Details slipped a few days ago that the sequel to Silent Hill was finally moving forward with a director. Today, Shock has received an official press release with more details on Silent Hill: Revelation 3D.
Fresh off their $270M+ box office sensation Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, producers Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody have re-teamed to create Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, which is currently in pre-production. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will also reunite Davis Films producer Hadida with Michael J. Bassett (Deathwatch, Solomon Kane), who will direct the 3D film on location this winter in the Toronto area. International sales are being handled by Lionsgate at the upcoming AFM.
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, based on the acclaimed survival horror videogame franchise by KONAMI , is a sequel to Hadida and Carmody’s earlier collaboration, Christophe Gans’ Silent Hill. For years, Heather Mason and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.
Hadida said: “We have high expectations for this continuation of the franchise with our reunited Silent Hill production team. Michael was our natural choice to write and direct. He understands the genre, is passionate about the Silent Hill franchise, and will bring his considerable action picture skills to a fresh and thrilling insight of the Silent Hill 3D world.”
Hadida noted further, “We are especially excited about our renewed collaboration with KONAMI. KONAMI’S sustained success with the seven video games published to date is unique testament to the ongoing appeal of this property”.
Carmody added: “Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D, Paranormal Activity 2, and Saw 3D show that global audiences have a continued thirst for the horror action genre. Silent Hill, like Resident Evil before it, is a beloved videogame, now becomes a successful film franchise that both encompasses and transcends the game world.”
“We are pleased to partner with Samuel and Don again to bring a new Silent Hill experience to the silver screen.” Said Careen Yapp, Vice President of KONAMI . Just as the franchise has evolved, we’re confident Silent Hill Revelation 3D will bring a new Silent Hill story that is both frightening and engaging. Their sensitivity to our loyal, avid, global community of fans will make for an amazing 3D experience!”
Hadida and Carmody most recently produced Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, and Wentworth Miller. Past collaborations include Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
Robert E. Howard’s Solomon Kane marked screenwriter and director Michael J. Bassett’s last feature film. He made his debut with Deathwatch, an atmospheric horror movie set in the trenches of World War I which starred Jamie Bell and Andy Serkis.
I don't think the first film is perfect by any means, but I did love it. This quote: "He understands the genre, is passionate about the Silent Hill franchise, and will bring his considerable action picture skills to a fresh and thrilling insight of the Silent Hill 3D world." really disturbs me...

That looks kind of crappy. Silent Hill needs to look dark, creepy and be raw, not polished with a bunch of CGI. I don't get why these directors who work on these video games don't get it. Play the game and its pretty much designed for you already.
They're journeyman directors hired to make a movie about a video game, they're as passionate about the work as your local cable guy coming in to install some wires.

Shock: Can you give us an approximate breakdown of the practical versus digital effects?
Bassett: I can give you a very accurate breakdown. There’s only one digital monster. We couldn’t do it any other way. The creature is very cool. It’s the one we just showed at Comic-Con. It’s called the mannequin monster. It’s made up of mannequin body parts that come alive. It’s a big spidery creature with arms and legs all over the place. It was just too hard to deliver it practically, especially on the schedule we had. Everything else is real. There is a little bit of digital enhancement here and there. It’s people in costumes and makeup. I like that. When she goes in to Silent Hill there is fog and ash. The ash falling is digital. We weren’t able to do it any other way. This is a practical movie.
fooled you.
now shut up and enjoy.
Theres nothing practical about the fx behind the white creepy girl and all the other shots going on in the background. And having big breasted nurses makes them less scary. If some were morbidly obese and anorexic, that would amp up the scary factor.
It looks like the Resident Evil movies, too vivid and fast paced. A good Silent Hill movie needs to be something slow, intimate and claustrophobic almost.
The Mist is a better silent hill movie than this.
