New Silent Hill and Fatal Frame Movie Announced by Original Director
Original Silent Hill movie director Christophe Gans will return for new Silent Hill and a Fatal Frame movie.

Gans also revealed in his interview that after his stint on first Silent Hill movie, he stepped away from an offer to direct its 2012 sequel, Silent Hill: Revelation, when he realized that producers wanted to make a film like Resident Evil.
Compared to many other video game movies released over years, 2006 version of Silent Hill was better received by critics and fans alike. Gans was successful in recreating a fog-covered town and recurring themes shown in series titles.
