Title: Silent Hill 3

Silent Hill 3 Is Coming from Original Director
Quote

French filmmaker Christophe Gans has revealed his plans to develop two new horror movies based on video games, including another Silent Hill sequel and a Fatal Frame adaptation. Though Gans wrote and directed the original Silent Hill movie from 2006, he had no part in the 2012 sequel, passing the torch to new writer and director Michael J. Bassett.

Now, speaking with the French publication Allocine, Gans teases his return to the horror franchise by claiming he's already begun developing Silent Hill 3. Translated, here are Gans' comments from the interview.
"And we're also working on a new Silent Hill. The project will always be anchored in this atmosphere of a small American town, ravaged by Puritanism. I think it's time to make a new one."

Concerning the new Silent Hill, all we have to go on at this point are these vague comments about its setting from Gans. For now, we can only speculate over which characters or actors we might possibly see returning in some capacity, or if Gans will be telling a completely new story elsewhere in the titular ghost town. Even with little information, this is still very interesting news for fans of the original Silent Hill movie who were left underwhelmed by Silent Hill: Revelation. Bringing Gans back into the franchise to continue his adapted version of the Silent Hill story might be the best way to go if a third movie is going to be made.
