It looks like the movie version of Castlevania, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (of Aliens vs. Predator infamy), has been put on hold indefinitely. With luck that means this dog will never see the light of day, but bad movies have a way of completing themselves in spite of all odds.
What this means for other pending video game adaptations is debatable, but I doubt the cancellation of one beleaguered project headed by an unsuccessful director is indicative of the state of the video game movie industry. I’m still hoping I get awarded the rights to the Twinkle Star Sprites adaptation.

ugh AVP…
Just because I sometimes wonder how the mind of a Crunch Gear writer works, why AVP? I mean, this being a story about a director adapting a video game to a movie, I would think that Resident Evil, or Mortal Kombat would be more relevant to the story than AVP. It doesn’t really matter one way or the other, but I’m just curious why you went with AVP when it isn’t his most recent movie, isn’t his most famous movie, and isn’t the most relevant movie.
Because Mortal Kombat was so bad it was good, and Resident Evil was popular enough to make a second one. AVP was the only UTTER failure.

The area over the back wheel, in some of the photos, seems like it can be traced back to the Studebaker Avanti. ,
