Michael Bassett Director of Silent Hill Revelation has updated his blog and discusses how filming went this past week in Galt, Cambridge Ontario.
He was a little bummed about the weather delaying the shooting but is pleased with what his got so far. As for all the set pictures popping up on the internet he said security was pretty much no existent so he wasn’t surprised. It’s a little annoying but he’s not too worried since people are seeing things out of context.
The big news is that Deborah Kara Unger is returning as Dahlia and Kit Harington is Vincent IS the Vincent we know and love from Silent Hill 3. Bassett had this to say about Kit playing Vincent:
As for Kit Harington as Vincent. Well, I knew that would get you all fired up. I’ve never made any secret that this is going to be an adaptation of the game and not a slavish reproduction. So for me I can say that I always found Vincent in the game a fascinating but ultimately redundant character. He’ seemed to me to have no purpose in the narrative other than to offer a counterpoint view of what the Order/Claudia are doing. He is, if you like, the acceptable face of the zealots. His ideas and dialogue are interesting and I wanted to preserve some of that but I also wanted to use him in a more dynamic and interesting way for the film narrative. How it plays out in the movie, you’re simply going to have to wait and see but I don’t think it’s going to be exactly what any of you think. (or maybe it is. I don’t know.) Will some of you hate it? Absolutely. Because it is different. But will others maybe think it’s a neat twist on what you would expect? I hope that too.
I definitely interested to see what this new and younger Father Vincent will bring to the movie. How about you guys?
