Paul Anderson, the dude behind the Resident Evil and AvP movies, was initially set to direct the film. However, he is now working on Death Race, his upcoming non-game movie.

Meanwhile, White was reportedly offered a huge amount of money for the film. He is also in talks to develop Static and Ronin, a movie based on the Frank Miller graphic novel. The film is being co-produced by Rogue Pictures and Crystal Sky Entertainment.

Castlevania will follow the story of Vlad the Impaler and the Belmont Family, a clan that unleashed the original vampire and battles to defeat him.
