Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 flexes Hollywood cast

Robb Stark! Robert Carlyle! Patrick Awesome Stewart!

Here's Pat with Drac earlier in their careers.

Bet Konami paid handsomely for this lot - this Hollywood lot featured in a new Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 video.

That Dracula, he's Robert Carlyle, best known as Hamish Mac... wait, no, as Begbie, the beer glass-slinging maniac in Trainspotting.

There's also Patrick "Charles Xavier Jean Luc Picard" Stewart, who continues to be magnificent, and who'll play the role of Zobek.

Castelvania: Lords of Shadow 2 kicks off its coffin lid on 28th Feb, on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
