Project 51 and Castlevania
Project 51 Productions has acquired the worldwide animation rights to Konami's Castlevania series, and has plans for direct-to-DVD movies, a television series, and theatrical films, says GameDaily BIZ. Particular mention is made of an unnamed project featuring Eisner Award-winners Warren Ellis (writing) and James Jean (art direction). In the live-action realm meanwhile, Crystal Sky Pictures and Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Aliens vs. Predator) are working on a Castlevania movie that should premiere in 2007.
