Adelaide Clements and Kit Harrington will star in the sequel based on the popular video game of the same name. Shooting Silent Hill: Revelation 3D began yesterday in Toronto, helmed by Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane).
Rising star Adelaide Clemens — X-Men Origins : Wolverine, Vampire, Camilla Dickinson, next starring in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Kit Harington is absolutely one of the UK up and coming theatre actors, and his role of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones definitely launches him for a strong move into TV and film.
Davis Films producer Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody, that announced lensing of this sequel, most recently produced Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, and Wentworth Miller. Past teamwork includes Resident Evil: Apocalypse and “Silent Hill.”
Synopsis: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is based on the acclaimed survival horror videogame franchise by KONAMI and is the sequel to Hadida and Carmody’s earlier Silent Hill directed by Christophe Gans. For years, Heather Mason (Clemens) 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.
Since the first “Silent Hill” film mislaid some of the characters from the first game that would directly influence on this movie, “Silent Hill: Revelation 3D” seems like a stand-alone story with it’s own cast of characters, set in a troubled town of Silent Hill, rather than a direct sequel. Besides, SH3 is a big Japanese coming of age story, so Heather needs a lot of character development. If Bassett just pulls a young girl in distress from monsters, Heather will come off as possible.
What do you think of the cast pick?
Awesome news! Personally I found Silent Hill 3 to be the best of all the games (so far). I am looking forward to seeing an adaption with the Heather storyline. Plus, I hope the Red Pyramid makes another appearance.
