Adi Shankar, who was the executive producer of Dredd, Machine Gun Preacher, The Grey, and Broken City, has announced that he will be producing a “super violent” mini-series based upon the 1989 NES game Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse. Furthermore, this series will be animated by Frederator, the team behind Fairly Odd Parents and Adventure Time, and will be influenced by titles such as Akira, Ghost In The Shell, and Ninja Scroll.

Shankar announced via his Facebook page:

[INDENT]I’m producing a super violent Castlevania mini-series with my homies Fred Seibert and Kevin Klonde. It’s going to be dark, satirical, and after a decade of propaganda it will flip the vampire sub-genre on its head.[/INDENT]

Collider caught up Shankar, who told them that, “There will be a [lots of gore]. The goal is to bring hard hitting anime to the America and be America’s first animated series for adults.

When it comes to the music, which is a rather iconic aspect of the original Castlevania games, Shankar explained:

[INDENT]The first thing I thought about was music and how we needed to avoid the traditional sword-and-sandal orchestra cliche and use the heavy metal electro guitar vibe found in the early games.
[/INDENT]
Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse is the prequel to the original Castlevania game. It follows Trevor Belmont as he aims to defeat Dracula with the help of Alucard and Syhpa Belnades.

Sounds like it could be pretty rad if done right.

EROTIC VIOLENCE

[Apollo the Just]

this sounds like one of those things i will absolutely 100% watch because it will either be really good and therefore enjoyable, or really bad and therefore enojoyable.

I'm in either way.

[Swordmaster Link]

This sounds awesome, I'm definitely in.

[Kil'jaeden]

Can't it just have a normal amount of violence?

I didn't know that pachinko could be so intense.

MY INTEREST IS PIQUED

Fairly Odd Parents? So this isn't anime.

Interest = zero.

I'd put a gif here, but it's not safe for anyone who's played Castlevania, and that's everyone here.

[LOOT]

I can see it now

Trevor, utilizing a whip made entirely out of spikes and all gritty

Grant, a blood-thirsty rogue that stabs right in the face

Alucard, utilizing the powers of Hell itself received from his awesome-yet-dark curse

And Sypha, with... GUN.
