Netflix Unveils The First Poster For Its Upcoming Series Adaption Of Castlevania

Earlier this month Netflix announced that an animated ‘Castlevania’ series is in the works which will be executive produced by Adi Shankar (The Grey). The poster for the series has now been released (above). On the red and black poster, which pays homage to the game series that show is based on, we see Dracula’s Gothic castle surrounded by bats. Shankar recently spoke with Dread Central and had this to say about the upcoming series: I’m a gamer. I’m a comic book guy and I’m a video game guy. It’s amazing to see all of the comic book tales beyond just origin stories get treated with respect. Video game adaptations are where comic book adaptations were in the mid-Eighties.

American Horror Story is going to be about the election that we just went through. And what I’m interested in doing is not just the obvious, single-minded point of view but rather express all sides of that equation. What needs to happen in our country now is for people to listen to each other – we may not always agree with each other and we may be horrified by what the other side is doing but we have to move toward understanding. So that’s one example of what I’m going to do. And then all of the stuff that I’m developing now is going to be about illuminating and
