The Veterans & CAA Media Finance Launch Sales On Christophe Gans Horror ‘Return To Silent Hill’, Victor Hadida Producing Reboot — AFM

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: Vincent Maraval and Kim Fox’s banner The Veterans has launched international sales at the AFM on horror reboot Return To Silent Hill.

CAA Media Finance is repping domestic. Filmmaker Christophe Gans and producer-distributor Victor Hadida of French indie major Metropolitan are back for the next movie in the franchise, which we hear is already selling well off of a strong script by Gans, Sandra Vo-Ahn and Will Schneider.

Shoot is being lined up for early next year with casting underway. Based on the hit Konami survival-horror video game series, Gans’ 2006 film followed a woman who goes in search for her adopted daughter within the confines of a strange, desolate town called Silent Hill, which is covered in fog and monsters.

The cult film, starring Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean, made more than $100M and spawned a sequel in 2012 (which wasn’t directed by Gans).
