that...is a tight poster

im glad this is getting directed by wann as apposed to Uwe Boll. lol

Everything works in this poster EXCEPT for that damn sword! Castlevania took place in Europe, not Japan. Other then that, pretty damn exciting news!

I agree about the sword, as long as Sylvian White aint touching this i'm happy....But i just feel that Wan is the wrong person for this, it doesn't seem like him to start doing game to film adaptations............Also this is a poster to the upcoming game, not the movie

this...could be amazing.

Ehhh... Is that what they are making the Vampire Killer look like in this film (Being that is even a Belmont wielding the Vampire Killer)?? And what game is this a poster for next-gen? Lord of Shadow? Because it isn't.

a great videogame to movie adaptation? lets hope. this could be great.

I saw this poster in a game mag last month as a poster, i cant remember the title its coming out on xbox 360, not sure about ps3 though........But yeah this actually does have great potential to be one of the greatest game to film adaptations

SCORE! With Wan behind the script and camera this could be epic.

Yawn

if Wan can pull a Saw 1 with this it could work I'm in partial agreement with the sword but at the same time Alucard was known to travel across the world.... but who remembers Alucard with a whip? and where the F*** IS A BELMONT!

I thought they said this had been canned?

has it been said that, that alucard is the main character in this flick or are we just assuming?

It doesn't look like Alucard. Just because he has white hair and wields a sword doesn't mean a thing. Juste had white hair. Hector and Soma had white hair. I find it interesting, though. This poster is legit, right? Cause if it is, wow, these guys know how to keep true to the later CV games(the IGA-vanias), cause that character(a Belmont, no doubt) looks very Ayami Kojima-ish in design. For those of you not familiar with the CV series, Ayami Kojima was the character designer for Symphony of the Night, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness and the Dracula X Chronicles. The whole "merging of Eastern and Western influences" really has me hopeful. That's how a CV movie SHOULD be. And it's good to see Konami having a healthy relationship with Wan and company. They wouldn't let anybody do this movie, and when someone wants to do, either a book, comic or film of their games, they provide them with all the background resources, game histories, plot details, character and monster designs to help them keep true to the source material.

It's probably just an assumption, Justin. A lot of CV fans are really only in it for Symphony of the Night, and ride along with that bandwagon. I'm hoping we get Simon Belmont here. And it's totally possible that he could have obtained a Japanese sword like that, because it is, after all, EASTERN Europe, and it's possible that he could have bought it from a market, or it could have been given to him by a wandering samurai or something. Anything is possible, but as long as he's got the whip...

saw was a competently-directed, surprisingly good horror flick. death sentence, however, was GARBAGE.

Sounds good. :) Now this movie has some hope.

This isn't even a goddamn legit poster, fuck. Just some bullshit someone threw together. Anywho, James Wann is better than Uwe Bowell but that doesn't make this an instant awesome film. I'm waiting for the cast to be announced and a trailer. At least the new game looks awesome.

This teaser poster was created by the Aaron Sims Company specifically for James Wan's version of the movie. The Japanese sword is intentional.

Look at Saw and Death Sentence, James Wan is perfect to direct Silent Hill 2, the horror and emotion is shot perfectly. This should be fun too.

The depressorama continues.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Leave Castlevania alone you rubbish film making chumps!

If they went for the mood in the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow" trailer, I'd freaking worship them! But with Paul Anderson producing, this might just be a failed attempt at cheesy action. James Wan, having failed at Dead Silence and Death Sentence, doesn't make me any happier about this. Atleast we still have the games...

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA Beat Uwe Boll to it, didja? Thank God... I don't think I could take another disaster like "House of the Dead"

Excellent news. Can't wait for Wan's latest. :)
