Castlevania Coming To The Big Screen
by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 03, 2005 4:12am PSTVariety this morning reports that the movie rights to Castlevania have been snapped up, with Paul W.S. Anderson attached to write and direct. Anderson previously brought us movie adaptations of Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil. At least it's not Uwe Boll? I mean we're talking several steps up the shit ladder here.

There's a good movie there. Maybe even more than one. But this retard just doesn't understand how to make good movies, and his past game efforts suggest that all he'll do is take the name and one major element, and ignore everything else from the game. He creates his own characters and plots, which often contradict everything that's come before.
Well, we'll see, I suppose.

Seriously, why make a movie about this? Since there's virtually no chance that it won't suck, the best we can hope for is something mediocre, and unless the movie has the main character whipping hearts out of candlabras, I just don't see it being faithful to the source material either.
Also I can pretty much guarantee that the games will have better music, unless they reorchestrate Super Castlevania's score.
