Topic: Plot of Castlevania Movie Revealed

I'm kinda afraid to see Beowulf...did they translate the epic poem well?

:3 I am appeased with this new development in the Castlevania movie.  Now if they'd actually begin production....

My dad saw it and said it was good and that it was very close to the poem.

I'm going to risk being severely flamed here and say that I thought Anderson did a reasonably good job with the first two Resident Evil movies (I have not seen the third). Some things were changed, but let's keep in mind the video game movies we USED to have to endure like Super Mario Brothers. Anderson paid appropriate tribute, even lifting certain entire scenes from the game.

And then there's Uwe Boll, who the last I heard got a few laughs out of Hideo Kojima (and not in a positive way).

The new story sounds very nice.

 Also i would like to ask you what you think about the spot where it say's about Dracula is putting a curse at simon. Does this mean that they are going to leave suspitions about a second castlevania movie who it will telling the story of Simon's quest?

I was so happy, then i read this "he price? The evil master places a curse of death upon Simon, which will lead him into a long and dangerous journey in the very near future."
What a shitty plot. There'll be a 20minutes prologue , then Simons gets teleported in 2007 and find chris tucker a NY nigga policeman who will help him to defeat dracula, what a shit.

I actually liked much the idea of the belmont clan leading the romanian army against turks and ending up in Castlevania, and then the horror begins.

That was my theory. But that would be cool, and only logical.

Beowulf was great.  Please see it in Digital DLP 3D (at AMC Theatres in the USA) or in iMax 3D.

You will love it.

That just means that Simon is going to fight Drac again a couple years after 1691.  You know like in Cv2?  Where on earth did you get the 2007 garbage?

Indeed, I just saw Beowulf this afternoon in 3D at an AMC theatre.  It's not a cinematic masterpiece, but it's quite an entertaining spectacle.

On the subject of the Castlevania movie, my bet is on the plots of Castlevania and Simon's Quest being merged together into one movie.  That solves the problem of there being no real plot of any substance in the first Castlevania game on which to produce a two hour movie.

Interesting. It seems that every new bit of info raises the bar of hope just a little bit. However, one thing still worries me: the anime-feel garbage that was mentioned. I realize there is good anime out there, but coming from someone who's only major movie was one made solely for the idiot masses, I can't help but wonder what "anime-feel" means to him.

Otherwise, it is looking pretty good. Here's hoping they watch some Hammer films for reference, in terms of atmosphere and artistic direction. But that's just me.

Speaking of all this, I'm really excited to see how close it is to the actual game. For instance, what will they do about the part after Simon defeats the mummies and falls down that loooooooooooooooooooooong hole? Logically, in a real, non-animated movie, a person who did that would be a giant pile of mush resembling a smashed watermelon. How will they get around this (without skipping the scene altogether, cause I really want to see that) without making it seem easy?

If it's any where near as good as Beowulf turned out to be, I will be one incredibly happy man.

No, there was a hard, rock ground. Besides, it ould hurt to fall that long into water as well.
