Christophe Gans Working On New Silent Hill Film!

1/31/2020

0 Comments

It would appear another Silent Hill film is in the works! French movie news website Allociné recently interviewed Christophe Gans and he had a small piece of information to share with regards to the Silent Hill movie franchise!

"I have two horror film projects with Victor Hadida . I am working on the adaptation of the video game Project Zero. The film will take place in Japan. I certainly don't want to uproot the game from its Japanese haunted house setting. And we're also working on a new Silent Hill . The project will always be anchored in this atmosphere of a small American town, ravaged by Puritanism. I think it's time to make a new one"

No other details were shared about these two new films but this is very exciting news! Christophe Gans directed the original Silent Hill movie which I personally enjoyed very much so I am looking forward to what he has planned next for the town of Silent Hill.

You can read the original article right here where he does talk a little more about the original Silent Hill film as well as the sequel Silent Hill Revelation.

Silent Hill 2 Vinyl and Pins from Mondo Available March 6th!

3/4/2019

1 Comment

Mondo have announced today that the upcoming release of Silent Hill 2 on vinyl will be released March 6th.

Along with this Mondo will be releasing a Robbie the Rabbit pin and Pyramid Head pin. The vinly artwork has been created by Sara Deck and the music remastered by James Plotkin.

'Mondo, in conjunction with Konami, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of the soundtrack to the Playstation 2 horror masterpiece: SILENT HILL 2.

SILENT HILL 2 is psychological horror by way of David Lynch, evoking the more surreal and supernatural elements of TWIN PEAKS while telling the story of one man's journey into a hell of his own creation. Like the geographical differences between the maps of the two games, musically SILENT HILL 2 feels like somewhere you've been before but mysteriously different and unique. It's haunting and beautiful at one moment, tense and spine-tingling the next. If SILENT HILL 1 is a frightful jump scare, SILENT HILL 2 will haunt you in your dreams for years to come.

Featuring all new artwork by Sara Deck. Remastered by James Plotkin and pressed on 2X 180 Gram Colored vinyl and also available on 180 Gram Black vinyl.'

Along with the SH2 vinyl, Mondo are also releasing two pins created by Sam Wolfe Connelly (who also designed the original Silent Hill vinyl artwork) which feature Robbie the Rabbit and Pyramid Head.

'Robbie the Rabbit (1.5" in height) and Pyramid Head Thing (1.5" in height). Both on a 2"x3" Backing.'

Both the vinyl and pins are due to ship late March 2019 and will be available 12 Noon March 6th CT Time (6pm UK time). The vinyl will be $35 and the pins $10 each.

As excited as I am for this release i'm a little disappointed to see that the design of the Nurse appears to be from Homecoming. Will you be grabbing anything from the new releases?

GECCO'S GREEN ROBBIE THE RABBIT STATUE COMPARISON REVIEW

4/1/2016

0 Comments

Gecko announced early in December 2015 that a new Robbie the Rabbit statue was due to be released in March the following year.

Although their Robbie the Rabbit statue already comes in three different variants, a Green version was announced with a small number of differences along with it.

The Green Robbie appears in the Usagi short film from Lost Memories: The Art and Music of Silent Hill Dvd and although he only appears briefly it would appear that brief moment was worthy of an official statue release. Not that I'm complaining of course.

As with previous reviews, I have usually talked about every aspect of the statue and its packaging, however with this review I am simply focusing on the differences. For this review I am comparing the packaging from the original Pink Robbie as well as the Pink and Blue statues themselves.

The front of the box is identical to the original pink Robbie packaging. There appears to be no differences at all, which is somewhat of a shame as the three previous releases had differences with each one. It would have been great to see another variation in the box so they look even better when all placed side by side.

The back features an image taken from the Dvd of a small number of Robbies crowded together in a elevator. You can clearly see the Green Robbie in the picture. This image is also signed by Usagi Tanaka in the lower right hand corner. The same image is also printed on the back of the info card included with every statue.

Starting with the left hand side of the box, it once again features information about the people behind the statue. The only difference here are the actual people who worked on this and the original. Whereas the right hand side is almost identical, the only difference is that they have added a small section about the short film included on the Lost Memories Dvd.

When comparing the statues side by side, the only difference is the blood and obviously his colour. With the original Pink and Blue Robbie statues, the blood was symmetrical either side of the mouth. As you can see from the pictures, the new Robbie's blood is all around his mouth and cheeks. There appear to be no other differences aside from this.

The chainsaw is in red this time instead of black or yellow with the words engraved into it being 'Together we are one'. The steel pipe is no more! This Robbie must be honest as this time he comes with a gold pipe, which I actually really like. A small easter egg in Silent Hill 3 allowed the player to obtain either a silver or gold pipe dependant on the players honesty.

You can still grab the Green Robbie from D4Toys for $155 as well as the Blue variant which was originally exclusive to Japan and is priced slightly cheaper at $140. Shipping is available worldwide.

