The sequel to the videogame adaptation gets the greenlight. And Silent Hill 2 recruits the director of Solomon Kane to bring it to the big screen…
The first attempt to bring Silent Hill to the big screen didn't, in the eyes of many, come close to breaking the curse of the movie-based-on-videogame. But it did, to be fair, have quite a good go. It also did enough business to inspire chatter of a sequel, and finally, it seems, the greenlight has been given.
Over at Bloody Disgusting, it's been revealed that the new film will be called Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, and from that title, you can work out too that it will, indeed, by made in 3D. That's for definite.
Also, Michael J Bassett has signed up to write and direct the film. Bassett was the man who brought the really quite impressive take on Solomon Kane to the big screen. And from where we're sitting, he sounds a fine choice.
