The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus, who would have been the star in Konami's now-canceled Silent Hills , recently spoke to IGN about his faith in a future collaboration between him and P.T. creators Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.

"I'm super bummed that that happened back in Japan," Reedus said of Silent Hills ' cancellation, "but I have faith. I have faith that we, the three of us, can do something else."Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro had similar laments about Silent Hills , especially over the loss of what he calls some great and "very new" ideas. Reedus matched del Toro's praise for the creative force behind Silent Hills, calling him and Kojima "geniuses.""There were so many ideas and cool future happenings that were thrown around," Reedus told IGN, "I just can't see us not picking this up somewhere."Reedus also spoke about being blown away by the fan reception: "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. 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.'"As for what actually exists of the mysterious Silent Hills, Reedus isn't sure."We did some of that photography with a thousand cameras pointing at you in a million different directions," he said. "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."Even though Kojima and del Toro have spoken about collaborating again in the future, the chance of an actual Silent Hills revival is unclear. Still, Reedus has faith."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."
