First Teaser Trailer and Featurette For RETURN TO SILENT HILL From Original SILENT HILL Director — GeekTyrant

The first teaser trailer has been released for the upcoming horror film Return To Silent Hill along with a behind-the-scenes featurette for fans to watch.

This is a movie that I’ve been very excited about because I’m a big fan of the Silent Hill game franchise and the original movie. Return To Silent Hill was directed by Christophe Gans, who helmed that original movie, which was pure nightmare fuel.

It looks like Gans is going to deliver another freakin’ great Silent Hill movie! This trailer has all the heavy Silent Hill vibes! The movie has been described as more of a psychological horror story.

The plan is to “make it modern, but also very true to the video game,” and it will include familiar monsters, including the nightmarish Pyramid Head, which we see in action in the trailer.

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.”

Gans talked about the film saying: “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.

“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.”

Producer Victor Hadida added: “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.

“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 previously talked about the story saying: “The film tells the 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.”

Gans wrote the script alongside Sandra Vo-Anh and William Josef Schneider. This will be the third official Silent Hill live action movie.

Return to Silent Hill does not have a release date yet, but it will be coming soon, sometime this year. Watch the trailer and featurette below!
