So it seems Paul W.S. Anderson's big screen adapt of Castlevania is done. After some time in development hell the project is officially dropped.
Sources close to Bloody-Disgusting have confirmed that Paul W.S. Anderson’s Castlevania adaptation has officially turned to dust. The project, originally announced with Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer) attached to direct, had recently went out to new directors only to take a trip into the abyss of “development hell.”
Honestly, I'm glad. I think the idea and mythos surronding this project are great but adapts just have that stigma, that curse that dooms them all. Here's what I really want, and what I think cinema needs at this point. A true honest to goodness castle based vampire movie. Not Stoker's stuff, and no Rice adaptations, an original dark bloody, visceral, vampire movie that happens to be in a castle and no it doesn't have to be Dracula either...I'd rather it wasn't.
