Christopher and Simon are brothers.

Heh, what more did you expect?

I expected at the very least a whip.

Anyway, not like I was expecting anything good or worth seeing. Just figured I'd post this for anyone interested.

Isn't that an outdated script though? Didn't they give that failure the boot and out Silvain White on the job? Isn't there supposed to be some new unleaked, secret script and that one that got reviewed is no longer being used?

Yuck!!  Give me a break, that script is horrible.  I really hope that it's thrown out and a new one is written.  I bet Anderson hasn't even played a castlevania game.  Therefore, if that is true, there is no way that a movie would be good or even resemble the series.  Besides, the original castlevania doesn't have much to work with.  There are no cut-scenes, only continuous fighting enemies until the boss of the level and then it's the same thing on the next levels until you fight and defeat Dracula.  Then again, it provides a lot of room for the script writer to be creative.

Personally, I would prefer that one of the later games is used.  For example, SotN.  It has cut-scenes and a good story.  Sure, stuff would have to be added to make the movie a decent length and not constant battles.  This is just my opinion.  Even Castlevania 3 would make a better movie.

I hope this movie is outrageously shitty enough to laugh at, like the Street Fighter movie. Otherwise, no way.

Ugh, that was disgusting. I'm really starting to wonder why people even write such crappy scripts. Shouldn't they know everyone will hate it? Castlevania movies ALWAYS suck, and taking it away from the game's storyline won't make this any better. Simon and Christopher are brothers? The Vampire Killer doesn't exist? Give up, people.

I rejoiced when I saw that movie for $5 (more than what it's worth, actually) and absolutely had to snatch it up. It's such a crap movie but is kind of fun to watch, and Kylie Minogue as Cammy kind of gives me a boner. Plus, they made Zangief such an oaf and I'm actually pretty amused by his added comic relief (WTF is comic relief in a movie like this anyway?), and years back during my budding stage from boyhood to teenagedom, I caught the movie on TV for the first time and masturbated furiously to Ming-Na Wen in that Chun-Li outfit.

Aw, you all just don't recognize the genius of this script. Didn't you see the ending's twist? Simon Belmont is the new lord of the castle, which is currently being rebuilt in downtown New York City.

Orson Welles couldn't have done better.

I think if anyone sees Paul in real life he ought to be whipped with the CV official whip.

Whoa! If Sonia's really in it, and this chick's playing her, and they give her a whip, then the movie will still be a piece of crap, but at least there's potential to supply some very nice wank material.

That is old, outdated news, it was only a rumor, and therefore not what our movie will be based upon.

True, but if that is what the movie is going to be, it would be like a movie version of Castlevania Legends.  Then again, it would be in accurate even if it was faithful to the game because that game isn't apart of the official time-line anymore.
In all honesty, the truth of the matter is that we really don't know for sure what the movie is going to be like.  For all we know, the whole project could get scrapped.  It happens sometimes.  For example, they could run out of money, something could happen to the lead actors, etc. 
In other words, only time will tell as to whether the movie is good or not.  Besides, even if it isn't faithful to any of the games, it could still be a good movie.  Look at the Vampire Hunter D books and animated movies.  The movies were very different from the books, but they were still decent.
In reality, all we can do is wait and hope for the best.

The VHD anime movies rock though, the first one being a fuckin' weird work of art, and the second being, well, a much less weird work of art. This movie is just going to be no-talent garbage with a generic story and probably nothing that resembles Castlevania.

At least the three-part animated series sounds promising, if all goes according to plan.

I thought that bastard Anderson was off the movie?! I heard he'd been put back on but I heard he was only being allowed to *tweak* the script, not actually try to push his original crap storyline!

First Resident Evil and that BS known as 'Alice' and now this crap. 

There's not even a damn whip...the most TRADEMARK, you can't miss it, it's on most of the DAMN covers of the games you moronic Paul Anderson, weapon of this series, and he couldn't even get it right. That man should be banned from touching 'game to movie' scripts.

I'm so pissed, I must go play the original Castlevania and apologize to Simon.

That script was scrapped almost a year ago.  The movie is about trevor, I have a copy of the script excerpt that was released to the public, pm me with your e-mail if you want to see it.

Ah okay!  I'd heard about that (apparently, it's suppose to be based very closely off of CV3), cause I'd heard the same thing but then I know Anderson is suppose to kinda be back on the script (which got people worried again) and I was wondering if he'd been able to push his original BS story back into the picture.

Makes me feel better.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the animated direct-to-video project, Castlevania: Dracula's Curse, written by Warren Ellis?

Yes, Warren ellis's story is different.  This is the script by Ian Jeffers and Sylvain white.  It is great, and very true the games.  PM me your e-mail if you want to read it.  And read my last post, BD is great because when they get things like this they go out and find out the facts.

As long as she has a nice sex scene in it I'll blow 5 bucks, even if it sucks I'll having something nice to think about later.

I read the Jeffers/White script, and generally it IS better than Anderson's. At least IMO. It feels more CV-ish, as well as takes a bit of background from the games. Anderson's seemed like he just wanted to show what CV was to HIM, as, per say, how Resident Evil was to HIM. I kinda wonder how Anderson will change Jeffers/White's script, and if his ideas implimented to the script will do it good. The thing found bad with Anderson's depiction of Simon was that he knew nothing about Dracula, even though his family's been fighting Dracula for centuries. Jeffer/White make it known that Trevor's family was driven out of Wallachia(Wakariya in the script, just like the Japanese version) many years before(which used to be their homeland(just like CV3 states). Urgh, not to mention in Anderon's script, the whole Simon befriends Dracula as he has his castle slaughter the invading Turks, then suposably discovers Dracula is evil later on. I couldn't swallow that. Simon, befriending Dracula?
