Return to Silent Hill drops first trailer, expected to premiere in late 2024 

Easily one of the most highly-anticipated horror projects of the near future, Return to Silent Hill is based on the famous Silent Hill 2 video game and stars the likes of Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. The movie, which will see Irvine star as the protagonist James Sunderland whom gamers will be more than familiar with as far as the video game is concerned, does not yet have a release date, although it is rumored to be set for a late 2024 premiere.

Regardless, Konami, the publisher of the original video game, recently hosted a special fan event which was livestream on Twitch, titled Silent Hill Transmission. It gave fans the first look at the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake and also gave them a few undisclosed scenes which will be included in the upcoming Return to Silent Hill movie.

The trailer itself is merely a 47-second watch, but it gives fans plenty of deals regarding what they can expect from the upcoming horror offering.

Played by Jeremy Irvine, Sunderland is seen maniacally staring at a mirror towards the beginning of the short trailer. He clutches a letter from his deceased fiancé Mary and sets out to find her in the small town of Silent Hill.
