Topic: Plot of Castlevania Movie Revealed

If it were like, a chute or something he'd probably wind up sliding.

It's Dracula's castle. He's bound to have traps like those.

It would make more sense if Dracula's castle had traps that made intruders go splat instead of "wheeeeeeee!"

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?

Very near future o.O It scares me , this may either mean "a coulpe years after 1691" or actualy near future, 21st century, is not specified.I hope the first one.

Yeah, but I think of it like the second Harry Poter movie, when they slid down that chute to get to the Chamber of Secrets and landed in that pile of bones. I bet it will be something like that.

It OBVIOUSLY means after 1691 because they are talking about that period when they mention the very near future.  They were not talking about 2007.

Good idea. Very good idea. Me want.

But generally, the original idea (the knights and the castle) would have been alright, but this is far, far better.

i really really want this movie to be good.  castlevania is my favorite franchise of all time.. and if they can make a halfway decent transformers movie... even though micheal bay is the antichrist... they better be able to make a good castlevania movie!    plus there was been no good vampires movies in the last 10 years in my opinion

That synopsis is apparently bs.  Trevor will be the main character.

Trevor works too, so long as they make a good movie.  Castlevania III has a lot more characters to work with from the game to create a movie that can round out a two hour runtime with dialogue and character development.  Also, if the movie becomes a franchise success and merits sequels, it makes sense to start with the first battle against Dracula in the Castlevania chornology and let the sequels keep progressing the story forward in time instead of jumping back and forth.

Then why not start with LoI?
Or is this film (they keep talking about "the origins of Dracula") going to provide a new origin story that might clear up the whole Mathias argument (although I quite like the LoI story)?

Well Loi is really like an interactive movie in and of itself. I think they may be starting with Legend of Demon Castle because it is one of the most popular games as well as being the belmonts first battle with drac.

All this is a plot outline for the game.  Who can really say if this is made for the film or not.

However, it wouldnt suprise me if it WERE the actualy plot of the film, due to the fact that P.W.S.A. said he wanted to crank out the script a week before the writers strike happened, and he's not very creative or original, so what better way to go then copying the formula?

Heres hoping.

This news is pretty strange, considering the fact that we are also getting a Dracula Curse animated movie. It's like, wow, two movies depicted the same game. Dracula's Curse was an awesome game, but I'm not sure dedicating two mediums to tell it's story would be such a smart move. Warren Ellis's project, I'm fine with. The Sylvain White movie(if in fact they ARE doing a Trevor film, since White and IGA have yet to state anything regarding the plot), could've benefitted from being based on a different game.
