It was not too long ago revealed that Return to Silent Hill – a brand new film based mostly on Silent Hill 2 – has completed filming. Yeah, though it has flown a bit below the radar, a brand new Silent Hill film based mostly on the occasions of Silent Hill 2 has been within the works for some time, and I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

I do know that getting two re-tellings of Silent Hill 2 in such a brief timespan will most likely strike many as bizarre, however the excellent news right here is that they’ve introduced again Christophe Gans, the French director accountable for the unique Silent Hill movie — the one which kinda owns, not the terrible 3D one.

On high of my perception that Gans is a gifted director with a powerful creative imaginative and prescient, I additionally belief him to helm the venture as a result of, effectively, he’s had a great affect on gaming even with out understanding it. You see, again in 2001, Gans directed Le Pacte Des Loups, which got here out within the West as Brotherhood Of The Wolf.

The movie tells the story of two hunters making an attempt to trace down the beast of Gévaudan, a supposedly supernatural predator that stalked the French province of Gévaudan and killed over 100 folks within the eighteenth century.

Despite the fact that its story is by some means based mostly on precise historic accounts, you possibly can most likely inform by now that Brotherhood Of The Wolf sounds a bit like Bloodborne. And, wouldn’t you realize it, it additionally seems to be quite a bit like Bloodborne.

That’s not even mere rumour. Elden Ring and Bloodborne director Hidetaka Miyazaki had no downside admitting that he based mostly a variety of the seems to be of Bloodborne on this movie in a long-lost interview with IGN Brazil. The interview is of course in Portuguese, and that’s how not too many individuals know concerning the direct affect.

Nonetheless, these curious can use a translator, take a look at this correct translation on Resetera, which we first mentioned all the way in which again in 2019.

One other factor it’s best to belief me on is concerning the movie itself. Despite the fact that it’s perhaps only a bit too lengthy, it nonetheless completely rocks.

Neither Return to Silent Hill nor the Silent Hill 2 remake have an official launch date, however they’re each set to come back out this 12 months.
