“Revelation” stars Australian actress Adelaide Clemens as Heather Mason, a popular character from the third game, but here that name is the alter-ego for the daughter of Sean Bean’s character from the first movie, as they’ve been traveling around the country trying to stay one step ahead of the agents of Silent Hill, who want to take her back. At Heather’s new school, she meets Vincent, played by Kit Harington, known for playing Jon Snow on “Game of Thrones,” and the two of them find themselves on the run from Silent Hill’s fantastical creatures.
Bassett, who also wrote the script, took lots of stuff from the games, particularly “Silent Hill 3,” which is why we finally get to see Leonard and Claudia Wolf, played by Malcolm McDowell and Carrie-Ann Moss, although in slightly different incarnations.
During the panel at the New York Comic Con this past weekend, Bassett made it clear how much he knew the world of the “Silent Hill” games, having gotten his hands on Konami’s bible for the game franchise, but also having played all the games. Earlier in the day, ShockTillYouDrop.com got to sit down with the filmmakers and in the video interview below, he spoke about:
- How he became involved with making “Silent Hill: Revelation”
- How he re-immersed himself into the world of the games before tackling it
- Deciding on using “Silent Hill 3” as the basis for the movie while tying it into the previous movie
- Designing some of the creatures and choosing the ones to use
- The biggest challenge in terms of bringing some of these creatures to life
- Talking about doing the scene with the Nurses
- Having Malcolm McDowell play Leonard Wolf
- He does his Malcolm McDowell impression for us
- Incorporating some of the visual FX such as creating the ashes
- How he used 3D for the movie
- How loud the movie is
- How he’s enjoyed directing TV recently but hopes to get back to direct some of his own original ideas soon
And More!
