Castlevania: The Movie. No Uwe Boll.


Well, since every decent Videogame franchise in the world, that has had any modicum of success, has been adapted into a hollywood movie. They have usually been butchered by the venerable Videogame director Uwe Boll. (Alone in the Dark, House of The Dead, Bloodrayne, Farcry, Hunter: The Reconing, Fear Effect.) Yes he has been confirmed to be taking on directing duties for the Postal movie adaptation with Gary Coleman as his lead. It doesnt get much more absurd than that.

At least one of my favorite franchises in gaming history Castlevania will not fall subject to his wonderful german craftsmanship. Another veteran "Videogame" Director has signed on for the castlevania project, Paul W. S. Anderson. (MortalCombat, Event Horizon, Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator.) I can only hope that it is more Event Horizon and less Alien vs. Predator. Either way, it will be hollywood schlock, hopefully he will at least give one character a whip.
