Van Helsing Film Reboot Confirmed

The fantasy hero will return in a new form...
It's safe to say that Hugh Jackman's incarnation of fantasy film hero Van Helsing didn't exactly go down a storm back in 2004, as we've yet to see a sequel to that troubled first outing. Producer Alex Kurtzman has revealed, though, that the new film for the character that has been announced will in fact be a reboot. Here's what he had to say on behalf of Universal Pictures: "Well, I don't want to give away too much, because we are actually at the very beginning of talking about what to do with it. I think that these kinds of movies have evolved a lot since [2004]. You know, The Dark Knight was a major, major corner-turning moment in the way that genre and superhero stories could be told. Really grounded in reality. Really grounded in really cool things. That's what I'd like to do without sacrificing the fantasy element." Van Helsing is likely to get either a 2014 or 2015 release date depending on the speed of progression on the project in the next year or so.
