Full article: Dimension Films has closed a North American distribution deal on Castlevania, the previously announced movie based on the Konami vampire video-game franchise, Variety reported. Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil) will adapt and direct.

The studio closed a deal at 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 7 with Crystal Sky Pictures' Steven Paul and Benedict Carver, who'd just bought rights from the video-game maker, the trade paper reported.

Dimension's Bob Weinstein, Richard Saperstein, Michael Cole and Matt Stein crashed a private dinner party on Nov. 4 that Crystal Sky organized so Anderson could meet overseas buyers. By dessert, Crystal Sky altered its plan to broker the domestic rights deal later. Weinstein had a Saturday meeting with Anderson, and production head Saperstein led an eight-hour marathon negotiating session with Crystal Sky's Carver that culminated in the late-night deal, the trade paper reported.

Anderson is also writing and will produce Resident Evil 3.
