Dread Central reports that Paul W.S. Anderson is no longer writing or directing Rogue Pictures' Castlevania, the $50 million video game adaptation produced and co-financed by Crystal Sky Entertainment.

Anderson instead will be concentrating his efforts on developing the Death Race 3000, the remake of Death Race 2000, says the site.

Anderson's Castlevania script spanned many time periods but mostly took place in 15th century Transylvania. It was a fresh take on the much-filmed Dracula legend, mining back to its genesis in the story of the Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler.

this COULD be a good thing...

Someone kill Uwe Boll please. And Paul Anderson, stick him in a dungeon. Hes destroyed Aliens and Predator enough. I mean a Predator sucking face with a human? WTF kind of scene is that? Let him make My Little Pony or Mortal Kombat 4.

the trick is getting them both in the same place. then you can hit the lever which sends them sailing down into a pit of their worthless broken dvd shards.

At least hes off Castlevania. No messing up a great videogame from my childhood.
