Look at Alucard. They drew him horribly.

This ain't a direct representation of how the film's art's gonna be.

I know that but the art is still..... not Castlevania.

Iunno, seems like a nice take on the style that CV3 had, actually.

Well, it's not that there is no Grant, it's that he's not important like the rest of the cast and he probably won't show up until after the first film. As long as he's got a cameo of some sort I'm happy.
I also think Grant was just put into CVIII to make it easier

I like this art. I hope they go with something similar in the end but every time I imagine what it's going to look like I think of the Spawn animated series, which I like.

I never played CVIII, but I hope they take Grant out, as well as put SotN-like Alucard in there. I have no complants on Trevor or Belnades.

Why? The story's supposed to follow the canon, and Grant's canon. A major part of the story was that after helping Trevor fight and destroy Dracula, Grant returned to the village at the beginning of the game and helped to rebuild it and restore it to its former glory.

Ellis has already said Grant's prolly gonna take a backseat as far as main characters go, but he's gonna be in it.

Well as long as he doesn't act all pirate like.

Grant being a pirate was a Konami USA invention, just like the 'spirit forms' and Poltergeist King. Grant's supposed to be a freedom fighter.

Yeah Dracula killed his family and destroyed his village. He's fighting the oppression that Dracula's placing on the land. Sypha was hired by the church to fight Dracula but failed after being turned to stone.

Oh, well if they go with that then I'm good, As long as they change Alucard.

You've never played Dracula's Curse!?!?! Blasphemy!!!

Anywho, I actually hope they make Alucard look more like the CVIII version. I think that would be kind of cool. It does take place 300 years earlier so it'd be cool to see him with not only a different outfit design but a different physical look as well, even though he really doesn't age much.

In response to the no grant thing hes gonna be in it but Ellis said something about changing his name from Danasty to Dinesti to give it more of a believable feel i suppose. Also some story surrounding cv3 is gonna be added to cannon which has been approved by IGA.

His name was originally supposed to be Danesti anyway. There's Vlad Dracula, so his family rivals, the Danesti, also could be.

The guys who originally localized cv3 didn't research the source material, and Danesti does kinda sound like engrish, hence the whole danasty crap.

Too bad it's a historical name. :o
