An original uncut print of Christophe Gans’ 2006 adaptation of Silent Hill has reportedly been discovered and is currently being scanned, according to Peter Ncseventeen of Scanners Inc.
The scan has been ordered by Gans and writer Roger Avery, who adapted the video game to film for the first time 20 years ago. Peter alleges that this new cut runs longer than the other versions, running at 134 minutes. He also clarifies that this is not the workprint, which runs nearly 3-hours long and is still missing. However, he promises it’s “more violent.”
In the video game adaptation, “Unable to accept the fact that her daughter is dying, Rose (Radha Mitchell) decides to take the girl to a faith healer. On the way, the pair drives through a portal in reality, leading to an eerie town called Silent Hill. The town is surrounded by a potent darkness, and the human survivors fight a losing battle against it.”
Silent Hill grossed about $100 million worldwide against an estimated $50 million budget, making it a modest box-office success despite mixed reviews.
Another serious rarity. This is the uncut version of the original Silent Hill. This cut runs longer than other versions. This print has had very few plays & I will be scanning this 35mm DTS version for writer @AVARY & for its filmmaker. Will inspect soon.. pic.twitter.com/IrOOtHRnfU
