Topic: Castlevania Movie: Will Still probably not be faithful to the game...

[Long John Silver]

Bartley is to Bathory just as Danasty to Danesti, Belnades to Fernandez, Lecarde to Ricardo, Sypha to Sophia, Alcarde to Alucard, Renard to Lanett/Larned, Belmont to Belmondo etc.

Still not as bad as Ralph to Trevor, Leviathan to Pazuzu, Granfalon to Legion and such, at least the previous ones tried to keep the original name but failed at engrish and research of the source material, unlike here where they changed the entire meaning of the name.

If they name the new cv girl as "Shanoa" she'll join the first list too.

Well, even though a lot of it was cut out, it appears better than Anderson's script. Who knows though?

Sypha to Sophia

Sophia is spelled ソフィア in Japanese.  Sypha's name is サイファ, the same spelling as the word "cipher."

You're right about the others, though.

But we dont even know if that new girl is official!

Pardon my ignorance, but who's directing this again? Sylvain White or something?

 Maybe this movie will be a parody of Van Helsing like Meet the Spartans was to 300. Simon will have a dance-off with Dracula at the end. Then he will say "You got Served". But seriously, folks. Unless this movie is R-rated, gothic, dark, etc., it's going to suck. Remember, this is Castlevania, not Indiana Jones...

I could only hope it is more like Indiana Jones,so at the end Simon can throw Dracula out a window and say "No Ticket" !

Yep, the mastermind behind "Stomp the Yard."

Still, at least he's versatile.
