Michael J. Bassett to Helm Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

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.

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!”
