Paul W.S. Anderson will no longer be writing or directing Rogue Pictures’ adaptation of the classic Dracula video game series Castlevania. According to Dread Central, the director will instead turn his concentration to Death Race 3000, the remake of Death Race 2000.
A teaser poster, seen left, for Castlevania had even been displayed at the 2006 American Film Market.
Dimension Films supposedly dropped the project after they failed to embrace Anderson’s script which spanned many time periods. Most of the action was to take place in 15th century Transylvania.
Anderson (not to be confused with PT Anderson) is considered a hack director within the business. Next to Uwe Boll (House of the Dead), Anderson is probably second for worst video game adaptations.

Sheesh, way to let a hack director ruin an awesome video game franchise. Resident Evil wasnt a great flick, but I could watch it repeatedly. If Castelvania turns out 4 times better than Bloodrayne, (directed by Uwe Boll and written by a stoned monkey) it will still only be half as good as resident evil. I understand that people want to make money off of fanboys/girls, but a heinous and just plain crappy script and shoddy directing, do not make a good movie… Have some respect for your audience and dont make another turd of a movie.
