## Key points

- Producer Roy Lee reportedly working on new Silent Hill film
- His recent Resident Evil film was critically successful and box office hit
- No confirmation from Konami; Resident Evil director not involved

## Summary

Producer Roy Lee is reportedly working on a new Silent Hill film adaptation, according to a Wall Street Journal profile of his career. This represents a potential turning point for the horror franchise's film adaptations, which have received consistently poor critical reception over the past two decades. The news comes after the recently released Return to Silent Hill was widely panned, and Lee was not involved in that production.

Lee's involvement is significant because his recent Resident Evil film has become the highest-grossing entry in the series domestically and has been well received by both critics and audiences. There is no indication that Zack Cregger, the Resident Evil director, will be involved with the Silent Hill project. Whilst no official announcement has been made by Konami or Lee, the Wall Street Journal report listed Silent Hill amongst the franchises he is currently developing, alongside God of War and Battlefield adaptations.
