Yep it's true a Castlevania movie!
 

Here's all the gory details about this one:

Release Date: TBA 2007 (wide)

MPAA Rating Notes: (12/5/05) Nothing's official until the MPAA sees the final cut, but there's a very good chance that this movie will be aiming for an R rating, as most of director Paul W.S. Anderson's previous videogame-inspired movies (all but Mortal Kombat) have been.

Distributor: Dimension Films

Production Company: Crystal Sky Pictures (Ghost Rider; also has an animated 'Pac-Man' movie in development), Impact Pictures (Anderson's company)

Cast: None announced yet.

Director: Paul W.S. Anderson (Alien vs Predator, Resident Evil: Apocalypse; also has a remake of Death Race 2000 in development)

Screenwriter: Paul W.S. Anderson

Based Upon: This movie is inspired by the long-running series of videogames published by Konami, about the adventures of various members of the Belmont family, and their efforts to destroy Dracula, and other vampires, mostly set in 19th century Europe. 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the series. The game series was, of course, also itself "inspired" by the character of Dracula as created by Bram Stoker.

Premise: As a powerful vampire named Dracula comes to power, a family of vampire hunters called the Belmont Clan emerges to defeat him and his evil hordes, led by silver-haired, whip-wielding Simon Belmont.

Setting Notes: (12/5/05) It should be interesting to see if writer/director Paul W.S. Anderson chooses to keep the movie's setting in 19th century Europe as (most, but not all, admittedly) of the video games have been set, or if he will adapt to the modern 21st century.

Filming: (12/5/05) Production is scheduled to start on this project in mid-2006.

Genre: Action, Horror, Supernatural, Videogame

Hopefully this isnt turned out a stereotypical Dracula movie and follows the game more closely

Oh well. At least we still have the games. :P

Yeah, I'd say this one has about as much potential as it would if it were directed by Uwe Boll...

Only if it were Boll, he'd wreck the movie on purpose...
