"The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus talks about the cancelled "Silent Hills" video game from Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima.
In an interview with IGN, Norman Reedus finally shared his thoughts on the supposed project between the "Labyrinth" helmer and the "Metal Gear Solid" video game producer.
"There were so many ideas and cool future happenings that were thrown around," Reedus said, "I just can't see us not picking this up somewhere."
Reedus, known for his bow-wielding character as Daryl Dixon in the AMC series, was supposed to star in the video game production from Konami. "Silent Hills" would be the latest installment of the famous survival horror video game franchise, "Silent Hill." It was first teased as "P.T" (Playable Teaser), which later revealed Reedus as the main protagonist.
The 46-year-old actor said Reedus is doubtful about the existence of the mysterious game. However, he said that they made a lot of materials before Konami cut off the production.
Meanwhile, Reedus remains hopeful that he, del Toro and Kojima can still continue their creative collaboration. He also shared that the strong following and large fan base helped him to retain his faith on the game's future. He then shared that the fans also kicked off various petitions with thousands of signatures.
"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."
Del Toro, who was supposed to spearhead the production, shared his laments in an interview with Bloody Disgusting. He said that the cancellation "made no sense" as they were already "going in the right direction." Similar to Reedus, Del Toro was looking forward in making the game possible alongside Kojami and Konami.
"We were hoping to actually create some sort of panic with some of the devices we were talking about and it is really a shame that it's not happening." Del Toro said
