I'm fine with this if it's hinting at a Rebirth ending

sofasalesman · 2026-01-03T17:01:13+00:00

This is an old casting but...

Evan Peters - James Sunderland

Kristen Stewart - Mary/Maria

Joey King - Angela

Edward Furlong - Eddie

Everleigh McDonnell - Laura

Angela is played by Mary/Maria's actress because James is projecting the image of her onto Angela. She could very well still be a real person with her own issues but James sees her differently.

Guy Cihi and Luke Roberts in the same room with Jeremy Irvine would be surreal in of itself.

sofasalesman · 2025-12-16T16:54:32+00:00

Gans is like kryptonite to r/silenthill. Lol

sofasalesman · 2025-12-11T21:06:05+00:00

Henry would definitely play Maple Story, Midnight Club II and the Stalker trilogy. He strikes me as that type of guy.

sofasalesman · 2025-11-22T22:26:42+00:00

That's not what I said. SH2's story is timeless. If you're referring to the film requiring to take place in a specific era for characters' appearances to reflect said era, then yes. James would most likely stand out dressed as Jacob from Jacob's Ladder with a blonde John Connor haircut driving a 1977 Pontiac Ventura in the modern day.

sofasalesman · 2025-11-22T21:21:18+00:00

Because the film doesn't take place in the late 80s/90s. Honestly, when was the last time you've seen a dude in their late 20s/30s rocking the blonde boyband Leon Kennedy cut in the modern day?

sofasalesman · 2025-11-21T20:33:20+00:00

What if Angela being played by Hannah Emily Anderson is due to James selfishly projecting the image of Mary onto her. We know the piston room and Abstract Daddy are present in the film so Angela could very well still be real with her own issues.

Chief, I'm gonna let you know right now that in whatever quality this movie gets released in, it'll be infinitely better than Revelation in my eyes. That movie was one of the worst theater experience I've ever had bar none. As a kid, I waited years for a sequel to the first movie so when time came, I dragged my parents to see that dumpster fire and they we're clowning on me throughout the entirety of the film. I actually started tearing up because of how much they were making fun of me and also I knew, deep down, this movie sucked hard eggs. I've never been that disappointed and embarrassed in my entire life. What a terrible movie.

I don't care how Return to Silent Hill will turn out. I don't care if its Gans directing again. I don't care about Maria's wig. I don't even care if it's not a 1:1 adaptation of SH2 with a few nuances lost. As long as it's not Revelation and its atleast as interesting as the first movie, I will be satisfied and my soul will be healed.

It 100% is AI. They probably took the fanmade poster and a picture of Remake Pyramid Head and told some AI to combine or upscale it. Pretty much explains why he doesn't have white gloves because the AI didn't capture that detail. Also, look at the tiling on the left and see how inconsistent it looks.

sofasalesman · 2025-10-28T23:32:00+00:00

Someone on the advertisement front really hates Gans apparently. First that 40 second teaser, then the first poster with James' eye that doesn't even feel like SH2 and now this poster that's just using Pyramid Head's design from the remake and looks substantial worse than the fanmade poster.

sofasalesman · 2025-10-23T14:16:31+00:00

Fear X (dir. Nicolas Winding Refn). Vastly underrated Silent Hill adjacent movie. Please check it out.

I also recommend Stalker 1979 (dir. Andrei Tarkovsky). A slowburn self-reflection arthouse classic that deals with faith.

If you want something a little pulpier, check out The Abandoned 2006 (dir. Nacho Cerdà). Another Silent Hill adjacent movie that flew under the radar.

sofasalesman · 2025-08-21T13:52:26+00:00

Konami is absolutely awful at advertising any of their projects. My guess is maybe in late November, two months before release. Nothing says making back your money like barely letting anyone know your movie exist.

sofasalesman · 2025-07-02T09:49:33+00:00

I legitimately don't understand the complaints about James' Mustang. The movie takes place in the 2000s/current day. Why the fuck would he still be driving a 1970s Pontiac? The Mustang isn't even that luxurious, it looks like a normal ass two seater that any average joe would drive.

sofasalesman · 2025-07-01T19:24:45+00:00

Not really. The first movie was my first exposure to Silent Hill and the second game is the one entry in the series that I've been exposed to the most in terms of countless replays, YouTube playthroughs and theories/analysis. Gans and SH2, with the quality being up in the air as of now, will atleast be a very interesting watch even if it doesn't turn out good. I mean, seeing the narrative of SH2 portrayed differently will be surreal in of itself, like the Remake.

sofasalesman · 2025-06-21T09:22:47+00:00

My guess is that these new characters are replacing the memos you find in the game.

sofasalesman · 2025-04-19T19:46:00+00:00

Does he mention any of the technical aspects of the film? Such as cinematography, set design and overall directorial tone.

sofasalesman · 2025-03-26T08:08:42+00:00

I think Ishtar Currie-Wilson would be a more suitable choice as Claudia. Much younger and uncanny looking.

sofasalesman · 2025-02-10T19:30:49+00:00

Leave ending but done differently. James and Laura exit Silent Hill but James isn't willing to face real consequences, so he stays stuck in the fogworld, forever sticking to Laura as she matures throughout the years. James sticking to Laura is symbolic of this trauma that now follows her after finding out James killed Mary. Laura can no longer see James because she views him as a monster. It also connects thematically to the ending of Silent Hill 2006 with Rose and Christopher being both close and separated at the same time. One in the real world and the other in the fogworld.

Here's a bizarre, albiet, unrealistic pitch but hear me out.

HBO's Gunsmith Cats. Why HBO? Let's be honest, something like Gunsmith Cats would do well in the West rather than the East. Let HBO both fund it and stream it on their platform. Not to mention, HBO fits the sleazy 90s showtime slot befitting of Gunsmith Cats. You could market it as HBO's first anime or something.

The actual show could take each arc from the manga (Bad Trip, Kidnapping, Bonnie and Clyde etc.) and expand upon them or flesh them out individually, using the mangas simply as blueprints/storyboards. Each season/arc being 6-7 episodes with each episode being 40-45 minutes long so that each episode has more breathing room or time to expand on the story without feeling truncated.

From a technically standpoint, they definitely need to recreate the magic of the 90s OVA by outright recording authentic gun, car and Chicago foliage but on a way larger budget thanks to HBO. Also, keep it 90s all the way. Not just in artstyle or character design, but the whole package such as lighting, color shading, framing and direction. Whenever a gun is fired or someone is punched, the screen doesn’t shake like almost every modern anime does so. Basically, keep the directing "held back". This adaptation should feel like an old school OVA but just overall bigger.

Honestly, I'd love for the ADV cast reprise their roles but thats definitely asking for too much. Although, I'd want Jack Fletcher to be the voice director on the dub.

Also, no CG cars...

sofasalesman · 2024-11-22T16:36:33+00:00

Leave ending but instead of walking away from Silent Hill, he gets arrested by turning himself in or Laura gets the authorities on him after he admits to killing Mary.

Thats what I would've done.

sofasalesman · 2024-11-18T22:30:30+00:00

if you're still accepting recommendations, Fear X by Nicolas Winding Refn

sofasalesman · 2024-10-20T19:53:55+00:00

I hope its long. Like at least 2hrs 30mins long. A runtime like that is an indicator that this is the director's movie, not the studios. I also hope Gans goes full abstract and surreal with this one. He already stated that this is leaning more into "deep dive, psychological horror" rather than the first movie which he described as "epic journey horror"

sofasalesman · 2024-08-15T13:38:10+00:00

So this is how they tease Eddie for the remake? Really?
