There have been a slew of rumors on the IMDB forums that Lionsgate will be releasing the Michael J. Bassett-directed
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D on October 5, replacing the recently bumped
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D. While this may have been
discussed internally, we already have debunked that rumor with the Lionsgate marketing department -- hence the reason it was never reported here on the site.
Bassett has been very chatty on his
official blog, even taking time to respond to reader questions. Someone asked about the delayed sequel. His response: "
Oh yes, I have lots of pictures, interviews, trailers, even a finished movie
But the people who have invested their money in making this film have chosen, rightly or wrongly, to hold back the release of anything until they have a release schedule for the film theyre happy with. It is their choice and even as its frustrating as hell for me, I respect that this is how they wish to play it."
From this writer's perspective, holding content until a release is solidified is
smart. There's no reason to blow your wad early, especially when it could be years before the film eventually hits theaters. We're all dying to see some new
Silent Hill content, hopefully it'll come sooner than later.
