Castlevania, the blog.
There’s been a lot of blogerator attention for Castlevania: Dracula’s Curse because superstar writer Warren Ellis is writing the direct-to-DVD animated movie and the blog.
Personally I’m thrilled because it’s a production of our sister company Frederator Studios. My colleague, executive producer Kevin Kolde, is not only a long time animation producer (Spumco, Ape Escape, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!) but a longer time video game fan, and he’s been determined to make superior animated interpretions of video games for years. Castlevania and Ape Escape are only his first forays into the genre.
Read the blog, you’ll be happy you did.

Fred is Frederator Studios part of producing Castlevania? “it’s a production of our sister company Frederator Studios” Also Fred, why do you refer to Fredstudios as a sister company? It seems almost as if fred studios isnt in your ownership, like it’s a company not under your control. I hope this isnt the case.. maybe you can clarify that for me.

Steve, I was writing on the Channel Frederator blog. Most of our viewers know the channel, but not necessarily that we’re in the cartoon *making* business. Just giving them the heads up.

Fred Seibert + Warren Ellis = Greatest animated film ever? I think, maybe, yes.
Also, how is James Jean involved — seems to be doing concept art — Fred, how did you line up all my favorite people from comics for this project?

Tim, that should read “Kevin Kolde + Warren Ellis + (really quietly) Frederator Studios”. Kevin’s the brilliant one here, first choosing Castlevania, then James for concept art, then Warren, and now more conceptual artists I’m sure you’ll love.

WOW! Castlevania was one of my favorite games on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). Very awesome news!
