It was announced two years ago that filmmaker Christophe Gans would return to the Silent Hill franchise with the appropriately titled Return to Silent Hill, an adaptation of Silent Hill 2. While that sounds exciting, Bloober Team’s video game remake that was released last month serves as a potent reminder that translating this revered game to screen is an exceedingly tricky task.

The filmmaker adapted the original 1999 video game with 2006’s Silent Hill that mostly adhered to the original game’s plot, remixing a few details for its film adaptation, like swapping out the game’s protagonist of Harry Mason for Radha Mitchell’s Rose Da Silva. It also included the appearance of the franchise’s most iconic monster, Pyramid Head.

The unsettling executioner with a massive rust-hued, pyramid-shaped helmet and unwieldy sword doesn’t actually appear until Silent Hill 2, prompting the game’s fans to cry foul for good reason.

Take a look at the new horror feature “Return to Silent Hill”, based on the Konami “Silent Hill 2” video game, directed by Christophe Gans (“Brotherhood of The Wolf”), starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, with a theatrical release date Tba:

“…’James’ is a broken man after being separated from his one true love. But 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…”

El sábado se dio a conocer el palmarés del Festival Internacional de Cine Fantástico de Sitges 2024 y la gran triunfadora ha sido El baño del diablo (The Devil’s Bath), que se ha llevado el premio a la Mejor Película, además del Premio de la Crítica y el Premio del Jurado Joven.

La decisión del máximo galardón fue tomada por el jurado, compuesto por la programadora Lisa Dreyer, el escritor y músico Stephen Thrower, y los cineastas Christophe Gans, Fred Dekker y Carlota Pereda. Christophe Gans elogió la película afirmando: «Es una gran película a todos los niveles», y destacó la «fotografía tan pictórica» y la sobresaliente interpretación de su protagonista, Anja Plaschg. En particular, destacó la «escena de la confesión» como uno de los momentos más memorables del festival.

Konami may get a bad rap for having squandered the Silent Hill franchise in the years leading up to the recent series renaissance (which is set to culminate in both a big budget remake of Silent Hill 2 as well as a new Christophe Gans film), but there was a time when the company was criticized for releasing too much Silent Hill media in an attempt to keep the IP fresh in consumers’ minds.

While some of these franchise expansions were obvious cash-grabs, others experimented with the cursed town in ways that we’ve yet to see again. And in honor of the new Silent Hill experiences set to grace consoles and cinema screens in the upcoming year, today I’d like to look back on a collection of forgotten spin-offs from the 2000s that I think (mostly) deserve more love.

The idea of visual novel ports and primitive mobile...

Silent Hill 2 fans will have plenty to sink their teeth into, with a remake and a movie adaptation underway. Earlier this week, Konami released abe released brand-new look and peek behind the curtains to the upcoming Return to Silent Hill movie, which will bring the series’ second installment to the silver screen.

Opinions on both the remake and the movie are divided and rather lukewarm. However, it appears that many are more hopeful for the movie than the remake of the game.

Konami Reveals New Look at Return to Silent Hill

During the transmission live stream on May 30, Konami showed snippets of the upcoming movie Return to Silent Hill in a behind-the-scenes video featuring commentary by director Christophe Gans, and producer Victor Hadida.

Shortly after the transmission, a teaser trailer for the movie was published. However, it was subsequently deleted for unknown reasons. This hasn’t stopped fans from...

Silent Hill 2 remake is confirmed to release on October 8, 2024, on PS5 and Steam, just in time for Halloween. Pre-orders include cosmetic masks like Mira the Dog and an exclusive Robbie the Rabbit for PS5 players. Deluxe Edition offers digital content, a Pyramid Head pizza box mask, and a 48-hour early access option.

During the May 30 PlayStation State of Play, a new gameplay trailer confirmed that Bloober Team's remake of Team Silent's beloved psychological horror title Silent Hill 2 would be released on October 8, 2024, on PS5 and Steam, finally narrowing down the once-vague 2024 release window and arriving just in time for Halloween. A further, uninterrupted gameplay sequence from the game was then shown at the Silent Hill Transmission showcase that followed Sony's stream.

