Today we scored some really great stuff from the set of Sony Screen Gems' Resident Evil: Extinction, which is now shooting in Mexico City, but this takes the cake. Inside we've got some new details on Paul W.S. Anderson's Castlevania video game adaptation, his remake of the classic 1975 film Deathrace 3000 and a tiny scoop on a planned sequel to Dimension Films' DOA: Dead or Alive. Read on for the skinny and watch this spot later this year from our report from the set of Resident Evil 3...
Here's a few quick bits from Resident Evil: Extinction Producer Jeremy Bolt:
Castlevania:
First off, Paul W.S. Anderson won't shoot this film until after he finished Deathrace 3000, which you can read more about below. As for the plot? "It will integrate Dracula's origin story with the story of the Belmonts," he tells B-D, "[There are] a fair amount of references [to the original NES games]." He continues, "[This will be] a whole new spin to 'Castlevania'," and the best part, "The whip is still in it."
DOA: Dead or Alive 2:
He also tells B-D that they are already prepping a sequel to Dimension Films' DOA: Dead or Alive, which hits theaters August 25th. The film is a feature adaptation of Tecmo's bestselling game franchise "DOA: Dead or Alive". The movie centers on four female fighters in a competition to the death on an exotic island.
Deathrace 3000:
Last but not least a few goodies about Paul W.S. Anderson's Deathrace 3000 remake, which is his next film. We were told that the remake has an entirely new tone, especially with the reality TV aspect, and has been expanded 20 years. He also tells us that the remake will not be as much of a parody as the original from 1975.
