Crystal Sky Entertainment topper Steven Paul ("Ghost Rider") is producing.
The project centers on the battle between Dracula and the Belmont clan of vampire hunters in a labyrinthine fortress in the Carpathian mountains.
Wan's first film was "Saw," followed by "Dead Silence" and "Death Sentence," which Jeffers scripted. Wan completed a comedy short, "Doggie Heaven," last year.
"Castlevania" debuted as a vidgame in Japan in 1986. Crystal Sky acquired the feature rights in 2005 and attached Paul W.S. Anderson to direct, followed by Sylvain White in 2007, with Rogue co-producing, but the project stalled during the WGA strike.
Wan's attachment was first reported by the Bloody Disgusting website.
