Filming of the new Silent Hill movie, entitled Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, has begun in Toronto, Canada.
Konami reports that "much of" the original team that was behind the first film, which captured the visual authenticity of the game series it was based on, are returning for the sequel. However, Christopher Gans will not be returning as director - that role is being filled by Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane, Deathwatch).
The film is believed to be set some years after the first, and based around the character of Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3 (Heather was the daughter of Silent Hill's original lead Harry). It'll feature Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and Kit Harington (Game of Thrones).
"We are all excited to have the Silent Hill team reunited in Toronto for the sequel to one of the best horror franchises of all time," said Producer Samuel Hadida of Davis Films. "With Michael at the directing helm, we will be building on the first film and taking the Silent Hill story into new territories with exciting storylines and visuals that will grab both new audiences, and those familiar with the Silent Hill franchise."
