According to Resident Evil: Afterlife Producer Don Carmody, the sequel to Silent Hill may be in production this spring.
Carmody spoke to our sister site, FEARnet who visited the set of Afterlife. On Silent Hill 2, Carmody said, "I did Silent Hill and we are planning a Silent Hill 2 -- we were getting hate mail for that one."
When asked for more Silent Hill info, the producer said: "We are hoping to start it in late spring in Toronto."
Of course, the majority of the interview concerned Afterlife, the currently in-production movie version of the long-running horror series, and Carody spoke about the give and take of influence of the game series on the movie series, saying:
"We have always been cognizant of that -- we can't make the movies just for gamers. Of course, we always run the risk of incurring the wrath of the gamers -- who are very vocal. I did Silent Hill and we are planning a Silent Hill 2 -- we were getting hate mail for that one. I think with Resident Evil, after the first installment, fans realized the story was moving forward in a cinematic way. When you play the game, you are using your imagination -- you kind of sense what things will look like. The games have progressed, and are more cinematic now. In fact, the games are taking a bit from us as well. They are using our sets and characters, we are using some of their storylines... things like that. We're probably a little closer to the game now than we were with the first film."
Resident Evil: Afterlife comes out on September 10, 2010.

i also thought that after the initial sequence it was garbage like they started filiming before finishing the script

i feel like they really used a melding of charecters from the games like the protagonist was like an aged heather and the husband was like the second games protagonist it just seemed as tho they were to liberal with the storyline and considering they took no heed to the indians burial grounds mystic forces and i feel they should not use any of the games that follow the third one they just need to go to the mentaly distressed phychotrauma seen in the second two games give it that jacob's ladder effect like it was initialy intended to have

I've got mixed feelings about this one. The previous movie got the look and feel right, but the writing was terrible. I've read that Roger Avary is going to pen this one too. Not sure if that's fact or rumor, but if it's true, i hope he learns from previous mistakes on the dialogue...

I hope the play with the end of the first one.. Cause At the end my take was they never left the Silent hill world. and are still stuck in it. So like how in the later silent hills where it started spreading out side the town (silent hill 3, 4, 5) I loved the first movie cause in my book it was true to the games. and for me to think a game based movie to fit be true to the game is it needs to have The feel, The look, The Environment. and Silent Hill movie did all that (it really helped that they got the sound guy from the games doing work for the movie)
Eager to see what they do. Just hope they don't try to follow the Games to closely thats when the Video game movies start to fail in my book.

I agree with elgranconde
I hope they stay true to the 2nd games story if they're doing it on that. i just don't want to see the story go off track and get destroyed like the RE films

I felt like the they did the first one justice. Then again, I had no prior experience with the game(Shames on me). I'm actually pretty happy their going to do a sequel.
