Paul Anderson, the man behind movies like Alien VS Predator (hated it), Event Horizon (loved it), Mortal Kombat (liked it) and the upcoming Resident Evil flick, Apocalypse, is all set to step behind the camera for Castlevania, the movie, based on the game of the same name. The movie’s budget is estimated to be nearly $50 million and will be produced and co-financed by Crystal Sky Entertainment. According to Anderson, the movie will span various periods even though a lot of it will take place in 15th century Transylvania.

“It’s an action/horror project in the vein of Underworld and Blade, and hopefully it will be a big franchise for us”, saod Rogue (distributors of the film) co-president Andrew Ron.

Expect a cameo by Wesley Snipes… not!

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