Liked this? Why not also check out a review for the Souvenir Robbie statue as well as info on Gecco's next two Silent Hill releases.

Radha Mitchell is on board for a third Silent Hill film

3/29/2016

1 Comment

It's been 4 years since Silent Hill Revelation 3D was released in cinema's and although the only bit of news we've had with regards to a third film has been a small email between Paradise and Don Carmody. It would appear the main star of the film series is on board for a third film.

Radha Mitchell was recently interviewed about her latest film The Darkness by BlairWitch.de which is where she stated that:

"I'm good with Samuel Hadida, one of the producers of the series, we're friends. If there should be an opportunity to work together again, that would be great. I think what Christophe Gans has done in regard to the appearance (of the film), is incredible."

She also stated that should love to see the old team back together again and;

"At first-I liked very much that he made an almost exclusively female Cast. I would like to see Rose somehow manages to escape from the underworld, all work together to defeat the darkness, then the sun rises and all are happy. Rose is forever in hell"

Although this is only comments during an interview, it's great to see that she is on board for a third film. It took 6 years last time before we got a sequel to the original film so any news on a third is somewhat exciting. As to whether we will actually see a third film is yet to be seen. Although i'm up for a third if the original team are back on board too.

Only time will tell!

Creating Silent Hill, an interview with Masahiro Ito

2/2/2016

2 Comments

Masahiro Ito was the creature and background designer for the first three Silent Hill games as well as art director for Silent Hill 2 and 3.

An original member of Team Silent, Ito has continued to contributed to the Silent Hill Universe even after he finished working on the games. This includes cover art for the Silent Hill Zero soundtrack along with the 'White Hunter' comic that was included. Cover art for the Japanese release of Silent Hill Downpour and Homecoming (although Homecoming's release was later cancelled). As well as this Ito has also designed a variant cover for issue 3 of the Dying Inside comics and also designed the Japanese exclusive comics Double Under Dusk and Cage of Cradle.

I managed to grab a very brief interview with Mr Ito during his busy schedule to ask a few questions with regards to Silent Hill and what he has planned for the future. Due to Ito being a very busy man the interview was quick but highly appreciated.

Out of the games that you have worked on, which game stands out the most for you and why?

It is a game when I have worked on in SCE from 2008 to 2010, but was not released. It's a Russian retro Sci-Fi horror action game.

Where do you find inspiration for your art and designs?

All of things what I have seen.

Did you want to work within the Horror genre before Silent Hill came along?

No, I didn't.

Would you like to work on another Silent Hill game in the future?

If I am given such a offer, I will accept it.

What was the first creature for Silent Hill that you designed?

It was "child monster" (Grey child) in North America version. If I remember correctly.

When designing the monsters for Silent Hill, was you given an idea to work from or did you come up with designs yourself?

I Came up with designs myself but a few of the monsters in first Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama, he requested me to design those monsters, which he imaged, like "child" and "incubus".
I didn't design all of the monsters in the first Silent Hill, in the first place. Naoko Sato and Keiichiro Toyama, they designed monsters in it too.

You have also worked on Silent Hill comics Double Under Dusk and Cage of Cradle. Would you like to work on another Silent Hill comic in the future?

If I am given such a offer, I will accept it.

Your book The 2nd Wild Pig was released in Japan, do you ever plan on releasing it outside of Japan? and do you think you will release another book in the future?

Yes, I have some plans like that.

Can you reveal any information about the upcoming statues that will be released by Gecco?

The statue will reveal the very first concept for what is actually under the RPT's helmet! About this, it's not to be able to remove his helmet but to get a glimpse of 'under the helmet' because removing his helmet is like a wet blanket.

Gecco Corp announce a Green Robbie the Rabbit Variant Is On The Way

12/3/2015

0 Comments

Gecco Corp have revealed that a new Silent Hill statue is finally on the way! Although it isn't exactly 'new' it is a first for Robbie the Rabbit.

A new green variant statue of Robbie the Rabbit is due to be released in 2016 and will be priced at $150.

There are already a total of 3 variants of this statue available (Bloody Blue, Bloody Pink and a clean souvenir version) making this the 4th Robbie variant to be released by Gecco Corp. One thing that instantly stands out for me is the shade of green he is.
This particular variant is taken from the Usagi short film from The Art of Silent Hill Dvd. Green Robbie only appears briefly and appears to lighter in colour.

This statue will be distributed worldwide via D4TOYS and will be 1/6 in scale. Once again he will be flocked and will also come with a Chainsaw and gold pipe (another first). The chainsaw also has the words 'Together we are one' inscribed into the side.

As Robbie also appears in Yellow and Purple, I wonder if we will see additional colours in the future.

You can pre-order him from D4Toys.

Will you be pre-ordering Green Robbie?
