Hearts were broken across the globe this year when Konami announced they had cancelled video game Silent Hills, which was being worked on by a dream team including Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima. Norman Reedus was on board to star, and this week he opens up about the project.
In an interview with IGN, the star of “The Walking Dead” expressed sadness over the cancellation of the game, but he remains hopeful about the future.
“I’m super bummed that that happened back in Japan,” Reedus said when asked about the game’s demise, “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.”
How far along was the game before Konami pulled the plug?
“We did some of that photography with a thousand cameras pointing at you in a million different directions,” Reedus revealed. “We did some things with them that might be – I don’t know if it’s on the cutting room floor. It might be in someone’s hard drive somewhere. We did some stuff for it, but we never got into the full story stuff. We were about to and that water balloon burst.”
Whether or not Silent Hills will come back to life, in any capacity, remains to be seen, though Reedus is well aware that the fans want it.
“The internet buzz about [Silent Hills] happening was so huge. I’ve never seen anything like it; petitions with a hundred thousand people that signed it, petitions to please make it happen, that’s crazy,” he said. “That’s a crazy fanbase for not just that video game but also those people making that video game, and for me to jump on that truck with them, I was like, ‘Holy balls. It has to happen. You need to do this.'”
Reedus wants it. We want it. Give it to us, Konami!
