								Crystal Sky Pictures has signed a financing deal with production firm Grosvenor Park worth $200 million -- cash that will be used for the company's upcoming films based on Castlevania and Pac-Man, reports Variety
The Castlevania flick, currently slated for a 2009 release, was penned by Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, DOA: Dead or Alive) and will be directed by Sylvain White (Stomp The Yard).
Wired.com spoke to Castlevania game producer Koji Igarashi about the film last year.
I'd like to speculate on how one creates a plot based on Pac-Man's premise of a yellow circle being chased through a maze by pixelated ghosts, but there's just no way to do it. They'd have better luck writing a film about a bag of sand.
Additional films seeing cash from this deal include a biographical look at Virgin mogul Richard Branson, as well as a remake of John Woo's classic action flick Hard Boiled.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.glinkster.com/link_detail.php?id=4524"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.glinkster.com/img/333CECE2-457D-46F5-BC4F-00565F0892B7" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2F3610FE-AEA8-4B08-8DB2-89CF8540E710/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
