Paul WS Anderson has confirmed that he is still in line for a Castlevania movie.

The Resident Evil: Retribution director said that an adaptation of the long-running video game franchise is still in the works.

"I'm still very excited about potentially turning Castlevania into a movie," he told IGN.

"Making video game movies, it's not the easiest thing in the world," he continued. "I think a lot of studios think it is, and that's why there are so many unsuccessful adaptations."

Anderson said that a successful adaptation needs to please the gaming fans but also appeal to a wider audience.

"It's something that takes time to get right," he said. "We've got no interest in making a Castlevania movie until it's something we can get really right."

Anderson has been attached as writer and producer for the Castlevania project since the movie rights were acquired seven years ago.

Resident Evil: Retribution will be released on September 14 in the US, and September 28 in the UK.
