In an interview with Ain't It Cool News, Silver revealed that Ritchie would direct Sgt. Rock "very soon".
"I'm going to make that. I'm going to make that very soon. With Guy Ritchie, I think," Silver said.
However, the producer noted that developing big budget movies can be troublesome, citing the involvement of Julien Temple and J.J. Abrams in aborted Speed Racer projects as an example.
"I hope [that Sgt. Rock will get made]. I remember at one point it got close. I mean, there were a lot of people attached to Speed Racer. They never got that close," he said.
The Sgt. Rock character, created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert in 1959, led a fictional World War II US Army infantry called Easy Company in various DC Comics publications.
Guy Ritchie's next film RocknRolla, which Silver is also producing, will be released in the UK on September 19.
