Paul Anderson originally was the writer of the Castlevania script. Until the studio decided they needed a rewrite. Now the creative genius behind the Saw films is on board. When asked about Castlevania, Anderson (who is still on board as a producer) had this to say:
“One of the things with Castlevania is it’s not just about the creatures but the environment trying to get to you as well," he explained. "I think [Wan] is a terrific choice [to rewrite the script] because a key part of Castlevania is the intensity of being trapped within the confines of the castle, and he’s shown with Saw that he excels with intensity in confined spaces.”
This is good news for you ComicBookMovie Horror fans out there. The Saw films were well written and Wan seems to be a master of setting up tight spaces for his victims to escape from. It will be nice to see what Wan can come up with for Belmont to escape. Hopefully they make Dracula a ruthless bad ass like he is portrayed in the video game.
No filming date has been released with Paul Anderson himself saying Castlevania is still in pre production.
