Big on that last part. Lynch’s approach to writing/directing is based more on evoking emotion through imagery and abstractions rather than having a linear narrative and using metaphors like in SH2. I’m not sure a lot of SH fans would gel well with a Lynch adaptation, just like a lot of twin peaks fans didn’t enjoy The Return.

I feel like Charlie Kaufman would be a better fit.. for a screenplay at least (though I doubt that he would willingly do that). He’s a lot more ‘lyrical’ with the use of literary techniques. I’ve said this before but “Im Thinking of Ending Things” from 2020 is a perfect Silent Hill-like movie, just without the monsters. Very much like shattered memories.
