Aint It Cool News and CC2K have brought us the first ever script review of Paul W. S. Anderson’s new Castlevania movie, and it’s about as ugly as Medusa. The reviewer predicts, “I have no doubt it will crash and burn like so many of its predecessors.” Harsh words, and a bad omen for the director of the Resident Evil films, Mortal Kombat, and Aliens. vs. Predator.

Apparently this draft of Castlevania reads like a bad clone of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but even worse, the legendary chain whip plays almost no part. Instead, it’s been replaced by a sword. WTF?

This script analysis is definitely worth a read– if you don’t mind the heavy, heavy spoilers. This draft sounds pretty disappointing, but I’ll wait until we learn a little more about the movie, like who’s in the cast, and what kind of art style they go for, before deciding if I’ll see it in theaters or wait for it to be on cable.
