Paul W.S. Anderson Returning to 'Castlevania'?

Odd news from the set of Resident Evil: Afterlife as Bloody Disgusting's Mike Pereira sent in a small news bite that has me scratching my head. Resident Evil producer Jeremy Bolt tells press that writer/director/producer Paul W.S. Anderson is once again circling Castlevania, along with the feature film adaptation of Metal Gear Solid. Why so odd? This past July Saw co-creator James Wan was attached to the project that would bring Simon Belmont to the big screen to battle Dracula and other ghouls. We'll see if we can't get word from Wan. Personally, I'll cry if Anderson goes back to this project.

I like PWSA, but not because he's that good really. I think he makes entertaining movies, but if he does something I actually care about (AVP) . . . you know.

Great now he can hire is overused wife for another movie.

Holy shit, he better not touch Metal Gear Solid. PWSA makes some good cheese sometimes (Event Horizon, Death Race), but there's no way in hell he'll be able to handle the extensive and complex mythos/universe of Metal Gear. PWSA can violate Resident Evil all he wants (he's already mauled it beyond recognition), but he better fuck off on MGS.

@TheDeadMayTasteBad look at the bright side, at least Uwe Boll isnt doing it

Stay the fuck away from Metal Gear, Anderson. I could give 3 shits about Castlevania or Resident Evil, but stay far away from Snake.

Please! PLEASE! Don't let him touch Metal Gear Solid. Castlevania's already looking like a write off. Give Snake to somebody who'll do him justice like Neil Blomkamp.

PWSA Did a solid job on Mortal Kombat, i loved it back in the day, but man have the fight scenes aged horribly, they're so bad! ;p Resident Evil was solid for what it was, but Resident Evil it was not ;p AVP was awful on the other hand.

I actually had some faith in Wan, hearing how much of a CV fan he is. Talk of Anderson returning doesn't thrill me at all. It's probably one of the worst things for the movie, perhaps only being sightly better than having Uwe Boll tackle the project.

Gawd no...

I wish he would make movies out of awful game properties like zero wing that could only be improved upon instead of ruining good stuff.

I hope that means James won't lose high directing job. That would suck so much!

Please don't let him do Metal Gear Solid!

For fucks sake I hope they keep him away from metal gear solid, that is my dream game to movie adaption and Id rather see it never released rather than see anderson get his greasey mitts on it. I feel same way about castlevania also. If you cant do it right then dont fucking do it at all and anderson wont do it right.

Noooo he can not touch Metal Gear Solid! The story of MGS is to complex for Anderson to comprehend let alone do it! AHHHHH

If they do make Metal Gear movies, Clint Eastwood HAS to play Old Snake.

It really is Friday the 13th huh? The only thing worse than this news would be Uwe Boll doing both Metal Gear and Castlevania.

Nooooo! Please don't touch the legendary and complicated mythology of Metal Gear Solid! Nooooo! Are you people serious? "Complicated mythology?" Metal Gear is a videogame for God's sake! I can see people being protective of comic book characters or old movies and not wanting shitty remakes, but videogames? Seriously? Freakin' videogames? Anderson is a crappy director, but he can't fuck up Metal Gear any worse than Michael Bay fucked up Transformers! And James Wan, you want him directing Castlevania after he directed Death Sentence and that piece of shit Dead Silence? Seriously? Can Anderson really be any worse than that?

sociopath187, it's obvious you've never even touched a Metal Gear videogame.

Paul W.S. Anderson fucks up everything he touches. He's an asshat! All of his films barely hit the entertaining mark. James Wan sucks too. It's sad that Castlevania and Metal Gear will not see a decent film to it's game franchise.

I hate that sorry ass punk Paul Anderson he ruined what could have been great movies like Aliens vs Predator and Resident Evil. I wished that all the movie companies quit giving this worthless piece of shit a job. HE SUCKS!!
