As horrible as it sounds, I'd like to remind everyone we've already heard that Rogue Pictures ordered a major re-write of the script. So there's still a glimmer of hope...
-
Man, this movie is going to suck.
-
If the script is as bad as he says no way I'm going to see this piece of shit with "Castlevania" slapped on it. I already hardly go to the movies anymore because of the stupid high priced tickets, popcorn, drinks and having to sit through all the gay ass commercials and 35 previews that I 99% of the time care nothing about. Hell the movie theatres should be giving us a break on ticket and concession prices with all the money they're making now that they've allowed advertising before the films but no they raise the prices even more, even though the number of people going to the movies every week keeps declining. :?
-
Um. guys. Anderson's off the movie and so is his lame script.
-
The news about the Anderson review is OLDER than old. It was first released when Anderson was on board, but as of now, anything regarding Anderson's story is moot. Sylvain White and some other guy are writing the new story.
-
Like Serio and DragonSlayr81 said, this is probably out of date now.
Why can it not just be an adaptation of Castlevania? That seems fairly logical: for a film named after a video game to be based on that video game. Sure, it doesn't have much of a story, but they could easily build stuff around "1691 - DRACULA RISES - SIMON BELMONT GOES INTO CASTLEVANIA - SIMON BELMONT DEFEATS DRACULA". Easily.
If Sylvain White has played the original Castlevania, then perhaps there is hope.
As has been suggested, you could then have Castlevania II (based on CV2) and III (based on CV3). They could add in bits from other games into those for storyline purposes. Maybe also a DXC movie based on Rondo and Symphony.

Wouldn't even need that much of a story except the setting and Dracula part. It'd be fine even if the movie was mostly made of Simon kicking monster ass. :P

Well, Sylvain said he was a fan, and he met with IGA. Don't know how much that goes to say what we can expect. Ian Jeffers is the guy writing the story(with some input from Sylvain). Jeffers wrote the movie "Death Sentence". Don't really know what to expect(haven't seen the movie). Sylvain has said that he wants his movie to have an anime-esque feel to it. That can be good or bad.

Awesome! I thought I remembered reading that. Unfortunately, this movie is still likely going to suck.

Meaning if he executes it right we have a pwnage movie worth watching and if he doesn't...Well basicly it would suck.

Well anime is awesome, so i the movie is anime-esque, then it should be awesome also.

oh okay, I thought they let anderson back on the project or something.
-
I will not see this movie if it is based off of Anderson's script.

I'd see it, plainly because it has the name Castlevania on it, but I'm sure I won't like it.
-
Yeah...really don't see what could possibly be so difficult about creating an amazing film based on a game series with easily one of the richest and long-enduring storylines in the entire history of videogames..it almost seems as though you'd have to try pretty hard to screw this up, PARTICULARLY considering the rich legacy of really great vampire films that both Hollywood and foreign film companies have been producing since year one.
The clues regarding this film are almost enough to bring one to tears. Personally, I firmly believe something like a cross between Vampire Hunter D, Nosferatu (c.1922, German), and the kick-a** storyline that CV claims should do the trick...keep CGI at a minimum; they rarely seem to understand how to properly use that to their advantage in films.

My biggest complaint is that they took away the whip. Anyone who does that should be crucified on site, no, worse! They should be put in one of those machines that makes trees into wood chips! Muahahahahahaha!!!

A SWORD!!! ANDERSON WAS GOING TO GIVE SIMON A SWORD!!! HOW DARE HE! HE WAS ABOUT TO DESTROY CASTLEVANIA! CURSE YOU AND YOUR SHITY MOVIES ANDERSON! CURSE YOU!!! ANDERSON MUST DIE AND BURN IN HELL WITH HITLER!!! LIKE PINEAPPLES ANDERSON!!! CAUSE THIS ONE WAS PICKED TO BE SQUESSED!!! All that Anderson is is a mean little man who wants to destroy the most beautiful games with his awful terrible ideas for his movies! I bet that man has never played Castlevania in his whole life! he has no idea what he is doing and Sylvian better know what he is doing. Because if not im going to be one pissed off fan! TO HELL WITH ANDERSON! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Dude. Chill. Even so, I agree withyou. Gladly, Anderson is gone. Yipee...
-
well... that son of a bitch should have never even thought of touching that pen to write the story, because that was probably the worst thing to ever happen to video game movie history.

Ever see the live-action Street Fighter? ::)
-
...or the second Mortal Kombat.
Or anything by Uwe Boll.
-
Great Idea ---> Castlevania CG movie, like the Resident Evil: Degeneration
-
Wasn't Warren Ellis writing something about Castlevania? I could swear it was some animated movie...
-
He IS doing an animated movie. Well, 3 animated movies. It's to be a trilogy of the events of CV3.
-
So, we will have a movie AND some animated movies? Kinda weird to have two projects like that at the same time...
