Is Paul W.S. Anderson gearing up to make a new Resident Evil film? The answer would be yes, according to film website ShockTillYouDrop. A studio insider supposedly told them that Sony is in fact scheduling a release for September 17, 2010. This would be followed later on by a confirmation of the release date via an internal memo circulating the office.

And so it is over even before it officially took off. Sources close to Bloody Disgusting are reporting that the film adaptation for Castlevania has been sucked out dry and so will no longer push through. Canned is the word, I believe.

Celebrating 2008 may just be a Resident Evil fan's treat as the Blu-ray shelves have tons in store for the high-definition movie enthusiast with a inclination for zombie horror flicks. But the action packed list also has shooterfests and blitzes of fisticuffs tucked in with two action spectacles of 2007.

Back in October, Paul W.S. Anderson shared that production for the long-planned Castlevania movie adaptation will soon go full swing. Prior to all this, it was believed that the story of the Castlevania movie project will revolve around a knight from Transylvania hiding from the Turkish Army in Dracula's castle.

Well, you can all forget about that as the official plot of the movie has just been revealed. The plot after the jump!

While giving way to Sylvain White as the director for the Castlevania movie adaptation, Paul W.S. Anderson remains part of the project as a producer. In a recent interview, Anderson shared that the Castlevania movie's shooting will likely begin in a couple of months.

This is because they want the script to be done before the impending writer's strike. "I'm hoping to get a script for it in two or three weeks. And I'm hoping it's great. Sylvain White is directing it, and we're hoping to kind of make it a pre-strike movie. So it kind of shoots in the next couple months," said Anderson.

It was reported a while ago that Rogue Pictures wanted a complete overhaul to the Castlevania script. According to earlier reports, the previous plot of the planned Castlevania movie revolved around a knight from Transylvania hiding from the Turkish Army in Dracula's castle.

The video game franchise Castlevania from Konami first appeared in 1986 on the platform Famicom Disk System.

A development has just happened for the upcoming movie adaptation of the successful video game franchise Castlevania. According to horror film website Bloody-Disgusting, Paul W.S. Anderson is no longer part of the project as the director "wanted to focus" on his remake of Death Race.

What happens now to the movie Castlevania? According to the said website, the new director is going to be Sylvain White and the whole script is being revamped by Ian Jeffers. One of White's latest projects is the movie Stomp the Yard while Jeffers is mostly known for his adaptation of Death Sentence featuring the actor Kevin Bacon.

It should be remembered that Paul W.S. Anderson mentioned back in March of this year that he will remain actively involved in the movie adaptation no matter what happens because he has grown attached to it. It is still unclear as of now whether Rogue Pictures would want to retain some of Anderson's ideas for Castlevania.

To help you decide if this development is a good thing or not, be informed that part of Anderson's plot for the movie adaptation includes a knight from Transylvania hiding from the Turkish Army in Dracula's castle.

We've been waiting for the movie port of a beloved video game franchise, Castlevania. Well, this bit of news might bring us a step closer to seeing it on the silver screen.

Previous reports that "Alien vs. Predator" director Paul W.S. Anderson will take the director's seat have been busted as he has indeed stepped aside to direct the remake of Death Race instead. Enter Sylvain White, director of "Stomp the Yard". Reportedly, the director will be taking home a seven-figure paycheck for the Castlevania project.

The Castlevania movie is co-produced by Rogue Pictures and Crystal Sky Entertainment and will start shooting this fall. According to Variety, the movie will be shot in South Africa and Romania. Anderson will be penning the script for the movie which centers on the fight between Vlad the Impaler and the Belmont family.

White is enthused about the Castlevania movie, saying, "Most of the vampire films have been present or set in the future, from 'Blade' to 'Underworld,' and I was attracted by the chance to make a dark, epic period movie that almost has an anime feel to it."

The movie based on Konami's video game series will be coming to theaters in late 2008. We'll wait for further developments and keep you posted.

Yes, there's going to be a Castlevania movie and yes, we'll let you know everything about the man behind it, but first we'll start with the news that prompted this little article. In a recent interview with horror movie enthusiast website Bloody Disgusting, the man at the helm of the planned Castlevania flick, Paul W.S. Anderson let the following be known about the films plot:

"It will integrate Dracula's origin story with the story of the Belmonts,[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."

So at least we know Dracula's in the movie, and we know we'll see the Belmonts, and whip, calming stuff. What's a little alarming is where he Anderson remarks that "This will be a whole new spin to Castlevania." Without getting too worked up over a simple comment, it's always a scary proposition when a Hollywood filmmaker decides to put a new spin on cherished time honored material, mario-bros/2427" id="tag" title="">Super Mario Bros. The Movie anyone?  Paul W.S. Anderson has made a career of directing videogame movie adaptations, and while he's hardly a remarkable film maker he's had some reasonable success... and his name doesn't end in Boll.
