Castlevania? Thought that movie project was dead. Apparently not, and apparently Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Death Race, Mortal Kombat) is “waiting on a script.” Oh, and he’d like to adapt Metal Gear Solid for the silver screen, too.
That is according to Jeremy Bolt, who is Anderson’s co-producer on Resident Evil: Afterlife. Visiting that film’s set, the site ShockTillYouDrop.com says it spoke to Bolt, who “told us this morning that Paul W.S. Anderson is still circling video game adaptation Castlevania at Rogue Pictures and that they are waiting on a script.”
“Bolt added that he and Anderson would like to adapt Konami’s Metal Gear Solid for the big screen at Columbia Pictures,” ShockTillYouDrop.com added.
You can check out Paul W.S. Anderson’s filmography here but he ain’t no Bergman. Please note that none of this confirms Anderson has anything to do with the Metal Gear project.

Just be glad he gets to them first before uwe boll.

Monday, November 16, 2009 at 8:18 PMAlthough I do loath what the man did for the Resident Evil series, he’s not bad as an action director. All the same though, I would like someone else to do Metal Gear. W.S. Anderson isn’t exactly the most thoughtful filmmaker.
Peter Berg wouldn’t be so bad, after watching The Kingdom last night.

no way man, while I may be one of the few that don’t hate the guy, all his movies are nothing but explosions with an overlay filter of plot on top, NOT FOR METAL GEAR
