    Noooo!!

    Universal's Rogue Pictures has just released a teaser poster for the movie adaptation of the classic Castlevania series, and was put on display at the American Film Market last week. And as you Castlevania-freaks probably know already, the movie will trace back the origin of the struggle between the Belmont clan and Lord Dracula. Slashfilm also reports that the film will actually cover many time periods but the focus will be on 15th century Transylvania.

    Paul W.S. Anderson, who also directed the Resident Evil movie, is slated to direct the US$ 50 million film that is said to still be in pre-production phase, with the producers still scouting for good locations in Hungary and Romania. And because they haven't even started taping yet, the earliest we'd probably get to see the film is spring next year.
    Hes going to mess up another franchise....!!

    I guess it's safe to say this will be cack! Paul 'Wank Stain' Anderson has a regularly seen power in the movies. The negative midas touch. Every screenplay he has ever touched has turned into s**t!

    Right... I really don't feel a Castlevania movie is very necessary. I don't think it could be that great no matter who did it but I know he's going to make it absolutely horrid.

    I don't remember the story having much detail.....I was a youngster so I could be wrong......how could he go wrong when there isn't much of a story there? (And don't shout Resident Evil at me) I know whatever he does will be all action, and I don't remember there really being anything else to the games
    I Corinthians 1:18-31 18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

    IRONY 101: In a video game, the more action the better. In a movie based off the same game, too much action is cheesy.

    There are very few good, quality adaptations of games-to-movies. I'm truly surprised anyone would hold any type of expectations for this type of movie at all...

    in repsonse to deadpunk:
    It's castlevania!!!!! That's how a video game movie works....tons and tons of action w/ just enough story to keep you interested. Resident Evil strayed far from game canon, but it keeps most people interested...It's all action, though....just a bit of story. They f*cked that up It was still fun though. Final Fantasy Spirtits Within????? What was that.....that didn't have anything to do with any of the games other than materia, It was a good movie though. Have you ever seen an epic, oscar worthy video game adaptation.

    Anyway, there is no story to f*ck up. Without buttloads of action, it will be super super super cheesy.

    I hate to say anything positive about Paul W. S. Anderson, but...

    I'm just glad it's not Uwe Bolle. If the Castlevania movie is poor, it'll sink and quietly be forgotten. If it's a Uwe Bolle movie, it'll be contending with other Uwe Bolle movies for the biggest pieces of **** films in the history of film.

    Imagine if Boll and WS teamed up, what would be the perfect franchise for them? Alone In The Dark or Clock Tower?
