Love him or hate him, Variety is reporting that Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson, has been confirmed to be co-writing and directing the upcoming Universal Studios backed Spy Hunter film. The film, which has experienced repeated set backs in the past, was originally set to star The Rock but it's not known whether he will be involved in this current iteration.

I really don't know how to feel about this. There seems to be quite a large margin of suck factor. But, what the hell do I know, I actually kinda liked the Resident Evil movie. Granted, it's in the same way I like Showgirls and Starship Troopers, but that's another story for another day... Flynn De Marco

/FILM gives us a gander at the teaser poster for the upcoming Castlevania flick directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. Ok, the image is very moody and foggy... wait, "Dracula Begins" ? Oh boy, this is going to get ugly.

After supposedly being dropped by Dimension films over a disagreement about Mr. Anderson's less than stellar script, Universals' Rouge Pictures has picked up the project. A lot of people have dogged Anderson and talked about what terrible movies he makes. I wholeheartedly agree. In general his movies are large piles of crap on stale toast not fit for human or animal consumption.

There is that small side of me though that loves the guilty pleasure I get watching the D movie antics of Resident Evil in all it's crappy Saturday afternoon matinee glory. I get the same warm (read:nauseous) feeling watching those RE zombies eat human flesh as I do watching Elizabeth Berkeley devour that hamburger in Showgirls. There's no doubt in my mind that the Castlevania movie will suck, I just hope it sucks in the most cinematically awesome way. Flynn De Marco