The Silent Hill Transmission addressed several Silent Hill projects, such as the upcoming movie Return to Silent Hill, which will also follow the plot of...

Prior to the immense success of television shows like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout," many audiences felt that video game adaptations were cursed. There were plenty of quick cash grabs and bizarre attempts at movie adaptations that just didn't work throughout the years, but one secret standout is the 2006 Christophe Gans film "Silent Hill." Based on the Konami video game series of the same name, "Silent Hill" follows a mother (Radha Mitchell) who goes into the uniquely haunted town of Silent Hill to try and rescue her adopted daughter, Heather (Jodelle Ferland). While the film isn't super accurate to the story from the games, it does capture the mood and some of the themes and completely nails the aesthetic, which can be half the battle with video game titles as visually recognizable as "Silent Hill." There's just nothing quite like its grungy industrial meat locker vibe and its delightfully disturbing monsters,...

There was talk that Brotherhood of the Wolf and Silent Hill director Christophe Gans’ new Silent Hill movie Return to Silent Hill, which is said to be “totally independent from the two previous movies,” would be having its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month, but that’s not exactly what happened. What actually happened was that there was a private screening of the film for potential distributors. We don’t know how that went, but we are benefiting from the film’s search for distributors. The first image made its way online a couple weeks ago (that can be seen above), and now a teaser trailer has made its way online. You can check that out right here:

A new behind-the-scenes video offers a first look at James Sunderland and other returning game characters in the upcoming Silent Hill movie reboot. Director Christophe Gans is dedicated to creating a faithful adaptation of the second game in the horror franchise in the upcoming film.

As part of a grand showcase presentation for the franchise, Konami revealed a special behind-the-scenes video look at Return to Silent Hill.

The video, as seen above, offers a plethora of footage from the set of the upcoming reboot, showing director Christophe Gans' dedication to creating a faithful adaptation of the second game in the horror franchise.

After letting the cat out of the bag earlier during the Sony State of Play regarding the release date for Silent Hill 2, Konami has followed that up with the latest edition of Silent Hill Transmission. The event mainly focused on Silent Hill 2, but also delved into Christophe Gans‘ upcoming Return to Silent Hill film.

The event kicked off with an extended 13-minute look at the gameplay of Silent Hill 2, jumping around various moments in the game. We get scenes of James getting the iconic radio, the reveal of Laura and Maria, the nurses in Brookhaven, and culminating in the appearance of the Flesh Lip. Pre-orders are now open on Steam and the PlayStation Store, with bonuses including a Mira the Dog mask, and exclusive to the PS5, a Robbie the Rabbit mask.

It appears that Konami will finally provide fans with an update on several Silent Hill projects this Thursday with a new edition of Silent Hill Transmission this Thursday. The streamed event will kick off at 7:00pm Et, with updates on the current projects, a “deeper look” at the upcoming Return to Silent Hill film from Christophe Gans, and new merchandise.

The previous Silent Hill Transmission back in October 2022 brought us the official announcement of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team, which reposted Konami’s X post for this new edition, so expect news on that front. Silent Hill f developer NeoBards Entertainment studio creative director Al Yang did the same thing, so that’s two follow-ups from last time.

That would leave Annapurna Interactive and No Code Games’ Silent Hill: Townfall as the odd one out, but hopefully we’ll still get an update on that one.

The upcoming Silent Hill movie aims to correct the major villain mistake made by the 2006 film. Return to Silent Hill modernizes the story while respecting the eerie atmosphere of the original video games. Pyramid Head in the first movie lacked depth; the new film is expected to capture the character's true symbolism.

