I guess all of you should know there's a new Castlevania movie in the works now. But just who do you want to as the cast members and what do you hope to see in the movie? I have listed some things that you guys might or might not want them in the movie. Discuss them here..

1) Origins of Dracula and the Belmont clan. Maybe they can start the movie off with a fight scene of Leon and Dracula and show Leon defeating Dracula, than fast forward to the present with Simon Belmont as the lead character

2) Besides Dracula what other villians would you also like to see in the movie? Death, Medusa, The Mummy,  Frankenstein etc.... Death would be my pick

3) What subweapons will be in the movie?? I personally think that the sword will not be in the movie. Holy water and Crosses would pretty much be my choice

4) Alucard??? I think Alucard would not be in this, it's way to early and they could probably save it for the sequel

5) Music....I want Bloody Tears!!!

6) Cast members. This is an interesting one, I wonder who will they cast for the role of Dracula. I would love to see Keira Knightley or Kate Beckinsale as the love interest of the hero. But I guess it's highly unlikely

What do you guys think??

Music:Bloody Tears for sure, however they should have it in a full new version (maybe heavy guitar or something exciting, something that will take the people off their chairs and feel the power! :D) Also they should have the Catacomb music from CotM but revamped up.

Plot: I am agreeing with you on this one, they really need to have origins of Dracula and the Belmont clan, they should also go all the way up to the end of two to better explain the story of those games.

Casting: Incredibly difficult one here. If Tom Cruise could actually do as good as he was in The Last Samurai then sure I would like to see him, Vin Diesel(sp?).....yeah right lol! Maybe Pierce Brosnan (sp?) to ensure the british sort of thing. As for Dracula... Sean Connary I think he would be a sweet Dracula...

That is it for now... I will post if I get more ideas

Killing yourself isn't the best way to convince people not to make the movie. Hunger-striking, now there's the way to go.

That would be nice, the noly way to make a video-game movie is by using the extremes. Either just play the game, or make it entirely unrelated to the game in question except for the name and basic atmospheric details.

Hunger strikes require effort on my part. I'd rather just take a really long nap. Besides, i've been meaning to catch up with the sleep i've been missing for the past few years anyways.

You could pay people to hunger-strike for you, that might work.

So?

Anyways, if it ever does come out I'll probably go see it and comment loudly on things which are incorrect or should have been done differently. If I'm lucky it might even be good. It'll probably be the former idea though which is actually entertainment on it's own.

movie: bad idea

great creation: probrably destroyed

characters: the guy from van helsing, just because he's not a good actor and he's probrably low budget.

good alternatives to seeing this movie: seeing pong the movie.

What’s with this sudden VG movie binge? Metroid, Halo, Silent Hill, Mortal Kombat 3, Castlevania... Did I miss anything? (Would say FF VII AC...but it isn’t live action… and its made by the same company)... the best suggestion for the movie would be to scrap the idea OR do what they did for Advent Children... a movie made by Konami... all 3D animation... or even an anime type movie would be cool (Like Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust).

If they were to make a movie done by the same team that did Blood Lust i'd have some hope since i'm relativly certain the people behind that couldn't screw something up to the point that it was unwatchable. As for Advent Children, it's a cash grab ment to snare FF7 Fanboys/girls. My exgirlfriend is one of those people. She never played the game, never had a playstation nothing, yet proclaims it to be an awesome game because she thinks the protagonist is hot.

FFVII is probably the most over rated game ever... but still... the movie is pretty good. It was done right and enjoyable to watch unlike most other VG related movies. It should be the example for all VG movies to fallow... in my opinion.

Vampire Hunter D's aptmosphere and art style would be very fitting for Castlevania. Especially if you take into consideration that D is very similar to Alucard, their both half vampires, their Vampire fathers were both very powerful lords and both of them want to put an end to vampires terrorizing humans. Dawn of Sorrow on the other hand ... it's art work is about as appropriate as using south park to depict the crucifiction.

