Return to Silent Hill, the live-action film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, is being directed by Christophe Gans, who helmed the controversial𝕴 2006 Silent Hill movie, but it sounds like this new one will be more faithful to the game.

Per , Return to Silent Hill is set for a theatrical release on the big screen. There's still no release date attached, but we no🧔w know Cineverse has acquired the rights for the movie in the US. The company promised it'll be "a faithful adaptation of the video game Silent Hill 2," which is pretty much exactly what the 2006 Silent Hill wasn't.

Thiꦚs might be a hot take, but 2006 Silent Hill is a vibe, man. The plot's a lit🅰tle all over the place and it's not afraid to take creative liberties that diverge from the games, but divorced from the Silent Hill name it's a half-decent supernatural horror movie with solid acting, great practical effects, and a consistently oppressive atmosphere.

That said, it is not a faithful adaptation of the game✅s. With just how good Silent Hill 2's story is, I'm glad to hear Gans and co. are focusing on a more d🤪irect interpretation.

For what it's worth, the official press release includes the film's prem🦂ise, and yeah, it seems 🐼pretty faithful:

"James, a man broken after his relationship wit🐻h the love of his life, Mary, ends. When a mysterious letter from her calls him back🧜 to Silent Hill, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil.

While James desperately searches for Mary he encounters terrifying creatures and begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to the town. But as he descends deeper into the darkness the secrets he uncovers lead to a horrifying truth, and James fin🉐ds himself struggling to hold on long enough to save his one true love."

Return to Silent Hill stars Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again lead Jeremy Irvine as main protagonist James Sunderland an𝓰d Jigsaw star Han♈nah Emily Anderson as Mary Shepherd-Sunderland.

"I am delighted to partner with Cineverse, which has shown a genuine understanding of fanship," said Gans. "Return to Silent Hill is an adaptation created out of deep respect for a true masterpiece of a game, Konami's iconic Silent Hill 2. I hope fans will enjoy and be fulfi♋lled with the expe𝓡rience this new film has to offer."
