A Silent Hill 2 movie, fittingly titled Return to Silent Hill, is in the works and will be overseen by director Christophe Gans, who also directed the series' 2006 film. 

Konami unveiled the Silent Hill 2 movie during today's big showcase, which also saw confirmation of an upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake and new games like Silent Hill Ascension and Silent Hill f, among other announcements.

Hadida adds that it's also about the story of Orpheus and "whether a man can go deep into hell to bring back the soul or the person he loved the most in his life."

Gans and Hadida repeatedly reiterate that they are aiming to respect the "will of the author" and the intent of the original story.
