Torture porn poster child,
SAW creator, James Wan, is apparently to get co-writing and directing duties on the forthcoming
Castlevania movie, if you believe what he says to
Bloodydisgusting.com.
Apparently the "East-meets-West tone" and the vampire killer whip are what drew Wan to the project.
He is, of course, "thrilled by the opportunity to make a highly stylized, fantasy, action film that focuses on the gothic storyline and the cool, anime-like characters."
Currently, IMDB has Sylvain White (
I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer) down in the director's chair. Paul W.S. Anderson (
Resident Evil and
Death Race) and Ian Jeffers (
Death Sentence) will be joining Wan at the word processor.
Well, at least it's not Uwe Boll or Lars von Trier...