The new Silent Hill movie, Return To Silent Hill, seems to have the perfect opportunity to rectify the major villain mistake made by the 2006 film. Directed by Christophe Gans and written by Roger Avary, 2006's Silent Hill tried to bring the eerie world of the Konami survival horror games to the big screen. When it first premiered, the film was panned by viewers and critics, who were dissatisfied with all the changes it made to the original video games.

However, surprisingly, the film's popularity grew from strength to strength over time, and many viewers started appreciating it for...

We happen to be lucky enough to live in a timeline where horror is unquestionably crushing at the box office and otherwise. People are lining up in droves not only to see men in tights throwing down to save the universe in superhero flicks but to see monsters and ghouls doing horrible and heinous things to human beings. And no, I’m not talking about congress. I’m talking about some good old-fashioned wear your brown pants to the theater and leave the kids at home (or don’t I don’t judge) , horror flicks. I can’t promise you everything is going to be okay in 2024. Not with Ezra Miller roaming the streets, but I can promise you this… we’ve got a lot of great horror flicks headed our way. Probably. Well, they sound cool.

“Return to Silent Hill” is the new psychological horror film directed by Christophe Gans, starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, releasing in theaters in 2024:

“…driven by the shadows of his past, ‘James Sunderland’ returns to ‘Silent Hill’ to find his lost love, ‘Mary Crane’. But the dark, depressing small town is no longer the place from his memories. He meets characters who seem all too familiar and who try to divert him from his search for Mary.

‘The longer he searches for Mary, the more he begins to wonder if this is still reality - or if he has fallen into the dark underworld of ‘Jacob Crane’…”

Have you ever seen a film in theaters that made you go “Holy Bird Poop Batman” I wish I could see that again for the first time? Has there been a film that has made you want to find the biggest possible screen to see it on within a manageable distance? Or a film that has since become one of your “new Blu-ray player test movies”? I have. In fact, there have been a few of these in my lifetime so far, but the one for today is Brotherhood of the Wolf (watch it Here).

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.

To celebrate the release of Brotherhood Of The Wolf, Director’S Cut on 4K Uhd, Blu-Ray, DVD & Digital out 15th May, we have a 4K Uhd to give away!

Studiocanal announce a stunning brand-new restoration of the thrilling 2001 cult classic Brotherhood Of The Wolf Director’s Cut by Christophe Gans, starring Samuel Le Bihan, Mark Dacascos, Jérémie Renier, Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci. The 2-disc Blu-ray includes deleted scenes and a host of extras, while the 4-disc 4K Uhd release also includes the theatrical cut and eight featurettes – while all formats include the English audio as well as the French audio in Dolby Atmos.

It's not often that a home entertainment package takes a review up a whole star, but there are so many great extras to explore here - not to mention a gorgeous looking 4K version of the film - that you'll enjoy a considerably richer experience, and hours of fun.

Spread over three discs, which include the original theatrical cut of the film alongside that Uhd version, this package also includes an hour long interview with director Christophe Gans, who goes into great detail about how the film developed, explaining many of its idiosyncrasies. There's a further 17 minute interview with him as well, conducted over a gorgeous looking meal of which he gets to eat little, though as there's quite a bit of background noise in this one, you'll be glad of the subtitles. There's a lengthy introduction to the legend of the Beast of Gévaudan - essential for a proper.

Mark Dacascos has been around on our screens since 1989, playing mostly in films that required fighting skills which he has in spades. With over 80 parts in film, television, and even video games, the man has made his mark. His martial arts background is impressive, being the son of Al Dacascos, one of the founder of Wun Hop Kuen Do (Whkd) Kung Fu, he has been trained from a young age and it shows. Mark Dacascos is one of the most skilled fighters in the industry, something that shows through many of his roles. Here are our picks for the best Mark Dacascos movies.

Only the Strong (1993)

Early on in his career, but not exactly at the start, this film is one that helped put Dacascos on the map. Yes, he had done other work, but for most action film fans, this capoeira film really shows his talent as an actor and a martial artist.

