Director/Writer of Silent Hill: Revelations 3D, Michael J. Basset is asking for the fans assistance in choosing an actress to play the character of Heather.
Clearly this is a crucial decision and one that I’m not going to make lightly as I need a real performance at the heart of this story. However, I am interested in who you guys and girls might see in the role and since I’m only just starting that process now, I’m not averse to seeing some suggestions.
Basset also posted a list of rules to suggesting an actress:
1) Has to be a known actress with existing credits.
2) Has to be able to realistically play 18 years old. You all know how the character is supposed to look. I’m not slavishly going to be led by the pixels but it’s a good starting point. Talent is more important.
3) Just the name. No long explanations or rationalizations. Just the name. You can include the link to their IMDB page. If they haven’t got an IMDB page then they’re not a candidate.
4) I’m not going to get into any response or comments about the ideas but I will look at everyone. Deviations from the above will be deleted.
Silent Hill: Revelations 3D has no official release date or cast members but with production starting in spring news can be expected soon. Here is a plot summary for the movie:
