Jeremy Irvine (War Horse, Great Expectations, The Railway) Mann) will play James Sunderland and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw, X-Men: Dark Phoenix, The Purge) will play Mary/Maria.
Gunns, who directed the 2006 film Silent Hill but was not involved with the 2012 sequel Silent Hill, said, “Return to Silent Hill is about going to hell to save someone.

The film is part of Konami’s own return to Silent Hill, accompanying a series of video games: Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, No Code’s Silent Hill Townfall, and a prequel called Silent Hill F. Tale.
“Christophe and I worked closely with our partners at Konami to update the video game and create a version of Silent Hill for today’s theater audience,” said Silent Hill producer Victor Hadida. We’ll continue to see classic monsters, but we’ll also see new designs, and we’re confident that this new film and Konami’s updated game together will propel the franchise forward for years to come.”
Gunns has previously stated that one of his main goals with Return to Silent Hill was to find a way to redesign Pyramid Head, which appeared in both previous films. The overexposed executioners first introduced in Silent Hill 2 are Silent Hill Homecoming, Silent Hill: Book of Memories, Silent Hill: The Arcade, Dead By Daylight, Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals, Super Bomberman R, and Even crazy kart racing.
