Don't get me wrong. I think it's very possible to convert the game to film. Really, all you would need is a guy named Belmont with a whip, a guy named Dracula, and a castle to make it "accurate." Everything else in the movie would come from various embellishments. In the hands of a more capable director a Castlevania movie could kick ass. In the hands of Paul Anderson, though, we're going to get something between Van Helsing and Underworld.
