Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures kicked off their San Diego Comic-Con presentation today with Seventh Son. Director Sergei Bodrov and stars Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Antje Traue and Kit Harington were on hand to tout their adaptation of the book The Spook’s Apprentice by Joseph Delaney.

Kit Harington, Cate Blanchett Join Dragon 2

It was all about How to Train Your Dragon 2, Peabody & Sherman, and Turbo at the Dreamworks Animation Filmmaker Focus panel today at San Diego Comic-Con. Chief creative officer Bill Damaschke and directors David Soren (Turbo), Rob Minkoff (Peabody & Sherman), and Dean DeBlois (How to Train Your Dragon 2) were on hand to talk the crazy world of cartooning.

The biggest news to come out of the panel was that Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington has joined the voice cast of the How to Train Your Dragon sequel, and the actor surprised the fans in attendance when he popped in to talk about the gig. DeBlois described the character — who’s amusingly enough called Eret — as a dragon-trapper who is “very brazen and cocky and has an interesting arc in the story.” A character performance test was also shown featuring Eret, where he proclaims that he is “Eret, son of Eret, of many sons.

In Silent Hill: Revelation, director Michael J. Bassett delivers a direct sequel to the 2006 horror film Silent Hill. Loosely based on the third Silent Hill video game, Revelation centers on Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens), who discovers on her eighteenth birthday that her presumed identity may be false after she’s plagued by horrific nightmares. Soon, the disappearance of Heather’s father (Sean Bean) spurs the teen’s return to the demonic town of Silent Hill, where she and a fellow schoolmate (Kit Harington) must traverse through the terrors within.

In this case, Heather is the audience surrogate, who coincidentally has no memory of what happened to her as a child. As a result, what little story is here gets condensed into longwinded expositional scenes directly explained by various characters. Silent Hill: Revelation is a capital offender against the preferred “show, don’t tell” method of storytelling and more often than not subjects the viewer to confusing and seemingly irrelevant plot.
