Mark Healey "annoyed" by LittleBigPlanet controlsFilm producer, Paul W.S. Anderson told SCIFI.com today that he hopes to have the script for the upcoming video game adaption of Castlevania done before the writer's strike in a couple weeks.
"[I'm] hoping to get a script for it in two or three weeks," Anderson stated. "And I'm hoping it's great. Sylvain White is directing it, and we're hoping to kind of make it a pre-strike movie. So it kind of shoots in the next couple months."
Developed by Konami, Castlevania is one of the longest going game franchises in the industry. With over 25 titles in the series, there should be plenty of history and characters for the film writers to make a decent movie adaptation.
Movie producer, Jeremy Bolt has also confirmed that the film is in pre-production for Rogue Pictures, with an intended start date this spring. He added that casting is already underway, but none of the main roles has been cast at this time.
For a brief history on what Castlevania producer Paul W.S. Anderson has done, here is a quick look at his Director and Producer filmography credits:
Director Credits:
- Mortal Kombat (1995)
- Resident Evil (2002)
- Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Producer Credits:
- Resident Evil (2002)
- Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
- Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
- DOA: Dead or Alive (2007)
Also if you were curious about Castlevania's possible director, Sylvain White, here are his Director filmography credits.
- Stomp the Yard (2007)
- I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (2006)
From the sounds of it, you can already bet on this being another horrible game to movie adaptation. Sorry gamers. Stay tuned for more information.

Film companies and Games dont mix. This news is quite sad, I mean do they really have to screw up the Castlevania name? Cant they make a crap movie about a crap game instead?
Better still - just go away Hollywood - and leave gaming well alone.
Oh Dear Paul.W.S.Anderson, what a hack.
Look at the films he's been involved with and then debate if the word "credentials" should actually be used.
oh god is the director from RE and AvP this is going to be a crap, those movies are soo bad. Why not get james cameron or peter jackson? not this idiot
I got a Tekken movie adaption on my computer (?) it's in anime!!! Man.. it explains so much... lol, well some movies CAN be good,.... i hope...
The sad thing is, Paul Anderson can be a good director. Event Horizon was one of my favorite movies. But Paul Anderson + video games = dog crap.
Well Rouge pictures did make the Dawn of the dead remake, hopefully they can put some shine on this piece of turd. -edit- My bad i'm thinking of something else, mabey there's some hope for this movie.
psn id: gingo.... hmmmm resisdent evil films were not bad and mortal kombat was pretty good so hopefully he makes a good job of this and doesn't embarrass the gaming industry and himself
This movie scares me. And not for the right reasons.
the idea of a castlevania sounds awesome to me - but dont screw it up lol
wow onther wierd movie is coming
Mortal Kombat Was great TBH and the resident evil series wasnt bad either not excellent but not bad i enjoy it , so hopefully he can do something decent.
Lets hope for the best ...
I suppose we should give them the benefit of the doubt. Although, Hollywood has not proven us wrong yet. I love most of the Castlevania games and would rather see another game in the series for the PS3 instead of a movie that will probably turn out to be a flop. The premise has the potential to be a good movie...but you know how previous transiterations of games into movies turned out.
To be honest I don't think any Director can make a good movie adaption from a game. Its like The Cleaner says, they don't mix. These movies have better chance at being great if they were created by the developers in CG.
