You officially have a place in my heart.

The more details I hear about this film, the less hope I have for it. It just seems that he's throwing all of this pointless "mature" content in because he has permission to do so.

[Kale]

i hope he doesn't ruin it..... Drac's Curse is like my favorite game.

That's the only thing I don't like regarding "Mature ratings". Directors and writers always seem to want to push the envelope and get the most possible out of the rating. It's like a lot with many modern horror movies. It seems like they have a checklist with things they HAVE to use because it's "mature":

- Sex scenes(God help me if there is a threesome of Trevor, Sypha and Alucard).
- Overuse of profanity(look at the Rob Zombie movies)
- Boobie flashing/Skinny Dipping
- Male butt cheeks(rarely do they go all out schlong)
- Overuse of pointless gore(if a guy gets a papercut, gushes of the red stuff squirt out like a flash flood)

Movies like Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, was perfect in mood, IMO. It was dark, serious, and sure, there was some nudity, but not anything raunchy.

I wish the action in Bloodlust was longer and better though, and a better story, but its not bad enough for me to hate it. The action though, went by too fast.

[Profbeanburrito]

Just remember, this isn't some bad anime. Also, vampire's are full of lust and sex and all sorts of raunchy things. I know it's kind of weird.
Also, I don't think I've ever read anything from Warren Ellis, but I hear amazing things about his writing, so try and be hopeful, and if thats not enough, try reading some of his other works.

[Profbeanburrito]

I'm actually more excited about this than the live action movie, although I'm also looking forward to that too.

Well, in the vampire lore in which vampires aren't impotent. Sure, they seduce, but only get their meal. Though CV seems a little different(Dracula obviously got down an dirty with Lisa), though one could wonder if that's because he wasn't really "killed" before CV3. Thought the nudity we talk about is Alucard. When I first read the idea above, I immediately thought of Alucard rising from his coffin fully nude, just like Arnold is in the first Terminator movie. 

Sex is something that, while isn't bad, has to have a role in the story other than "fanservice"(which it almost always IS). And while there is a lot of crap coming from Japan in the recent years regarding anime, there isn't much better stuff coming from America either. Especially as far as horror-related stuff is concerned. It's become so stagnate that a lot of production companies are knee deep in remakes of older classic horror movies(I almost cried when I heard they want to remake The Exorcist) and remakes of Japanese horror movies.

[Kale]

I like remakes, but I want a good remake. THeres nothing in particular that makes it a good remake though, it just has to be able to interest me. GOOD GRAPHICS is one though, that I really want with a remake. Its kind of pointless to remake one in this generation and not do so. It seems so half assed if you don't try to make it with good graphics.

They better not ruin Drac's Curse with all that adult material. It just doesn't belong in Castlevania.
