Bloody-Disgusting reports that a film adaptation of Konami's vampire-whipping Castlevania video game series is back on. This news comes after the Castlevania movie that was going to be directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Event Horizon, Alien vs. Predator) was recently canceled.

 

Now, the writer and director of the original grisly SAW horror film, James Wan, will both write and direct the Castlevania adaptation.

"The thing I love about what Konami did with Castlevania, was taking the iconic Dracula mythology and Eastern-European setting, and retelling it with a Japanese pop-cultural sensibility...That's the East-meets-West tone I want to visually expand on for the film. I'm thrilled by the opportunity to make a highly stylized, fantasy, action film that focuses on the gothic storyline and the cool, anime-like characters."

-James Wan

I hope Wan doesn't place it in a modern setting. To really do Castlevania right, they're going to need to splurge on gigantic elaborate sets, costumes, etc.

I wonder who they'll cast as Dracula.

yeah it is going to cost them a ton and it sure will take a lot of cg. but nif they do spend the money on it the sets could look fantastic. the dracula from van helsing could be a good dracula in it. either way it has great potential and cant wait to see it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Did anyone see Death Sentence by James Wan... I think it was the second movie he did after SAW... fucking terrible! It's like an even shittier ripoff of Death Wish with Bronson
