Looks like the Anderson helmed Castlevania just couldn’t find a way to make it work, and the project is being turfed.
Sources close to Bloody-Disgusting have confirmed that Paul W.S. Anderson’s Castlevania adaptation has officially turned to dust. The project, originally announced with Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer) attached to direct, had recently went out to new directors only to take a trip into the abyss of “development hell.”
I was always a fan of the video game, but as with any video game adaptation I wasn’t at all looking forward to seeing this adapted.
Sure any film can surprise, and Paul WS Anderson has the best track record with games adapted to films with Resident Evil (best is a loose term here), but I am not shedding any tears hearing this is being sent to the attic.
Maybe someday.
