Silent Hill: Revelation; the upcoming sequel to the 2006 video-game horror/thriller Silent Hill; is currently being filmed in Toronto, with Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) playing the movie’s heroine; who enters a disturbing alternate reality; coming face-to-face with Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) and Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange); who have just been cast as the film’s villains.
Clemens stars as Heather Mason; a young girl who suffers from inexplicable nightmares that inevitably lead her to the ghost town, and alternate reality, of Silent Hill; and will butt heads with Claudia Wolf (Moss); who in the third Silent Hill game was the high priestess of a reality-altering cult; and her evil father Leonard (McDowell), along the road she hopes will lead her back to reality.
Judging from the release of the film’s first official image, and the second photo; which accompanied the news of Radha Mitchell and Sean Bean returning to the franchise, along with Deborah Kara Unger; it appears as though everything is going well, and that director Michael J Bassett (Solomon Kane) is thankfully maintaining the stunning and nightmarish visual style instilled in the first movie by director Christophe Gans.
Bassett is also keen to have McDowell on board as he “know[s] he will bring something unique and disturbing” to the film; which should compliment the work of Moss, whom producer Samuel Hadida said “has displayed her enormous talent across all genres, from The Matrix to Memento” meaning they are “delighted for her to join the world of Silent Hill.”
Despite the fact Sean Bean and Deborah Kara Unger have already finished filming their scenes (as Christopher Da Silva/Harry Mason; Heather’s father; and Dahlia Gillespie), there’s still a fair way to go before the 3D Silent Hill sequel wraps (on May 6th), and it makes its still unknown release date somewhere down the line.
