Warren Ellis to Script Castlevania Animated Movie

Today is a good day to be a gamer. A Castelvania loving gamer, to be more specific (and aren’t we all). In a turn against the odds, it has been announced that the Castlevania Animated movie just might not suck. That’s because Warren Ellis will be penning the animated flick.

Also, I got the nod to say what the animated D2DVD movie I’m writing is called. It’s called CASTLEVANIA. Based on the long running series of video games. For an entity currently known only as Project 51 Productions. A production blog will follow on the official site.

It’s about time we got a decent writer on a video game based movie. Trust me, having Ellis on this puppy is an amazing move. Let’s hope the art direction and animation live up to the script.

Also, just as cool, James Jean has done some concept artwork for the movie. Click the following link to see it. I hope Jean is doing a lot of work for the movie and they release an art book. I’d be all over that.
