Topic: Dracula's Curse Animated Movie

[TatteredSeraph]

Has anyone heard any update recently on the Warren Ellis penned animated movie of Dracula's Curse?  The last I'd heard was that even without updates for a while, that the website would occassionally resurrect.  Has it ever been officially shelved?

I don't think it's been updated since like 2008, right? It's long faded away into development hell and is presumably gone, but it's never been officially canceled.

It's dead. The blog has been down for at least a year. Good thing too because it sounded really terrible.

The entire essence of the movie contained in three words.

I'm glad it's dead. It was a train wreak in every sense of the term. Let's just hope it doesn't get resurrected like Dracula has time and time again. Though if it got reincarnated into something good like how Dracula was reincarnated into Soma, I'd check it out.

IIRC the dialogue was "gritty" and "grimdark," judging by the snippets of script we saw, and one line involved, well, goat fucking.

I never caught that reference, but I can speak for how horrible the leaked script bits were. Knowing "animated" films today, the whole film would have been like the flashback sequences in the Dante's Inferno anime, because EDGY.

Coincidentally, the Dante's Inferno anime film was a far better Castlevania film than any of the projects we might have gotten. And love it or hate it, Van Helsing is probably the closest we'll ever come to a no-kidding Castlevania movie. Given the track record of game-to-film adaptations, I'm pleased as punch that this is the case.

I'm glad this never got made. It would be a painful cluster-fuck to watch. And no-doubt that the writers would sneak in some of the Hollywood crap like Judgement did *COUGH!*Love triangle*COUGH!* If I were doing a CV III animated movie or just a movie period then I would do whatever it took to make it as authentic and true to the CV III game and story as humanly possible. No bulls**t.

Ah, nm, it was answered.

I wanted to see what this would have been. Shame. The games can't really get much lower for me, unless it's a Uwe Boll release.

Trevor in the artwork looks so shy and afraid.

If you know anything about Warren Ellis, you know this is kind of a thing of his.

He is the creator of Transmetropolitan, after all.

Such a magical series. So glad he's on Moon Knight now.
