 2 game, where a man makes his way to Silent Hill in search of the lost love of his life. Instead, he finds a total nightmare of monsters and horror, including the infamous Pyramid Head, one of the series’ most recognizable characters.
The project seems to still be in the development phase. The newly revealed teaser is just a handful of storyboard images and conceptual artwork. Victor Hadida, who also worked on the 2006 film, is also returning to produce. He mentioned in the live stream that the project is planning to give the franchise a modern twist, and staying true to the spirit of the original game is a key focus.
Along with the new film, Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission Livestream also announced a remake of the 2001 Silent Hill 2 survival horror game and two new games titled Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall.
