Bringing a little more darkness and fear
Now that Michael Bassett is writing and directing the long-mooted Silent Hill sequel, called Silent Hill: Revelation, fans are eager to see what the Death Watch director is going to bring to the cinematic SH mythos Christophe Gans brought to the screen in 2006.
Bassett took to his blog to explain his intentions:
“I love the games and was a huge admirer of the first film. Especially how Christophe Gans and his team managed to capture the look and feel of the world. I say, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, so I’m bringing back as many of that core creative team as I can â but I’m probably going to bring just a little more darkness and fear into the mix as well. I love the complex mythology and psychological twists that Konami created so will do my best honour that aspect too.
I’m determined to deliver a film that builds on the qualities of the first film and draws on the best aspects of the games whilst giving the audience more nuanced characters, a compelling story and introducing some terrifying new monsters (as well as bringing back a few favorites) and, most important of all⦠just scaring the shit out of everyone.”
Stay tuned for casting news as it comes in!
