Paul W.S. Anderson leaves Castlevania movie project |
Ó
Paul William Scott Anderson is a film director, famous for science fiction movies and for movie adaptations of video games. His body of work includes "Mortal Kombat," "Event Horizon," "Resident Evil" (he also wrote, but didn't direct, the sequels - "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" and "Resident Evil: Extinction"), and "Alien vs. Predator." Anderson was also one of the producers on "DOA: Dead or Alive."Paul W.S. Anderson was expected to write and direct the upcoming "Castlevania" movie. But not anymore. At least that's what "a very reliable source" told Dread Central, the horror movie and videos news site:
The film, based on the long-running video game franchise from Konami, has been in development hell since it was first announced, but Anderson's always been on as director and writer. Apparently either he didn't like where the project was going or didnÂ’t feel like waiting anymore, because now he's off all together.
Most of Anderson's movies have been love-it-or-hate-it pieces of work. "Soldier" got heavy criticism, and even his financially profitable movies like "Resident Evil" and "Alien vs. Predator" got pooh-poohed by fans of their respective franchises.
Some of us here at QJ.NET believe that not all the criticism against Anderson is fair (some of us think the criticisms against his movies are a bit exaggerated), but we can't help but wonder if there's truth in what Dread Central had to say:
You know a project is in trouble when Paul W.S. Anderson, a man who's spent almost his entire career turning potentially cool movies into steaming piles of pooh, leaves a film.
To the fans of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow or Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (both for the DS), the classic Castlevania with Simon Belmont (on Wii Virtual Console), or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Xbox Live Arcade), or the countless other versions of Castlevania (over two dozen games in the series!)... you fans may agree with us when we say this: yes, sometimes movie adaptations suck, but we're fans, and we'll be lining up for premiere tickets. See you there!

first.
yusss, this tool has ruiend resident evil movies to its fullest he should just leave video game films alone
The writer is correct, this movie is gonna be worst than any of the other crap he's mad. At least he's not as bad as Mr Boll.
Anderson made the first Mortal Kombat that was good resident evil film was pretty god but the second one sucked balls I can't believe they made nemesis a giant *****. Thank god he leaving this hes one *****ty video game movie director.
All those movies mentioned in the article were pretty bad (RE is a fun movie, but fun does not = good). Don't even get me started about DOA, almost as bad as Boll's stuff. If those are the best this guy can do, then good riddance.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THIS *****ING *****TY
WRITER AND DIRECTORS MOVIES SUCK *****ING
SAGGY LONG HAIRY BALLS - LOOK AT THAT LIST AND
TELL ME YOU LIKE THOSE MOVIES!!!!!
WE NEED A GREAT DIRECTOR, OR WRITER TO DO THIS MOVIE.
Boll offered Anderson money, so that Boll could diret the movie and turn it into something really crappy.
That is because no film director gives a s^*# about making a movie that is close to the video game's that we play. All they care about is making money off the movie projects. I know for a fact that I will not see DOA, Halo or any f*%^ing video game based movie because I know that it just going to be ass raped by some retarded hollywood director!
What is this trend?
Peter Jackson not wanting to make 100 million off the new Hobbit movie because New Line ripped him 1 million on Return of the King?
Bryan Singer decides to leave X-Men 3 in the hands of noobs so he can be flighty and go do Superman Returns?
Come on guys.
Resident Evil movie was ok is what i ment to say yesterday.
CASTLEVANIA MOVIE.
Paul WS Anderson has left Castlevania because he making bad movies based on video games He did a good job on Resident Evil movies and directed the first Mortal Kombat movie and he also produced DOA;Dead or Alive which it was a failure.
Crystal Sky is producing Castlevania and working on Tekken,I don't like the ideas that Crystal Sky has got the Amercian director and screenwriters for the Tekken movie.
Castlevania better be good.
Thank You.
