Carrie-Anne Moss and Malcolm McDowell Join Silent Hill: Revelation 3D

Moss and McDowell join rising star Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road), Kit Harington, and returning Silent Hill residents Radha Mitchell, Sean Bean and Deborah Kara Unger.

Hadida said: "Carrie has displayed her enormous talent across all genres – from 'The Matrix' trilogy to 'Memento' – and we are delighted for her to join the world of Silent Hill. She will certainly bring a new level of excitement to fans of the videogame franchise."

Director Michael J. Bassett said: "Malcolm is quite simply an icon of modern cinema and I've been a fan since I was a teenager when I managed to see 'A Clockwork Orange.' He has an amazing ability to bring new and unexpected dimensions to his characters and I know he will bring something unique and disturbing to Silent Hill."

I'm watching this for Kit Harrington alone. What a hottie.

 

[John Harker]

wait - Sean Bean and Radha Mitchell are back? Did I really miss that announcement?

This is def a must-see for me now.

 

[G-Fex]

Oh god...

Heather and a male protagonist with let me guess, a romantic subplot.

Smh

That's an odd thing to say..

1. Money

2. The unique horror of the game is very compelling and should easily translate to a film.

3. They already made one.. Why ask that now? And while there was room for improvement, it wasn't half bad IMO.

1. This is not a good reason.

2. The film wasn't in the slightest bit scary, despite sharing some visuals with the game.

3. The first film was terrible, it just wasn't as bad as most other game movies. But that's like saying you only got showered in dog piss instead of being run over by a manure truck.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Wait, Carrie-Anne Moss and Malcolm McDowell are in this now?

That's actually kind of really awesome. I wonder who they play.

 

[John Harker]

Hmm, I don't come to the OT side enough.

Glad she's back. She's great. Whose playing the other Alissa? I assume she'll be split in two? Heather the girl Sean Bean finds and raises, and the Alissa that was stuck with Rose's character at the end of SH1.

Claudia and Leonard Wolf, respectively.

 

[wwm0nkey]

This movie seems like a decent chunk of actual effort is being put into it, you know unlike the RE movies.

 

[randomwab]

Malcolm McDowell as Douglas Cartland?

 

[brandonh83]

Malcolm McDowell as Douglas Cartland?

Leonard Wolf.

 

[~Kinggi~]

oh hells to the yes we get some Malcolm in here

 

[theinfinityissue]

Claudia and Leonard Wolf, respectively.

What character is that supposed to be next to Heather in the pic you posted?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

What character is that supposed to be next to Heather in the pic you posted?

He's Vincent

 

[Typographenia]

Every new image of the girl playing Heather makes me feel more at ease with this movie. She just really looks the part.

Spoiler

Aside from the lack of tired eyes.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Vincent. I appreciate them doing something different than the game (because who would really want to watch an exact duplicate?), but I'm not wild about the idea of the movie revolving around their interest in one another. I'm crossing my fingers that this isn't the case!

Also, HOLY CRAP! Carrie-Ann Moss and Malcolm McDowell? Let's pray this is awesome.

 

[Prince of Space]

Well, this is starting to sound interesting.

 

[brandonh83]

He's Vincent

Yeah, the director said that he had a new vision of Vincent for the movie, I really loved that character in the game but I think it could work especially if he gives Adelaide someone to act off of better. Hopefully there's some decent chemistry.

While I feel the need to change Vincent into what seems like a completely different character is relatively asinine, I'm sure Bassett has his reasons. Screenwriting is a tricky thing so if he feels like this will serve the film better, whatever. We'll see.

 

[anaron]

After the first film completely bastardized the mythology of the series and successfully prevented further films from adapting the games properly, it doesn't especially bother me with changing characters around now.

