Devil May Cry Netflix Creator Has Good Advice For Bloodborne Movie Team
Adi Shankar has had success in adapting video games into animation, having worked on multiple seasons of Castlevania alongside Konami and Netflix, as well as with Ubisoft for Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. More recently, he has been collaborating with Capcom on Devil May Cry, the first season of which launched on Netflix in 2025 to a largely favorable reception.
Now, with its second season, Shankar and team are delving deeper into the story of Dante and Vergil, as the two characters come to grips with their origins, the divergent paths their lives took following a family tragedy, and how their two perspectives shape them and the fate of a world that hangs in the balance. It also embraces Devil May Cry 2, the video game series' most divisive entry.
Of course, with as much experience as Shankar has in taking video game source material and adapting it for animation, we would be remiss not to get his perspective on the latest high-profile announcement of a similar project: Sony's adaptation of From Software's Bloodborne.

Mixtape boldly asks its players to make memories to good music, mixing its coming-of-age story with a head-banging soundtrack filled with the likes of Devo, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. It’s the sophomore release from Beethoven & Dinosaur, an Australian developer known for The Artful Escape, a psychedelic exploration of a musician wanting to create his stage persona.
Mixtape is a little more down to earth, following music lovers Stacey, Cass, and Slater on Stacey’s final night in their small town before she follows her dreams and moves to New York. Our reviewer Mark Delaney gave it a 9/10, praising how the game pairs “its heartfelt, often hilarious moments with a sweeping soundtrack to create a coming-of-age story I'll never forget.” GameSpot caught up with Mixtape’s director Johnny Galvatron earlier this year to discuss Beethoven & Dinosaur’s approach to making the game.

Hollywood writer Jeremy Slater is back in the news with Mortal Kombat 2, which is in theaters now. He wrote the 2021 movie as well and is nearly done with a second draft for Mortal Kombat 3. But what else is he keen to do in the future? There is one franchise above all others that he wants to get to work on some day: Star Wars.
He told The Hollywood Reporter that he has already taken meetings with Lucasfilm, and he admitted he "nerded out to an embarrassing degree." He hasn't landed anything yet, though, and he said he wouldn't want to sign on to a Star Wars project unless he felt like he could do it justice.
"Star Wars has always been my white whale. It's always been the one thing that I've been chasing above all else, but I also don't want to take a job unless I can deliver," he said. "I can't think of anything more depressing and terrifying than getting your shot at Star Wars and then dropping the ball."
