Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is an upcoming 3D horror film due to release on October 26, 2012.[3][4] Written and directed by Michael J. Bassett, Revelation 3D is based on the survival horror video game Silent Hill 3 and a sequel to the horror film Silent Hill, which is an adaptation of the video game of the same name.[5] As of February 2, 2012, the final theatrical mix for the film has been completed.[6]

Premise
Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father, Christopher Da Silva (Sean Bean),[7] have been evading for years forces of a nature that she does not fully recognize.

Production
Development
Following the release of the film Silent Hill, Christophe Gans, its director, reported that a sequel “is officially ordered and is already well underway”. However, he then declined to direct a sequel, stating he “had other projects in mind.” Michael J. Bassett then took over writing and directing duties. [13] Silent Hill‘s writer Roger Avary had planned to return to the sequel, before his arrest in 2008 for vehicular manslaughter.[14] Michael J. Bassett later replaced Gans and Avary as writer and director.[5] In 2009, video game artist Masahiro Ito, who participated in the development of multiple installments of the Silent Hill series of video games, was asked to design the creatures and the look of the “Otherworld” dimension featured in the film, but declined the offer because of other obligations.[15] Jeff Danna and Akira Yamaoka will be composing the film’s soundtrack.[1]
Prior to the start of Silent Hill: Revelation 3D‘s filming, Bassett expressed in his official blog his openness to fans’ suggestions of whom to cast as main protagonist Heather Mason, provided that the actress would provide a realistic portrayal of an eighteen-year-old and that she would be “known”, with the existence of a page on her on the website Internet Movie Database also cited as a requirement.[16] Australian actress Adelaide Clemenswas eventually cast in the role.
