Whether or not the world needs a live-action Castlevania film is up for debate, but that doesn't matter to producer Paul W.S. Anderson. In a recent interview, the director/producer told SCI FI Wire that the film's script is nearly complete, and is expected to shoot in the next few months.
Anderson, best known by gamers as "the dude who directed the Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil movies," is currently directing Death Race, a remake of the 1975 cult classic, Death Race 3000. Castlevania is set to be directed by Sylvain White, and is currently being penned by Ian Jeffers.
What are the odds that they won't screw this one up? There had better be a scene where someone finds a turkey in a wall somewhere and eats it. That's all it will actually take to make me happy. How about you?

I currently don't have any faith the movie will be any good, but I know I'll still catch it opening night.

You just can't take Castlevania seriously, which is what this guy is going to do, hence it will fail. The games have always been a cheesefest, and the movie should reflect that.
Castlevania is doomed.
At least I read something like this on Bad Signal.
I mean, fuck, the movie has a conversation about a farmer falling in love with a goat and "snake fucking(ly crazy)", a term coined by Mr. Ellis in his script. It should at least be decent.
AND FYI, the best Video Game adapation ever is the Street Fighter II The Animated Movie.
So good Capcom made a new series based on it (Alpha/Zero). Plus, you know, Chun Li shower scenes and her fighting in her underwear. Good times.
No, damn it! Ellis wrote the script for the animated film. There are two separate Castlevania projects in the works: A live-action feature film, and a direct-to-DVD animated film. Warren Ellis is writing the second one.
