Netflix’s “Castlevania” Cast Includes “Preacher’s” Saint of Killers as Dracula!
Netflix’s animated “Castlevania” series is premiering on July 7, 2017, and yet we haven’t heard a peep about the cast.
Producer Adi Shanker took to YouTube to reveal the full cast behind the four 30-minute episodes that were inspired by the classic video game series that introduces the man that killed Dracula.
While a few names have already been shared, the full cast includes Richard Armitage (“Hannibal”) as Trevor Belmont, James Callis (“Battlestar Galactica”) as Alucard, with Fred Tatasciore, Alejandra Reynoso, Emily Swallow.
The coolest reveal, however, is that Graham McTavish , who can be seen on AMC’s “Preacher” as the Saint of Killers (above), is starring as Dracula!
“Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself.
The animated series is written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert, and Adi Shankar.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
