It’s been about five years since the first Silent Hill movie hit theaters and the $50 million project netted just under $100 million theatrically, while also making a few bucks through other revenue streams as well. The franchise potential seemed pretty dead since it was considered a dud by not even crossing the $100 million mark, but some things just don’t stay dead as a new press release and photo have surfaced for the next installment that started shooting in Toronto this week helmed by Michael J. Bassett.
The producers announced that Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins : Wolverine, Vampire, Camilla Dickinson, Wasted on the Young, next starring in Mad Max: Fury Road) and Kit Harington (HBO’s upcoming series Game of Thrones) will top-line Silent Hill: Revelation 3D.
Davis Films producer Samuel Hadida said: “We are all excited to have the Silent Hill team reunited in Toronto. With Michael at the helm, we will be building on the first film and taking Silent Hill into new territory with an exciting storyline and visuals that should grab both new audiences and fans of the Silent Hill franchise.”
Producer Don Carmody added: “Adelaide is breaking out of the indie world with commercial features such as X-Men and the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road. She and Kit are emerging young talent and their chemistry and dynamics make them a brilliant addition to the Silent Hill team.”
