First Look at Pyramid Head in 'RETURN TO SILENT HILL' from Director Christophe Gans

Christophe Gans is heading back to familiar territory. The director was behind the camera for SILENT HILL and now we is venturing back into the fog with Return to Silent Hill, set to be a brand new film adaptation of Silent Hill 2. Variety has our first look today.

Check out the big guy, Pyramid Head, above.

“The film will follow James (Jeremy Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Hannah Emily 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.

This will be the third film in the Silent Hill franchise. Previously we saw Silent Hill in 2006 and then Silent Hill: Revelation in 2012.

We’ll bring you more as we get it.
