Roy Lee, a producer on the new Resident Evil film now in U.S. theaters, is developing a film adaptation of Silent Hill, according to The Wall Street Journal. Lee is working on roughly 20 film and television projects, some based on games. The Resident Evil film, directed by Zach Cregger, opened in the U.S. on September 18 and reaches Japan on October 9.
The Resident Evil film that Lee produced opened in the U.S. on September 18, ahead of Japan, and is directed by Zach Cregger. Its worldwide opening box office reached about 17 billion yen, and the film holds a Metascore of 79 from 50 reviews on Metacritic.
Silent Hill has been adapted before. Christophe Gans directed the 2006 film and this year's Return to Silent Hill, and both drew poor reviews. Gans said in a January interview that he would like to direct another adaptation. No director is named for the project involving Lee.
