Reedus is hoping that the Silent Hills video game project can still get done, says it “needs to be done!”
[dropcap size=small]E[/dropcap]ven after Konami dropped the new Silent Hills video game project, Norman Reedus still has hope that the project can get done with Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima.
“I’m super bummed that that happened back in Japan,” Reedus tells IGN, “but I have faith. I have faith that we, the three of us, can do something else. There were so many ideas and cool future happenings that were thrown around, I just can’t see us not picking this up somewhere.”
Silent Hill became a quick favorite to the public upon it’s announcement after Konami released a demo to the Playstation 4 called P.T. Del Toro and Kojima were also working with horror manga artist Junji Ito on the Silent Hills game.
“The internet buzz about [Silent Hills] happening was so huge” says Reedus. “I’ve never seen anything like it; petitions with a hundred thousand people that signed it, petitions to make it happen, that’s crazy.”
Silent Hills seems to be in the early stages of production. When the game was cancelled, Reedus said that the team “never got into the full story stuff.” But Reedus is optimistic that about continuing to work on the game with Del Toro and Kojima or starting a new project for Silent Hills.
“Hopefully they’ll come to some sort of agreement and that happens, or we do something very similar that’s different. I don’t know. I have faith that we’re going to do something though because it just seems like it was one of those things that needs to happen. It’s like destiny, it needs to happen.”
