Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is an upcoming American 3D horror film due to release on October 26, 2012.[3][4] Written and directed by Michael J. Bassett, Revelation 3D is based on the survival horror video game Silent Hill 3 and a sequel to the horror film Silent Hill, which is an adaptation of the video game of the same name.[5] As of February 2, 2012, the final theatrical mix for the film has been completed.[6]

Revelation 3D's plot follows teenager Heather Mason, who discovers, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, that her presumed identity is false and, as a result, is drawn to an alternate dimension existing in the fictional American town of Silent Hill.[5]

Premise

Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father, Christopher Da Silva (Sean Bean),[7] have been evading for years forces of a nature that she does not fully recognize. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, plagued by nightmares and Christopher's disappearance, she discovers that her presumed identity is false[5] and her life's origins too.[8] This revelation leads her to an alternate dimension existing in Silent Hill,[5] over which a cult led by Claudia Wolf (Carrie-Anne Moss) and the insane Leonard Wolf (Malcolm McDowell) holds power.[9][7] Heather is accompanied by a man named Vincent (Kit Harington), a man named Harry (portrayed by an unknown actor), and Rose Da Silva (Radha Mitchell).[10] Character Dahlia Gillespie (Deborah Kara Unger) from the first Silent Hill film adaptation will also appear in the film.[10]

Development

Following the release of the film Silent Hill, Christophe Gans, its director, reported that a sequel "is officially ordered and is already well underway". However, he then declined to direct a sequel, stating he "had other projects in mind." Rumors circulated he might return, but turned out to only be a rumor when Michael J. Bassett took over directing. [12] Silent Hill's writer Roger Avary had planned to return to the sequel, before his arrest in 2008 for vehicular manslaughter.[13] Michael J. Bassett later replaced Gans and Avary as writer and director.[5] In 2009, video game artist Masahiro Ito, who participated in the development of multiple installments of the Silent Hill series of video games, was asked to design the creatures and the look of the "Otherworld" dimension featured in the film, but declined the offer because of other obligations, which turned out to be working on designs for future silent hill games.[14] Jeff Danna and Akira Yamaoka will be composing the film's soundtrack.[2]

Prior to the start of Silent Hill: Revelation 3D's filming, Bassett expressed in his official blog his openness to fans' suggestions of whom to cast as main protagonist Heather Mason, provided that the actress can provide a realistic portrayal of an eighteen-year-old and has appeared in other films.[15] It was eventually decided that Australian actress Adelaide Clemens would play the role.

Filming

Principal photography began in Toronto, Canada on March 7, 2011[16] and wrapped in May 2011,[16][17] with the 3D RED Epic camera used for the process.[18] Street and bridge scenes were shot in Galt from March 21 to March 26[19] and scenes set at Silent Hill's Lakeside Amusement Park were filmed at the Cherry Beach park on April 7, 2011.[20]

Release

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will be released by Open Road Films on October 26, 2012.[21]
