United Kingdom, May 9 -- A third 'Silent Hill' movie, 'Return to Silent Hill' is in development.

The upcoming horror flick will be based on Konami's 2001 video game classic 'Silent Hill 2', and is to be directed by Christopher Gans - the filmmaker behind the controversial 2006 movie 'Silent Hill'.

Cineverse - which has acquired the rights for the film in the U.S. - promised 'Return to Silent Hill' would be a "faithful adaptation of the video game 'Silent Hill 2'".

Cineverse executive director of acquisitions Brandon Hill said in a statement: "'Silent Hill' is one of the best video game franchises period, and Christophe Gans did a phenomenal job capturing the atmosphere of the games once again with 'Return to Silent Hill'."
