Warren Ellis, salty-tongued screenwriter for the who-knows-when animated film based on Castlevania III, updated his production blog on the subject recently, indicating that things are moving along quite well. Very well, actually, as the folks at Konami didn’t seem to blush at the more mature themes of Ellis’ screenplay. Dialogue about the sexual violation of a goat? Cool. Lots of bad language? Just peachy, it seems. Ellis and company’s plans for “a film for adults” look like they’re shaping up.
Still, we’re a long way off from seeing Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse for ourselves, as Ellis points out.
Notes [Castlevania: Dracula's Curse]
The Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse production blog has been silent for the past month as animated film scribe Warren Ellis has been busying himself with Comic Con 07 appearances and, y’know, actual script writing.
Today, however, Ellis finally gives us a look at a portion of the screenplay’s first draft. While Trevor Belmont, the featured vampire hunter, is present but remains tight-lipped you’ll want to stick around for the goat fucking.
You read that right. Goat fucking. Looks like Warren isn’t looking to Captain N for his animated Belmont cues.
