Last year Alex Slevin of FoG Films tried to crowdfund his fan film, From the Lost Days – Silent Hill 15th Anniversary Film, a live action feature film that adapted both the Silent Hill & Silent Hill 3 video games through Kickstarter. Unfortunately the project wasn’t funded back then but thankfully the team is trying again on Indieogogo!
Fans may remember FoG Film’s first foray in the Silent Hill fan film territory with their adaption of Silent Hill 2, Broken Notes, back in 2008. Like Broken Notes, From the Lost Days will be shot in Spanish but will be subtitled in English with more language subtitles options hopefully in the future.
The campaign has 20 days left to reach their goal of €2,500 EUR. If the project reaches its crowdfunding goal filming will begin next month in various locations in the Alicante province of Spain, with a tentative release sometime in the first quarter of 2016.
From interview with Alex last year and seeing the cast, location photos and pre production artwork on the Facebook and Indiegogo page I am really excited to see Lost Days happen! The first game is my favorite in the series so it will be a real treat to see a more faithful film adaptation.
