Castlevania is a live-action film adaptation in production based on the video game series Castlevania. Sylvain White will direct and write the film. Paul W.S. Anderson was previously attached to the project as a director and writer, but conceded his directing duties to pursue a remake of Death Race 2000. Production of Castlevania will begin in late fall 2007 in South Africa and Romania. The film is slated for a late 2008 release. A Transylvanian knight and his men seek refuge in a gothic castle. They soon discover that the castle is controlled by the original vampire, Vlad the Impaler. The... awakening of the vampire leads to a generational clash between Vlad and the Belmont clan, who seek to defeat him. In November 2005, Crystal Sky Pictures acquired the rights to adapt the video game series Castlevania for the big screen. The company attached Paul W.S. Anderson to write and direct the film adaptation, with production slated to begin in mid-2006. Later in the month, Dimension Films entered negotiations with Crystal Sky for North American distribution of Castlevania. The film adaptation was estimated to have a budget of $50 million.