As I've said, Ayami Kojima's artwork is the only proper such for Castlevania it's stuck since Symphony of the Night, and for good reason. It's become respected and appreciated, even outside of gaming.

I've read two reasons: First, Ayami Kojima was focused on making artwork for "Curse of Darkness" and therebye, others took care of the artwork for "Dawn of Sorrow". Now, in theory Koji could have gotten someone to do similiar artwork, completely in style with Ayami's, but as he said "The DS is more of a children's console", so he figured he could get more childish graphics. Which is strange, since a large procentage of the enemies look anything but childish.

So even Konami is buying that "kids console" stigma ... not a good sign. At least the art work in CoD is decent, even if the rest of the game is too easy.

GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!! THIS IS REALLY STARTING TO PISS ME OFF! everyone is acting like the ds is a "kiddy" console! Well damn it to hell its not! im tired of hearing it said like that. the only reason the ds doesnt get the appreciation it deserves is because its not a cool hip multimedia center like psp! i swear everyone treats the ds like its done the best it can do!

Yea, i get pretty tired hearing people spout crap about how "Nintendo is for children". go smoke a cock system wars, nintendo has only slightly more children oriented titles than any other console maker, the only differance is that their "childrens" titles are usually more prominently advertized and actually get some pretty decent reviews.

I think at this point after Pokemon, Game Cube, and GBA, its hard for people to see otherwise. And now they think the same thing with the DS. I don’t think Nintendogs helps with its image either. Well... It would make sense if they wanted to make the art in Castlevania DS look childish... reminds me of one of those Saturday morning "anime" that they are showing these days.

The stupid thing is that I don't think that there are expecially many "children" who own the console. The ones I've seen either have an earlier version or a PSP. The DS is mostly purchased by the more "hard-core" gamer, by my experience.

Geus said it himself, "everyone wants a PSP because they are 'teh cool'". Most people i've seen with a PSP couldn't care less about the games and just like having a "slick looking" gaget with them.

It's kind of like the new iPod. The people who buy them buy them chiefly because they're iPods and also go around taunting people who don't have them, there are freaking iPod socks. Most of the people who do this, of course only have some form of identity crisis, and therefore feel the need to get the iPod just to fit in.

Yeah... anyways, this is very much off-topic. In general, the problem with game movies is that if you're trying to just make a direct port from the game, it won't work. It lacks the interactive woks which made the game great.

To make it good, you need to only keep the general feel intact, and then make an entirely different movie. This is mostly a bad idea as well, since people will complain that the game title was only there to get viewers.

Making games out of movies, however, can work great. It's just rare that it does.

It's the same with making movies out of books, you're lacking so much depth that you'd ahve gotten from the book, and you're limited to seeing that book from one person's perspective. Making books out of movies however, well that's a no brainer. You just dont' do that, because it almost never works. I hope this castlevania movie never happens ... it's just that simple.

 *insert screams of terror here* I just hope it isn’t as hacked up as this was. And I also hope that it will at least look somewhat decent... if they do decide to fallow through with it... which is a worse case scenario

Holy, no please not Knightly of Beckinscale. I love them both, but I wouldn't like to see them in a Castlevania movie. Besides Kate Beckinscale already did Van helsing and Underworld as vampire movies. Would be crappy to see her again...

I just hope Simon will be a hotty and that Michiru Yamane does the soundtrack!!!

It's getting made, like it or not. There have been a ton of rumors about it centering around a female Belmont, there being no whip, etc. Paul W.S. Anderson (responsible for Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Alien Vs Predator, and the newly released Death Race remake) is set to produce. He was on G4's Attack of the Show! last week to stump for Death Race, and was asked about the Castlevania movie. After joking about there being no whip, no castle and it being a romantic comedy, Anderson stated that the movie will center around Trevor and "has so much whipping it could be an S&M movie."

Apparently, there's been another director upheval.

http://comic-con.gamespot.com/story/6213963/saw-creator-whipping-up-castlevania-film-report

No oppinions as of yet, since I haven't seen any of the Saw films. I'm just glad the movie is still going to be made at all.
