Last week we were given the sad news that Michael J Bassett, writer/director of Silent Hill Revelation, was going to shut down his official blog. Well as of yesterday he’s had a change of heart after reading “generous comments everyone left” and was surprised so many people actually “gave a damn.”
In Bassett’s final blog post of 2011 he also revealed that the visual effects for the film are near completion and within the next few days he will hand over the final movie to the “powers that be” and that it’s “up to them to decide what happens to it.” He also mentioned that the score for the film is coming along nicely and that he’s even working on a teaser trailer for the film…but has been distracted as of late by playing Skyrim:
Jeff and Akira have been working all through the holidays to get stuff together for when our final mix begins in a week or so’s time. It sounds terrific so far. All new stuff but with lots of cool themes and ideas from Akira’s previous work. We’re up against a deadline here and it needed to be approved so it can go an be orchestrated and prepared. No rest for the wicked. I was also toying with some footage, trying to cut a short tease trailer that I liked but never did quite finish it. Partly that’s because of…
…Skyrim. I’ve spent waaay too much time in my new gaming chair and hunting dragons. Blame Bethesda, I say.
I’m really excited to see the teaser he’s working on and I’m super happy he’s decided to keep the blog going! I have high hopes for the movie score especially since it will be using themes and ideas from Akira’s previous work. Here’s hoping it will be reminiscent of the original Silent Hill 3 soundtrack!
