* FanNickname: It's being widely refered to as "VideoGame/CastlevaniaLordsOfShadow: TheMovie."



* FranchiseKiller: The movie was originally going to be the start of a shared universe involving the various Universal monsters. The idea was scrapped when the overall reception wasn't to Universal's liking...Although their second attempt, ''The Mummy'', fared worse.



* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: It's been tossed around in one form or another since 2007. Initially called Dracula Year Zero, Sam Worthington was set to star before development hell set in and the film restarted under a new name with a new lead. Alex Proyas, director of ''Film/TheCrow'', was originally lined up as director.

Cox does [[spoiler:resemble Caligula, who died young, much more]] compared to Dance, so it's understandable why that element was ultimately dropped.
