SH3 could be adapted to Silent Hill Movie though, that's if this isnt a reboot

Anywho:

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.

Whoa!

[Scarlett.]

The writer/director just tweeted this

Looking forward to this!

[Scarlett.]

Me too, such a good time for Silent Hill fans lol what with Silent Hill Revelations and Silent Hill: Downpour being made

[GypsyGoth]

I love the first movie! It is one of my fave horrors.

I never got around to playing the games yet. I went in last year to get one for the wii, but the store didn't have any so I got a resident evil one instead, and I only played that once because it's a bit jumpy.

[Scarlett.]

The games are so much better than the movie, this second one looks interesting

SHR will be based on SH3, so to get a taster, watch this, no spoilers...xD

From MJB the writer/director

Happy New Year to you all.

Thought I’d just throw a new page up just to stop the talkbacks getting so cluttered.

The new year brings positive developments but nothing I can announce or really talk about yet. I’ve moved back to Toronto for the foreseeable future and we’ve got a production office up and running, so I’m pretty confident that this movie is going to get made. The script is in rocking good shape but there are always improvements and adjustments to be made, so I fully expect it to be a moveable feast all the way through to, well, basically delivery. To my mind editing is really the final draft of the screenplay so, as the writer as well as director, I keep that in mind as we go along. I’ve thrown down some huge challenges for the team and expect them to rise to every one.

No casting to announce yet. But I have to say here, please don’t post asking to be in the movie. I’m just not going to cast you unless you’ve got some kind of representation and experience. If that means I’m going to miss out on someone who would be genius and perfect then I’ll take that hit. Sorry.

So the team is pretty much in place. There are still some exciting creative choices to be made as well as hard decisions on how to deliver an extraordinary movie on the resources I’ve been given but that’s the job and I love every moment of it.

The director/writer tweeted this today

"Location scouting in the deep dark bowels of an old prison and psychiatric hospital. Dripping in atmosphere."

Sounds like it's gearing toward production

[Scarlett.]

Start date for shooting revealed here

[Scarlett.]

Heather Mason has finally been cast, she can't be revealed yet as revealed in Michael J. Bassett's new blog post
http://michaeljbassett.wordpress.com...pdate-4th-feb/

Here's Heather as she was seen in the games


I woner who will play her? A known actor, or an unknown?

[Scarlett.]

Filming is begining this week

[Scarlett.]

Just a week until principal photography starts. Every day is a relentless stream of meetings, decisions and final choices. Leading actors are now on the ground and it’s pretty fabulous to be able to finally talk through character and performance in detail. The minutia of hair and makeup are being poured over. Monsters are slowly being finished and are looking amazing. Camera tests are well underway and the art department is working overtime to get everything ready. In short we’re all wishing there were more hours in the day but everyone seems to be giving it everything they’ve got.

w00t

[Blink_Me]

According to Bassett, we'll know the cast by Monday, and he'll post a picture from the set.

[Scarlett.]

Awesome can't wait to see who is playing Heather

[Scarlett.]

MJB has now arrived at the studios and filming has begun

A few questions arise

What happened to Rose, did she escape the fog world?
Did Alessa really merge back into Cheryl and did she escape the fog?
Did Chris go back to Silent Hill to find Rose?

[Scarlett.]

Meet Miss Heather Mason!


Compare her to the game version


I already <3 her

RISING STARS ADELAIDE CLEMENS & KIT HARINGTON TO TOPLINE SAMUEL HADIDA & DON CARMODY’S SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D

FILM BASED ON THE BEST SELLING KONAMI VIDEOGAME FRANCHISE TO BEGIN LENSING ON MARCH 7 IN TORONTO

Toronto, Canada – March 7, 2011: Davis Films producer Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody announced today that rising star Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins : Wolverine, Vampire, Camilla Dickinson, Wasted on the Young, next starring in Mad Max: Fury Road) and Kit Harington (HBO’s upcoming series Game of Thrones) will top-line Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. The film begins lensing in Toronto on March 7th and is directed by Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane, Deathwatch). Alliance Films will distribute in Canada. International sales are being handled by Lionsgate.

Hadida and Carmody most recently produced Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, and Wentworth Miller. Past collaborations include Resident Evil: Apocalypse and the earlier Silent Hill.

Hadida said: “We are all excited to have the Silent Hill team reunited in Toronto. With Michael at the helm, we will be building on the first film and taking Silent Hill into new territory with an exciting storyline and visuals that should grab both new audiences and fans of the Silent Hill franchise.”

Carmody added: “Adelaide is breaking out of the indie world with commercial features such as X-Men and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road. She and Kit are emerging young talent and their chemistry and dynamics make them a brilliant addition to the Silent Hill team.”

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.

So Sean Bean might be playing Harry Mason? Good news, because he'll be a good Harry.

[Scarlett.]

I hope Sean Bean does return, apparently Kit might be playing Vincent

[Iceman]

She looks great in the role, perfect casting of her.

[Scarlett.]

A side by side comparison


A hint, if this follows Silent Hill 3's story, Heather isn't a completely new character

[Scarlett.]

Apparently MJB is looking to bridge the gap between the games and film's mythology a little, I hope The Order is introduced

[Novo]

She looks like her a lot as well

[Scarlett.]

Aye, they did really well to find someone who looks like Heather, I wonder if her outfit will be the same as the game one?

Here's the other casting (obviously not from on-set like the Heather one)
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3764683776/nm3229685
I'd say he's playing Vincent
