    Jigsaw visits Castlevania

    http://movies.ign.com/articles/100/1006536p1.html

    July 22, 2009 - Comic-Con has barely begun but the news is starting to pour in, including this tidbit about the oft-rumored film adaptation of the popular Konami videogame Castlevania. Word has it that James Wan, the co-creator of the Saw franchise and director of the first film in that series, will be co-writing and directing the Castlevania film for producer Paul W.S. Anderson.

    Anderson has long been attached to the film and was expected to direct for a time (eventually taking more of a producer role when Sylvain White came on as the expected helmer), but now Bloody-Disgusting has the inside word direct from Wan himself.

    "I'm very fresh on this project, so it's early stages and I'm still trying to work things out, but the producers love my vision for it," Wan tells the site. "I'll be working on the script with a writer to give it a new spin, different to the previous versions. This will have my stamp on it which Konami is very excited about."

    Interestingly, it was reported back in 2007 that Death Sentence screenwriter Ian Jeffers was rewriting Anderson's Castlevania script. Death Sentence, of course, was directed by Wan, though it's not clear whether or not Jeffers is the writer Wan is referring to.

    "The thing I love about what Konami did with Castlevania was taking the iconic Dracula mythology and Eastern-European setting, and retelling it with a Japanese pop-cultural sensibility," says Wan. "That's the East-meets-West tone I want to visually expand on for the film. I'm thrilled by the opportunity to make a highly stylized, fantasy, action film that focuses on the gothic storyline and the cool, anime-like characters. For once, the human hero is as sexy and dangerous as the vampire villain, and his weapon of choice was what attracted me to the project in the first place -- The Vampire Killer Whip."

    The key word is Saw. Not the other fucking Saw's, Saw. A low-budget masterpiece.

    This is going to be great if it falls through.

    too be honest I did not like Saw 1, but I dig his other works Death Sentence and Dead Silence. Castlevania was awesome for the SNES and i hope they do it justice

    If you consider Saw a 'masterpiece' then I suggest you view more films.

    While I certainly wouldn't consider Saw a masterpiece in any shape or form, I found it to be fairly enjoyable. I wouldn't write this off completely, i'll wait for a trailer before i dump all over this.

    The firs Saw was very good, the sequels got worse as they progressed.
    Video Game movies are at best mediocre, this will be no different.
    "anime style" = super cheesy
