Another Silent Hill movie sequel is in the works, as French filmmaker Christophe Gans has revealed his plans to develop a third installment of the movie series. Gans directed and co-wrote the original Silent Hill film, but declined to return for the sequel, Silent Hill: Revelation, making the third movie his official return to the franchise. Additionally, Gans wants to make a movie based on the video game Fatal Frame (also known as Project Zero or Zero), divulging that both of these horror projects are under way.
Speaking with Allocine, a French publication, Gans says he’s collaborating on two horror projects with Victor Hadida. It’s not entirely clear exactly how far along either of these projects are, as Gans only offers a few early details on each. Translated via Google, here are Gans’ direct comments from the article.
“I am working on the adaptation of the video game Project Zero (Fatal Frame). The film will take place in Japan. I certainly don’t want to uproot the game from its Japanese haunted house setting. And we’re also working on a new Silent Hill. The project will always be anchored in this atmosphere of a small American town, ravaged by Puritanism. I think it’s time to make a new one.”
