Interview with Christophe Gans at the FEFFS
A journey from journalist to director
Christophe Gans isn't anyone. A true passion for genre cinema, which he introduced the public in the 1970s, thanks to Fantastic Screen then with Starfix of which he was editor-in-chief, he was then promoter of Asian films in the Hegaxone with HK Magazine the dawn of the year 2000. To measure the impact of these cult reviews, it was enough to go and have a drink at the Grincheux bistro after a night session so that the tavernier would come out of the closet the very first issues of the era that generously illustrate this article. A whole symbol of a journal that initiated and marked a generation of cinemaphiles.

His last film The Beauty and the Beast released in 2014. In 2018, the death of his producer and faithful friend probably contributed to the parenthesis of some original artistic projects.
A movie and video game bite
Christophe Gans now intends to reconnect with a new adaptation of Silent Hill and « enter into the intimate truth » work! As rumors run over the development of close to three video games Silent HillIn any case, Christophe Gans confirmed that we corresponded with one of the development teams at Konami who was laying on a new opus of the franchise.

No doubt the license has good days ahead of it in the cinema as on consoles. One Silent Hill Can hide another as they say in jargon!
« Silent Hill, it is not only this kind of maze that changes shape, it is also the projection of tortured, tormented minds and sometimes even extremely paradoxic feelings that can be crazy love and violence. »
