Sounds like they're kinda disregarding the first film and following Silent Hill 3's story!

Konami's first crack at a Silent Hill film arrived in April 2006, and while it received a critical drubbing, its opening box office haul of $20 million wasn't too shabby. By the end of that year, director Christophe Gans and writer Roger Avary had indicated that a sequel would shortly follow, with Sandman graphic novel scribe Neil Gaiman also attached to the project. However, following that initial since then, little has been heard about the film.

Some four years on, it would appear as if the Silent Hill sequel remains in development. Reporting from the American Film Market conference, Fangoria relays that the film has been given an official title, Silent Hill: Revelation, and will be filmed in 3D. It is currently in preproduction at Lionsgate, Konami, and Davis Films, with Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody filling producer roles.

Heather Mason will star in Silent Hill: Revelation.

Gans and Avary have also apparently been replaced as director and writer. (Notably, Avary was arrested in 2008 related to a fatal car wreck.) the latter likely due to his 2008 vehicular manslaughter charge, for which he served time. Instead, Lionsgate and Konami have reportedly tapped Michael J. Bassett to write and direct. Bassett's previous directorial credits include 2002's World War I-set horror film Deathwatch and Robert E. Howard's action antihero Solomon Kane.

Fangoria also offered the first plot description for Revelation, one that indicates the film will follow the course of 2003's Silent Hill 3.

"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," the synopsis reads. "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."

No, they bastardised SH1, now they're making up for the mistakes, by making a film about HEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i dont know who heather is

i remember bits of shattered memories from the film like cybil but in shattered memories she was like uber slutty

that game was a total head**** actually i didnt get it at all i it though

[Scarlett.]

Spoiler:

The whole game was basically about Cheryl's memory of Harry as a perfect dad, but as the game went on, it all went wrong, the real Harry was a loser lol) the older SH's are a lot more confusing

This is Heather



A female video character who had more to her than looks

[Tom4784]

I was hoping for a film based on Silent Hill 2 really, That's my favourite SH ever.

Dahlia in SH1


The first four games are a lot more trippy (but very good and ****ing terrifying)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

silent hill 2 is supposed to be the scariest game ever made i watched this top 10 thing on youtube and SH2 was number 1 and they showed a clip of that pyramid guy raping a shop dummy thing

[Scarlett.]

Aye, that game terrified me for months, a very good game though, packed with symbolism

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

imma buy homecoming when i get an xbox i seen a bit of that too like some doll turning giant and shizz

[Scarlett.]

Homecoming is something of a black sheep to the series, as it was made by Americans, not by Japanise (SH1-4) or British (0rigins, Shattered Memories) saying that, the story is very good and its an enjoyable game

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i wanna play the old ones

maybe they will like remake them or something :/

[Scarlett.]

They're probably best untouched, but it would be nice to have them added to Xbox Live and PSN

PS my avatar is from Silent Hill 3 xD

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i might just buy a ps2 off ebay just to play that game i want it

[Scarlett.]

I'd recommend playing them

Anyway I'm off to bed lol, night

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

mkay i just realised you can get them on xbox im so stupid

Same

Looking forward to the film, loved the first movie

[Scarlett.]

Apparently the fully official announcement is happening soon

[Blink_Me]

They should have based it on the second Silent Hill 2 game; although, I think Silent Hill 4 could work well as a movie, even if it's not the best Silent Hill.

[Scarlett.]

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.