It’s going to be a busy year for Silent Hill fans. An upcoming packed slate of video games and a new movie on the way opens the doors for new merch, which will include an officially licensed makeup collection from Vampyre Cosmetics.

The beauty brand took to Twitter yesterday to tease an upcoming collection that’ll feature imagery from the Silent Hill games. It’s interesting to note that “games” is plural, opening up possibilities across multiple games in the popular franchise.

Vampyre Cosmetics hasn’t revealed any details or a launch date for the officially licensed collaboration just yet. Check out the tweet below for the tease.

The Silent Hill collaboration marks the latest for the company, which previously launched themed makeup collections for Emily the Strange, Vincent Price, the Winchester Mystery House, and more.

As a refresher, Konami previously announced a new Silent Hill 2 remake with Bloober Team.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, chances are you’ve heard about the numerous Silent Hill projects headed our way, including a new movie from Christophe Gans. It’s a resurrection of sorts for a long-dormant series that hasn’t had a full scale entry since 2012. Sure we had P.T. in 2014, which was a proof-of-concept demo for a Hideo Kojima directed entry titled Silent Hills, but other than that? Nothing. Outside of Silent Hill collaborations with other games, the series started to seem like it was gone for good.

Funny thing is, this wasn’t even the first time Silent Hill was considered dead. In 2004, the masterminds behind the original three games known as “Team Silent” got together and decided to take the series into an experimental new direction. Little did they know, it would be the last Silent Hill game from them, marking the end of an era.

With filming set to start next month in Europe, we have official details on the Return to Silent Hill, including confirmation that Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson will star in the film:

Based on the Konami survival horror video game franchise of the same name, the film franchise first launched with the eponymous 2006 adaptation co-written and directed by Christophe Gans.

Frank Miller is set to create, write and executive produce a limited series adaptation of Hugo Pratt’s Corto Maltese graphic novels for StudioCanal.

Italian illustrator Hugo Pratt created the Corto Maltese fantasy comic character in 1967 as a heroic sailor finding adventure around the world. Miller, the writer-artist behind The Dark Knight, Sin City and 300, will develop the six-episode live action-adventure series in partnership with StudioCanal and Canal+.

“I first discovered Corto Maltese reading the books at Forbidden Planet in New York as a young man. Then on my travels, I studied and discovered an edition at a newsstand in Rome. The artwork was so expressive and so bold that it leapt off the newsprint. It swept me away,” Miller said in a statement.

Earlier this year, Miller launched his own publishing banner, Frank Miller Presents. The Corto Maltese adaptation will be executive produced by Miller,...

Exclusive: Vincent Maraval and Kim Fox’s banner The Veterans has launched international sales at the AFM on horror reboot Return To Silent Hill. CAA Media Finance is repping domestic.

Filmmaker Christophe Gans and producer-distributor Victor Hadida of French indie major Metropolitan are back for the next movie in the franchise, which we hear is already selling well off of a strong script by Gans, Sandra Vo-Ahn and Will Schneider. Shoot is being lined up for early next year with casting underway.

Based on the hit Konami survival-horror video game series, Gans’ 2006 film followed a woman who goes in search for her adopted daughter within the confines of a strange, desolate town called Silent Hill, which is covered in fog and monsters. The cult film, starring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean, made more than 100M and spawned a sequel in 2012 (which wasn’t directed by Gans).

Gans recently discussed the...

There are few words in the world of horror that can make fans react the way that "Silent Hill" can. While "Resident Evil" has always been the bigger horror video game franchise, there are many out there who would happily tell you that "Silent Hill" is easily the better of the two. We need look no further than the excitement that gripped the internet recently when Konami announced a slew of new video games to go along with a brand new movie titled "Return to Silent Hill."

What is particularly interesting about the new film is that Christophe Gans, who directed the original 2006 video game adaptation, is returning to the director's chair. In fact, this entire revival of the franchise is being...

