Dude, that fact that they have to stretch it out means PURE AWESOMENESS!! They'll actually focus on more than what the game showed. I bet there will be quite a lot about what happened before the first stage in the first one, for example. Maybe each movie will introduce a new ally? Like, Grant in the first, Sypha in the second, and Alucard in the third? So they wouldn't even get into the castle until the third movie... that would really be quite awesome, actually...
Though, I thought you meant that the live action movie would be a trilogy recreating the original NES games... that would be beyond awesome, if done properly...
