Update: ‘Silent Hill: Revelations 3D’ Begins Casting, First Image!!
Update: After we broke the news an official press release was rushed out adding that Kit Harington (Game of Thrones) has also officially joined the cast. Check out the first ever image inside!
Bloody Disgusting got the exclusive tip on the first ever potential casting for Lionsgate’s Silent Hill: Revelations 3D, which began lensing in Toronto today!
We can exclusively reveal that an offer is out to Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Vampire) has signed on as “Heather” and that Sean Bean (Black Death, Silent Hill) is now in negotiations to return to the franchise as “Harry”! I haven’t played all of the “Silent Hill” games (nor do I remember the first film all that well), so I’m not exactly sure how he’d return. He starred as Christopher Da Silva in the 2006 adaptation.
The Michael J. Bassett-directed (Solomon Kane, Deathwatch) Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, based on the acclaimed survival horror video game franchise by Konomi, is a sequel to Hadida and Carmody’s earlier collaboration, Christophe Gans’ Silent Hill.
“For years, Heather Mason (Clemmons) and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand. Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by terrifying nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her in Silent Hill forever.“Pictured: Adelaide Clemens
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
