RESIDENT EVIL: AFTERLIFE 3D Producers Re-Teaming for SILENT HILL: REVELATION 3D

The producing team that helped bring audiences Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D are revisiting another video game franchise.  According to a press release we received today, Samuel Hadida and Don Carmody will produce Silent Hill: Revelation 3D from a script by writer/director Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane).  Per the release, the film is currently in pre-production with filming to begin in the Toronto area this winter.

Hadida and Carmody also co-produced 2006′s Silent Hill starring Radha Mitchell.  As a fan of Konami’s franchise (Note: I still refuse to play the first two installments without every light in the house on), I was in the theater during that film’s opening weekend.  Though I found it visually appealing, in my opinion, Christophe Gans’ take lacked the scares, moodiness, and overall engaging storyline presented in the games.  Nevertheless, with that memory now four years behind me, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t interested in seeing how Revelation shapes up.  For more info on Silent Hill‘s newest silver screen iteration, hit the jump for the full press release which just so happens to include some basic plot info on the film as well as quotes from Hadida and Carmody.

Cut to today.

A few days ago I spoke to De Luca for almost an hour about a variety of subjects, one of which was Metal Gear Solid.  According to De Luca, the Metal Gear Solid movie is no longer happening.  He explains why after the jump:
