Personally, I think Castlevania has tons of potential even if it is based on a video game.
I know I’m bias because I do like my Dracula movies, but a story that focus on the early years of the vampire and his days as the Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler is rarely focused on. And well, I like my Dracula movies.
Back in November, we told you the sad news that hack director Paul W.S. Anderson was to write and direct the movie adaptation of Castlevania for Rogue Pictures, with a huge budget of $50 million assigned.
Well thank God someone has come to their senses as Anderson is now booted off Castlevania. He is now said to be working on Death Race 300 which will either be a remake/sequel/prequel of the Sly Stallone/David Carradine cult classic Death Race 200.
Hey, who doesn’t love Death Race 200? Lots of fun, lots of sex and typical bad 70’s hairstyles!

First off you forgot a zero numerous times, a sad error for a half wit critic. I say half wit because first off you think that Castlevania has the possibility of success, which is slim to none. Secondly Anderson has done a hell of a lot better job than most people with said adaptations, not to mention he directed Event Horizon.
And by the way he opted for a producer position on Castlevania for various reasons.