Following rumors of a reboot, Konami confirms a new Silent Hill movie is officially in development. Konami's Silent Hill franchise began back in 1999 with the survival horror video game of the same name, which follows writer Harry Mason as he searches for his adopted daughter in the titular town. With the first game widely considered one of the greatest ever made, subsequent sequels focused on different characters who visit the hellish town of Silent Hill populated with monsters that manifest their fears.

After the massive success of the games, Silent Hill was adapted to the screen in 2006 by writer/director Christophe Gans. While it received mostly negative reviews, 2006's Silent Hill featured some impressive visuals that were enough to make it a decent box office hit. It was followed by the 2012 sequel Silent Hill: Revelation, written and directed by M.J. Bassett. The sequel was based on the Silent Hill 3 video...

Christophe Gans directed the original Silent Hill movie back in 2006, which still stands as one of the better video game movies. Return to Silent Hill will be based on the story of Silent Hill 2, with Gans saying that the film “is a story of a young guy coming back to Silent Hill, where he has known a great love and what he’s going to find is a pure nightmare.” Along with producer Victor Hadida, Gans discussed the project in a video released during Konomi’s presentation, which you can check out below.

“Return to Silent Hill,” a horror film based on the classic Konami survival/horror video game series, is in development. The news was announced at the end of a livestream dedicated to announcing new titles in the franchise.

Christophe Gans, who directed 2006’s “Silent Hill,” based on the first game in the series, was confirmed to direct the film. He appeared in a video message during the livestream to discuss the project. In addition, Victor Hadida, who executive produced the 2006 film, will produce “Return.” Gans confirmed that the movie would adapt the second game in the franchise, which was announced to receive an upcoming remake for the Playstation 5 during the same livestream.

“The film tells a story of a young guy coming back to Silent Hill, where he has known a great love,” Gans said during the livestream. “And what he is going to find is a pure nightmare.”

After a 15-year wait, director Christophe Gans is returning to the world of "Silent Hill" with his new film rightfully titled "Return to Silent Hill." Gans has been teasing the promise of a new "Silent Hill" movie for months, but the previously reported reboot was declared during Konami's special presentation today to be "the catalyst for the revival of new 'Silent Hill' games." As IP and cross-media development director Rui Naito tells it, Victor Hadida, one of the producers for the original 2006 film, approached the company about a possible new film. The pitch was apparently good enough to not only get Gans back on board, but also inspire the company to return to the "Silent Hill" game series and make new installments. So since then, together with [game designer Yoshiki] Okamoto, we have been on the road to revive the games," said Naito. "Silent Hill" is considered one of the...

Years of rumours and fan desires have been answered at last. Konami’s classic Silent Hill 2 is getting remade, courtesy of Bloober Team. Not only that, but we have several new entries in the series, as well as a new film by Christophe Gans!

Announced today during the Silent Hill Transmission, Konami will be bringing the remake of Silent Hill 2 to PC via Steam and PlayStation 5 first, with Xbox versions arriving later. Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka are back to help development, and the game will offer an over-the-shoulder camera view this time around. And yes, Akira Yamaoka is back once again to score the remake! There’s no release date as of yet, but you can wishlist it now on the PlayStation Store (and Steam).

Along with the remake, Konami also announced a new entry in Silent Hill: Townfall, which is being worked on by Annapurna Interactive and No Code Games.

“Finally!” is what some people will now be saying. That’s in response to the official Konami Twitter page, which tweeted this evening that the “latest updates” for the series will be revealed during the Silent Hill Transmission livestream this Wednesday, October 19th at 2:00 Pm Pt. You’ll be able to watch the livestream from the official Silent Hill website.

Obviously, Konami didn’t elaborate on just what to expect, but if you’ve been keeping up with the rumours, you know what we’re all wanting to hear. “Will we?” is the question, however. Silent Hill director Christophe Gans said after talking with members of Team Silent that Konami is working on multiple titles, including that Silent Hill 2 remake that’s rumoured to be helmed by Bloober Team. Then there’s that Silent Hill: The Message project that was recently rated by the Korean Ratings Board, along...