(surprisingly) Great casting news otherwise. Kinda looking forward to this now for the cast alone. D:

 

[Blablurn]

i'm so hyped for this one. please dont be garbage in the end

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

FUUUUCCK those people.......... will still watch it though

 

[Ether_Snake]

I really wish it went for the girl-all-alone kinda thing, but it won't

The first was still fine on its own, but it missed the chance it had of being actually scary. It should have been all about making you feel like you were all alone, yourself, in Silent Hill. THAT is what would make it scary.

 

[faceless007]

This is interesting. Apparently it's a concept trailer made a year ago by the production company to gauge fan reaction? Different actress for Heather but it might be a clue to what the final thing will look like.

 

[OmniOne]

This is from the movie "They" by Wes Craven.

 

[faceless007]

Well damn. They sure did a good job. Subway sure reminded me of the game.

 

[brandonh83]

Tons more photos here, including a familiar cuddly little purple bunny

 

[badcrumble]

I suppose the main thing to be glad about is that they're not going to make a Silent Hill 2 movie.

As before, this looks quite visually sound when it comes to the production design. As before, it's not the production design that I'm worried about, but the script and the directorial choices.

 

[Fafalada]

The absolutely low 29% tomatoe rating dies NOT reflect the actual quality of this film.

As far as I'm concerned Tomato ratings are meaningless if stuff like SocialNetwork can get rated above 50 (let alone the high 90s it got in the end).
That, or they are highly optimized for a certain audience, which again, makes them meaningless as a supposed "neutral" rating they are meant to represent.

But I agree SH was a decent movie, game adaption or not.

 

[Melchiah]

Not really satisfied with the first revealed monster.

Seems too much like it had been taken from the later western Silent Hill games.

 

[Blablurn]

will look better in motion

 

[KAOz]

Not really satisfied with the first revealed monster.

Reminds me a bit too much of The Janitor from the first movie.

Now, that monster in the picture would be cool as only a little background thing, a body. Like the deformed bodies you can find in the games.

But as a monster, naaaaaaaaah.

 

[brandonh83]

Oh, you guys. It's a set photo of a creature. How the fuck can you possibly know what it's going to look like on film? Movement and sound effects can add a great deal to things, you know.

And it might just be a background thing. Who knows. However we should be happy that the director wants to make the creatures practical and not CG.

 

[LuFel]

please more P.head battles in the movie...

 

[brandonh83]

I'm really not worried about production design at this point; I just hope they can improve chiefly upon the awful dialogue of the first film.

Yeah, as great as everything looks, the tables could quickly turn as soon as we start getting trailers and clips. I'm optimistic, but at the same time trying not to get too excited.

 

[Lime]

please more P.head battles in the movie...

Didn't you get the memo?

 

[KAOz]

please more P.head battles in the movie...

No thanks.

We need more Valtiel though. LOADS of Valtiel!

Also, interesting that the "monster" looks pregnant. Hint towards the whole ending bit of SH3? Heathers subconcious projecting all that onto the monsters here?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

I'm actually starting to get really excited for this movie.

 

[Melchiah]

Oh, you guys. It's a set photo of a creature. How the fuck can you possibly know what it's going to look like on film? Movement and sound effects can add a great deal to things, you know.

Still, it looks too much like Hellraiser to me. There isn't anything of the usual Silent Hill's bizarre physical attributes there.

 

[brandonh83]

Oh my god

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Oh my god

Cool

 

[Margalis]

I thought the first film was pretty good and very good for a video game movie.

 

[brandonh83]

Seriously, fucking mad props to the production team here. This is some extremely fantastic work they're doing.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Creepy as shit, dude.

Creepy. I like the attention to detail.

 

[yencid]

love it

 

[TheVampire]

we need some comparsion pics from SH3

 

[How About No]

fuck yeah

 

[brandonh83]

In the amusement park video, you can hear a siren right before all the lights go off and the rides stop moving.

Please don't suck. Please don't suck.

 

[Lime]

I sincerely hope the lighting and camera filters will be up to the standards of usual Silent Hill aesthetics. The set pictures are obviously very clean and so on, so I just wish the director will be able to convey that sense of dirty ugliness.
