After revealing the first image from Michael J. Bassett’s (Solomon Kane) upcoming Silent Hill sequel (which recently began filming) just over a week ago, news has now emerged that two of the main stars from the original movie; Lord of the Rings star Sean Bean, and Man on Fire’s Radha Mitchell; will also be making an appearance in the latest foggy horror/thriller.
Titled Silent Hill: Revelation, the new movie will be a sequel in every sense to the 2006 video-game adaptation; which was met with mixed reviews, but enjoyed by a large number of video game and horror fans; featuring a woman chasing her young adopted daughter into a foggy, desolate, alternate dimension that was fraught with all manner of violent supernatural creatures, and a number of revelations about the girl’s past, and the history of the town.
Headlining the new movie will be Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine); who stars as an 18-year-old girl named Heather Mason (technically 17-year-old as the film takes place on the eve of her 18th birthday), who’s on the run from dangerous forces, plagued by both nightmares and the disappearance of her father, and discovers that not only is she not who she thinks she is, but has a revelation that draws her into the demonic, and likely inescapable, alternate reality of Silent Hill.
Returning to the world of deformed toddlers, religious fanatics, and slutty, stab-happy, nurses Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean will be reprising their roles as Rose and Christopher Da Silva respectively (the woman who chased her daughter around the frightening alternate reality in the first movie, and the husband who was looking for his wife in the real world), and joined once again by Deborah Kara Unger; who played Dahlia Gillespie in the 2006 film.
Director Michael J. Bassett has said that “it wouldn’t be the same without some of the original Silent Hill cast, and Sean, Radha, and Deborah’s return will certainly thrill fans of the franchise, and compliment Revelation stars Adelaide and Kit [Harrington, Game of Thrones]” when Silent Hill: Revelation gets its 3D release, on an as yet unknown date.
