Return to Silent Hill 2026

Return to Silent Hill is a 2026 supernatural psychological horror film written and directed by Christophe Gans, co-written by Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider, and produced by Victor Hadida through his Davis Films banner. Loosely based on the 2001 video game Silent Hill 2 by Konami, it is the third Silent Hill film and a reboot. Starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, it follows James Sunderland, a broken man who receives a mysterious letter which calls him back to Silent Hill in search of his lost love. However, he finds a once-recognizable town and encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new, and begins to question his sanity. Plans for a new Silent Hill film adaptation began in December 2006; Gans and former writer Roger Avary had been hired to helm a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2, which was greenlit by Sony. However, the project did not move forward and was instead released as a sequel titled Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) without Gans and Avary's involvement. By 2020, Gans announced he was working on a new Silent Hill film, adapting the events of the second game. The film was greenlit in October 2022, with Gans returning to write and direct the project.
