Bassett's Bad with Silent Hill: Revelation 3D and Solomon Kane this Fall!

With a name like Michael J. Bassett behind the making and writing of Silent Hill: Revelation (SHR), the 3D may not be necessary at all. This talented director also finally gets his 2009 product, Solomon Kane, released to a North American market. With two movies to showcase his talent within four weeks of each other, hopefully Hollywood will do more than take notice. They can recruit him to do more work on this side of the pond.

The trailer to SHR shows that Bassett tapped into the same visual palette that made the first film great. The Asian style motifs are even more apparent with the long haired young girl with soulless eyes. The fluttering of black wings in the background is a staple and hopefully that does not mean that Bassett is losing his touch. In between his two movies, he worked as a director in the television show, "Strike Back," and he updates his fans about his works with his blog.

He even sought advice from his readers about who to cast, and settled on Adelaide Clemans to play Heather Mason, the lead character in this sequel. She seems to lead a normal life for a time, but when her father Chris (Sean Bean) gets kidnapped, she has to go to Silent Hill to face the terrors that this Otherworld represents. That also includes two notable appearances, namely Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange) and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) as Leonard and Claudia Wolf, which can potentially be very exciting.

For fans of this series who loved the games or the original movie for its eerie atmosphere, the teaser segment certainly shows that the zombie nurses are back. Much like a certain "Doctor Who" episode, as long as the victims do not blink, they can remain safe. Do it too much, their fate may well be sealed…
