‘Devil May Cry’ Animated Series Confirmed by ‘Castlevania’s’ Adi Shankar

Published

on

Devil May Cry Castlevania animated series

In an interview between Ari Shankar and IGN, Shankar disclosed that his next video game series adaptation will be Devil May Cry. In order to ensure that, as Shankar words it, “the jabronis in Hollywood don’t fuck this one up too”, he’s secured the rights for Devil May Cry. At the end of his interview, Shankar confirmed that Devil May Cry will join the Castlevania animated series in becoming part of the “Bootleg Multiverse”.

Shankar’s mention of the Bootleg Multiverse is in reference to his YouTube channel’s catalog of series and one-off shorts, however, Castlevania has been listed on the channel as a “universe” series, as opposed to a “multiverse” series (for now). There have been no confirmations concerning the plot, animation team, voice actors, expected release date, and designated streaming service as of yet.

Fans are left to speculate as to what liberties will be taken in this Devil May Cry adaptation, but it’s safe to assume that Shankar and Co. will be adapting the original (canon) DMC games, and not Ninja Theory’s DmC as evidence by the photo the showrunner uploaded today.

Those familiar with the Devil May Cry fandom may recall there was already an animated series by heavy hitter studio Madhouse, but it seems Shankar wants to adapt his own original series and on his own terms.

While there were narrative and character changes made to the Netflix Castlevania series Shankar produced, it turned out to be one of the better video game adaptations to come out in quite some time.

It’s possible that the “multiverse” Shankar told fans to speculate on could allude to a momentary crossover of the two series, especially if Powerhouse Animations Studios is brought on board to animate the adaptation; furthermore, this theoretical crossover could possibly establish itself by an interdimensional portal spell cast by Sypha, or Dante could simply make his way to Wallachia while hunting demons.

Truthfully, there may not even be a cross-over, and the two existing in a multiverse could mean there’s just a small reference to either series thrown into Devil May Cry‘s first season or Castlevania‘s third season. Ultimately, considering how motivated Shankar is to bring us a Devil May Cry adaptation, we’re definitely in for a killer series in the (hopefully) near future!

If you have not watched the Castlevania animated series, or if you have and would like to hear our thoughts, you can check out our season one or season two reviews, and also make sure to tell us what you think about the series!

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

In related news to the Terminator world, Linda Hamilton stated I’m done. I’m done. I have nothing more to say. The story’s been told, and it’s been done to death. Why anybody would relaunch it is a mystery to me. She claims she doesn’t want to play Sarah Connor anymore. You can check out more of what she said here.

If you were expecting another Paranormal Activity sequel to be a feature film you’d be surprised. Maybe there will be one, but for now, Variety reports that DreadXP co-director and creative director Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital) are creating a video game based on the series.

“We are thrilled to work with Paramount Game Studios and to have the opportunity to bring the world of ‘Paranormal Activity’ to gamers everywhere,” Epic Pictures CEO and DreadXP producer Patrick Ewald told Variety. “The films are steeped in rich lore and creative scares, and under the stewardship of creative director Brian Clarke, DreadXP’s ‘Paranormal Activity’ video game will honor those core tenets and offer horror fans one of our most terrifying games yet.”

Clarke, who worked on the horror video game The Mortuary Assistant said the Paranormal Activity franchise shows just how much reach a genre-specific title can accomplish, “If you thought ‘The Mortuary Assistant’ was scary, we’re taking what we learned during the development of that title and cranking it up with a more reactive and horrifying haunting system. It’s going to be intense!”

The new game is scheduled to be released in 2026.
