UPDATED: Review of Paul W.S. Anderson's 'Castlevania' Script
Monday, July 14, 2008

Update: This is in fact a review of the OLD script -- moving on... With the screenplay going through various stages of rewrites, it's unclear just how new this one is, but either way you can read a review of Paul W.S. Anderson's screenplay for Castlevania, the adaptation he was writing-producing for Rogue Pictures. It is said that the film will focus on the origins of Dracula and the uprising of the Belmont Clan, a vampire-slaying family who supposedly become humanity's last hope. Sylvain White is attached to direct, while the screenplay has since been rewritten by both White and Ian Jeffers. We'll try and find out exactly which draft this is and get back to you.

Good god. I knew Anderson was useless but this script is insulting even if it is not the latest version. The whole thing reads like a bastard union of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Van Helsing, and The Historian (with emphasis on Stoker). He even scribes a sword as being the main weapon with but a few mentions of the legendary Vampire Killer whip. What a retard. Sounds even worse than what he has done with Resident Evil. I wonder if he even reads the shit he writes (or plays the games for that matter). I felt as angry as the reviewer reading that. Anderson is an embarrassment. The sooner we burn him the better.

It's obvious that this script is filled with information that does not follow the game at all but my favorite is that Christopher Belmont is Simon Belmont's brother, when in the video game time line Christopher Belmont does battle with Dracula 115 years before Simon does, which also is not in the 1500's but in the 1690's. What is Anderson thinking?

**Sigh** Old script or not it's still Paul W.S. Anderson joint in some way. So tons of suck will be made readily available for all.

Kukeiha Club absolutely MUST compose the soundtrack to this movie if it's going to have the Castlevania feel. They are the original composers to the games soundtrack and I don't think there is anyone in hollywood who could do better. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kukeiha_Club Bra m Stokers Dracula was good, but people going to see this movie aren't going to see a "vampire" movie, as there are plenty of vampire movies. And we aren't interested in seeing an "action" movie, or any standard movie. This is a video game movie. The most important thing they need to do is capture the FEELing of Castlevania. And having the original composers compose the soundtrack would certainly help in capturing the feel, but the whip also absolutely must be the main weapon. I don't remember a sword being a weapon in Castlevania. I remember the whips, I remember the music, I remember the feeling of it all and it was not a typical vampire game.
