Warren Ellis planning on three Castlevania films

The
official blog of the straight-to-DVD
animated Castlevania film that
Warren Ellis is writing has become a veritable minefield of information for fans to stagger across and then be blown up by. For example: Ellis (the genius behind comics like
Planetary and
Transmetropolitan) feels that the story of the film, which is based on
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, should be broken into
three chunks. Also, pirate Grant DeNasty
won't be included, or at least not in the first 80-minute film.
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.
