Development and writing
In January 2020, Silent Hill (2006) director Christophe Gans told French magazine Allocine that he was in the process of writing new screenplays based on the Silent Hill and Fatal Frame series with producer Victor Hadida. He later clarified that the work was not a direct sequel to the 2006–2012 film series and that his sensibilities had evolved since the release of the first film. He also described the series as an anthology similar to The Twilight Zone, a place where any story could be told, and intended to depict a more psychoanalytic side to the town. Written by Gans, Sandra Vo-Anh and Will Schneider, the film is an adaptation of the video game Silent Hill 2. Gans said in September 2022 that he had finished the film's storyboards and that the film takes inspiration from P.T., the playable teaser for the cancelled game Silent Hills. By October 2022, the film was officially green-lit with the title Return to Silent Hill. Gans worked with Konami to create a new aesthetic for the monsters, including those that had been featured in his previous film, such as Red Pyramid Thing. Filming
Principal photography took place from April to July 2023. Filming took place in the German cities of Munich, Penzing, Nuremberg and Lake Ammer. The production was awarded €1 million from Germany's FFY Bayern media funding program. References
