“Return to Silent Hill” Sets U.S. Film Distributor

Cineverse has announced that they have acquired the U.S. rights to Christophe Gans’ “Return to Silent Hill” with plans for a wide theatrical release in America at a date to be announced.

The project marks a return to the franchise for Gans who helmed the 2006 “Silent Hill” film which remains one of the better-reviewed game-to-film adaptations and grossed $100 million worldwide off a $50 million budget.

Jeremy Irvine (“Treadstone”) and Hannah Emily Anderson (“Jigsaw”) lead the cast of the new film, which is directly based on the highly acclaimed “Silent Hill 2” game that itself scored a very well-received remake last year.

Irvine stars as James, a man devastated after being separated from his soulmate and who receives a mysterious letter that leads him back to a town called Silent Hill where he hopes to find her.

He discovers that the town has been changed by some unknown malevolent force. As James descends deeper into the fog-enshrouded 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.

Ganes co-wrote the film with Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider.
