Now, for the first time, we have Michael J. Basset speaking about what he plans to bring to the sequel Silent Hill: Revelations. Here is what he told Empire:
“It’s early days, and I’m keeping details of the plot secret for now,” he told us, “but it’s going to be a sequel to the first film whilst trying to remain true to the plot of game 3, and will also work as a stand-alone movie for people who don’t know the series.”
“It was a real challenge writing it,” he tells us, “and I spent a long time revisiting the games and reading just about every little piece of material I could find on the mythology. Of course, my choices may not please everyone, but the ambition is to give the audience a twisted, intense and terrifying experience, following a really interesting story, anchored by a terrific cast giving great performances. It’s more than you get from most horror movies these days, I know, but I figure why not aim high and try to bring a bit of quality back to a genre that’s rarely treated with respect?”
He certainly seems eager and excited to dive into this project. I am still apprehensive though. Very few video game based movies translate well to the big screen, and every other director has had this type of excitement before. I am happy to see that he wants to keep the same look and feel of the first one. I would love to see this film be great. But I will believe it when I see it.
What do you think of this prospect? Did you enjoy the first film? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm very excited for the second one. I LOVED the first movie. I hadn't even heard of the games before I watched the movie at about age 12, and very recently I'm finding ways to play them, even without the correct consoles. (I play at friend's houses) I'm disappointed that we won't have Gans as the director again but I'm hopeful that Basset will deliver a fantastic movie. I know most of the hardcore fans were upset over the first movie, but I think they were just being picky...
