A Super Violent ‘Castlevania’ Animated Mini-Series Is On The Horizon!

The timing on this news couldn’t be MORE poignant, since on this week’s Geekscape we asked you what Nintendo series would you like seen made into a movie and by which director. While not a NINTENDO first party, Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is getting moved onto celluloid!

Producer Adi Shankhar (Power/Rangers, Punisher: Dirty Laundry, Voices) has a flair for the violent and over the top. So when it was announced that he was joining up with animation house Frederator (Adventure Time, Fairly OddParents, Chalkzone) we couldn’t have been more excited!

In an interview with Collider this morning, Shankar said:

There will be a lot [Violence]. The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to the America and be America’s first animated series for adults.

He went on to say that he wants the show to have the look and feel of classic Anime’s like Akira and Ninja Scroll.

I can’t be MORE hype for this project! Shankar really knows how to bring out the good in his projects, and fans of Castlevania III are all much older now and can appreciate the extra violence he is sure to bring.

No word on release date or anything, but keep an eye out here on Geekscape because you can GUARANTEE I will be keeping you up on the project!
