Sequel Details

[angelofROOM302]

Another clue this is fake: they listed the location of the town as Portland, Maine when the movie's canon firmly placed it in West Virginia...

I missed that.

On 14th September 2007, British television station ITV published the first details of the movie's plot on their forums. The plot will be a direct sequel to the first film (differing from the style used by the games in which sequels of one story arc generally appear every other game.) based on the story of Silent Hill 3.

'The second installment of the Silent Hill series leads journalist Brett Cartland into Portland, Maine to work on a documentary about the abandoned mining town of Silent Hill. He finds himself trapped inside of a closing shopping mall with a mysterious young woman named Kara. The exits are blocked and a series of odd noises from an unknown section of the mall lead to an unimaginable terror. Kara and Brett go deep into Silent Hill during the second act of the film in the search of her true identity. He quickly learns that there is more to her past than she is letting on.'

They could've changed it.

[AuraTwilight]

Yea, but that's retarded, and too big of a change for an editor not to piss a storm.

[angelofROOM302]

If it's based on the third movie.. Heather didn't even live in Silent Hill. Right?

[AgentNein]

but it says that the main character heads to Portland in order to do a documentary on Silent Hill. Seems like a silly way to do a documentary.

[Detective Cartland]

Ashton Kutcher: You guys just got PUNK'D!

[SilentMadness]

journalist Brett Cartland

since we're doing name changes here, why not go with:

claudia Morris
Heather wolf (that actually sounds fitting)
vincent cartland
douglas, the psyhotic priest!

There, that's not too subtle is it?

Considering that Alessa is fully aware of who she is, it would make no sense to change her name.

Gans said in an interview that he has full intentions of making a second installment to the SH movie series. First though he is finishing his current flick Onimusha. Gans claims that he will start film roduction of SH 2 in late 2009. The writer of SH2 movie will be new as well.

2009 That's such a distance from the first movies release. They should have timed it so people could enjoy SH@ and SHV at the same time

I was not happy with SH:Movie, so can't say that I'm thrilled to have another Gans' direction. But new writer sounds good. That means no longer Avary? I'm up for that.

[JKristine35]

That interview is months old and I'm pretty sure that movie has been put on hold, giving Gans plenty of time to work on SH2- but he's not doing anything.

IMDB's current synopsis as of 4 weeks ago. Again, take with a pinch of salt as highly likely to be untrue. However, it may be more of a true representation of the second movie's direction if it ever does get made.

PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:

It is said that the sequel to Silent Hill 2 will be based around the plot of Silent Hill 2 the game. It's been three years since Rose Da Silva [Radha Mitchell] and daughter Sharon Da Silva [Jodelle Ferland] have been missing, after many numerous investigations, Christopher [Sean Bean] has finally set out to once again, look for his daughter and wife, this time without the help of Detective Thomas Gucci [Kim Coats]. Soon Chris finds himself stuck in the nightmarish world of Silent Hill, along the way he meets new and interesting characters, one being Jacob Burn [Taraye Casdorph] a young teen, and Laura a young girl who had arrived in the town with Jacob. Both claim to have no recollection of how they really came to this hell. There is also a rumor that Maria will be adapted into the game. Konami has refused to verify the plot of Silent Hill 2 considering it's slow development. However it was said that some elements from the second game will be adapted into the live action sequel.

^^
Sounds pretty good, if it's true.
I highly doubt the jacob, laura and maria thing though.

[fudgestix]

I'm pretty sure ITV got that synopsis from IMDB, that went up as a synopsis on IMDB a few weeks after the movie came out. As for the 'new' synopsis I wouldn't hold your breath. It's all just rumours until someone from the production steps forward and confirms it.

[angelofROOM302]

Darn.
I'm not believing anything anymore about this movie.
I'll just wait until it comes out. That is, if it ever does.

[Mr.FLOOT]

Gurr, I like that Idea...it's one I've had for a while too, having Christopher go to Silent Hill so it can sort of follow the story of 2. Hmmm I refuse to believe anything untill I see 100% proof.

[Naughty Nurses]

don't even get me started with the douche-e-douches on imdb, it took me a while to realize that people are just a-holes that like to screw with people. i saw on there a long time ago that diana scarwid, the daughter from mommie dearest (NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!!!!! haha) was going to play claudia, which i think would be absolutely perfect, but that's probably not going to happen. anyway, i believe gans has said that he will have nothing to do with the sequel, which kind of sucks, because he wasn't the problem with the first one, it was that damned writer. i think if this movie actually does get made, which i hope it does i've been excited about it since december 07, it would be cool for them to tie the story of sh2, it's the best story out of all of them. but like everybody else has said, we can believe nothing until it happens, i don't think they even have a script written. i do believe they will make a sequel, it's just a matter of when, unfortunately.

Man, it would really suck if they decided to go all SH3 on us with the next movie. (Yes, I realize it was fake)
