Variety is reporting that Rogue Pictures has halted CASTLEVANIA, the live-action adaptation of the Konami vampire videogame that it is co-producing with Crystal Sky Entertainment. Sylvain White (STOMP THE YARD) was set to direct, and production was slated to begin in April in South Africa. The trade tell us that the script for the film needed a lot of work that would not be possible at the moment due to the Writers Guild strike. The trade further reports: CASTLEVANIA, with a script by Paul W.S. Anderson, may not seem as high profile as those other pictures, but it is the most ambitious project attempted by Rogue, the genre arm of Focus Features. Script sets up a generational battle between Vlad the Impaler and members of the family that inadvertently unleashed the first vampire. Crap, I was really looking forward to the film since it's a game that I used to play like crazy when I was still young and beautiful. Anyway, for the whole article hit this link.
