In 2006, we saw the first big screen adaptation of the popular video game franchise Silent Hill, directed by Christophe Gans. The film was a mediocre box office success earning around $100 million dollars. Now, four years later the sequel is moving forward.

Shock Till You Drop reports:

"Still on the American Film Market news beat, Shock has learned that Michael J. Bassett is sitting in the director's chair on Silent Hill 2."

Basset is best known for directing Solomon Kane and Death Watch



The site also reports that the official title for the sequel is Silent Hill: Revelations and that it will be in 3D.

And finally, here is the short plot synopsis:

It focuses on a protagonist named Heather Mason who, on the eve of her 18th birthday, is plagued by nightmares and now has to investigate the disappearance of her father.

what Resident Evil didn't get right, they sacrificed the creepiness for action... the first Silent Hill was very creepy and I hope this new director takes notes from his predecessor

I hated Silent Hill: The Room. Loved the first movie tho. The music set the mood for me.

I liked the first Silent Hill movie, I'm just hoping they make this one much darker and more freaky. I didn't really feel scared or freaked. Paranormal Activity was creepier...

So as long as they darken it up into something more akin to an R rated horror flic I'd be pretty happy, but I guess we'll see how spooky they'll push it.

Like Mr Josh said, they killed the creep factor in Resident Evil (1st game was really freaky) and upped it into now some crazy sci-fi action flic... bad call...

Well they probably won't be filming in Brantford, Ontario like they did for the first one. They demolished three blocks of the old derelict buildings that made it so appealing to film the first time!

i just hope they stay true to the video game's creepy enemy characters like the last movie.

hell yeahh! the first movie was good as crazy, damn i like that movie so much, and yeah is way better than R. Evil plus eight. like jovovich but thats movies should been named different, some like "Zombies Apocalypse" or something like that, imo, lol. and they need to make an Resident E. movie just like the game.

I can't wait for this movie, the first one resembled the game so well, like when they had her go through the ally from the game and used the same camera position that it does in the game.... so good.

I never played Silent Hill for some reason, now I'm feeling like I missed out.

I will say though that I watched the movie out of sheer curiousity. I was very, very impressed. I was shocked to figure out that it was not well received.
I loved that movie. I was like, what the freaking devil is wrong with these people.

@Ship I second that. The Resident Evil movies are interesting, but nothing like the games. Resident Evil 5 was cinematic enough to be a movie though lol

I like the original game only, Silent Hill, and not the sequels. I like the movie, too bad it didn't do good on the BO. Looking forward to this.

Good find, Wolvie!

Heather Mason ? So now everyone who played Silent Hill 1 & 3, and watched the movie, is scratching heads and wondering "how the hell they want to put this one off ?". I suspect A LOT of plot holes.

god I hated the first, I wanted to see Harry Mason on the movie just like in the game and they came up with a woman never seen before in the games, ugh. That plot to the sequel looks pretty horrible.
