Warren Ellis planning on three Castlevania films

There's a lot of encouraging info here, especially the post about making a film for adults, and it's well worth poring over. While there's still not a really clear picture of what sort of film this will be, it's already looking better than any videogame adaptation Uwe Boll has ever made. Of course, the same could be said of The Garbage Pail Kids Movie and it was based on trading cards. So hopefully Ellis has set his sights a bit higher than beating Boll.

"it's well worth pouring over"
Pouring what, exactly?

I would think the answer would obvious, Thad. Liquid grammar.

I still grieve for the live action castlevania movie, as it was to be based around Sonia Belmont.
And if you don't know who she is, she was the original belmont before IGA took over. IGA had her and her game (castlevania legends) removed from cannon.
Too bad, because her story made a hell of a lot more sense about the origin of the belmonts vampire hunting powers than the crap of Lament of Innocence.

Worse thing is, there'll probably be a game based on the movie.

Ugh. Castlevania: The Movie: The Game.
My head hurts.

@5 Think about the MiB games that were released awhile back. Those were games based on a animated series based on a movie based on a comic series.

I, for one I'm sure, am keeping my hopes up for this!
