In an interview with French-language site <a href="http://www.dvdrama.com/news.php&amp;page=1">DVDrama</a>, Gans hopes that the Roger Avery-penned sequel will retain the visual aesthetic of the first film should he be too busy adapting an <em>Onimusha </em>film to take the director's chair. In his hypotehtical absence, Gans would like a European director to take his stead so as to avoid making the film "too Hollywood" (loose translation).<br /><br />Of course, some continuity issues run amok if the films follow the same timeline as the games, most notably the inclusion of Pyramid Head; we'll spare you the spoilers and let you read the film's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill_(film)#Relationship_to_the_Video_Games">Wiki page</a> if you are curious. The original <em>Silent Hill</em> film, after <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/04/21/joystiq-review-silent-hill-the-movie/">initial dismay</a>, eventually grew on me as a mediocre horror flick that proved itself better than a multitude of other game adaptations. Gans hopes that sequel will correct the mistakes of the first movie; let's hope it does so we can finally have a decent game-film to hold up as a pillar by which to compare the rest.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://digitalbattle.com/2006/12/26/silent-hill-movie-sequel/">Digital Battle</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/27/another-silent-hill-film-in-the-cards/">Another Silent Hill film in the cards</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 27 Dec 2006 14:25:00 EST.
