Roy Lee Reportedly Involved in New Silent Hill Project

Producer Roy Lee is reportedly involved in a new Silent Hill screen project, according to a profile of him in The Wall Street Journal. The project has not been officially announced, and its format and development status have not been confirmed. The available reporting identifies Lee’s involvement but does not establish whether the project is a feature film or a television series. No director or cast has been announced, and the project’s stage of development is unknown. The details are based on the profile rather than a project-specific announcement from Lee or another party. Lee produced Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil, which has recently been released. The Silent Hill report follows that collaboration, but it does not confirm that the new project is intended to repeat the approach taken by Resident Evil or that the two projects are connected beyond Lee’s role as producer. Lee has also worked on film and television projects based on established properties. One account of his work says that while collaborating with Cregger on Barbarian, Lee asked which video game Cregger would want to adapt; Cregger chose Resident Evil, and Lee later secured rights for that project.
