Castlevania finds director... don't get too excited.

200px-castlevanie110606.jpgI think Castlevania has the potential to be a really great movie but unfortunately the $50 million budgeted adaptation of the video game has either script problems or the studio's take on the direction they want the film to go in is terrible. I say this because hack director Paul W.S. Anderson dropped out of the flick in March. So they've had three months to find someone and what do they come up... Sylvain White. The guy who directed the straight to video mess that was I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer and the universally trashed Stomp the Yard. Way to go guys. So we have White directing a script by Anderson. That's scary... I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight! White has become almost the go-to-guy when a studio loses it's director for a project, as he is developing Frank Miller's Ronin after Darren Aronofsky pulled out and also he is set to work on Static, a project originally conceived for Guy Ritchie. source - variety
