Okay I have heard today that Universal is looking at a possible Van Helsing II. The rumors claim it will not have Hugh Jackman Reprising his role, and it would be looked at as a prequel. I for one found the first one to be .........well ............ sigh... somewhat enjoyable. I start to question the studios when they begin extending films for the sake of trying to franchise it, or even worse stretch out a bad property. I.E. Scorpion King 2. If your are going to release a film, and hope to lead to other films, do the first one justice first. Does van Helsing need a sequel ? What does anyone else think ?
I would prefer a more Dark, period piece reboot instead. Although this sounds too much like the shelved Castlevania film. Actually scratch that too if you don't do that correctly. So With Universal in the recent years rebooting their horror films, Mummy, Van Helsing, and even the Upcoming Wolf Man. Can we expect a New Creature from the Black Lagoon too ??? The point is I can think of other ways for Universal to use their resources than making a sequel / remake to every hit, mediocre film , and flop. How about remastering some of the classics? Or releasing some of the films not made it to DVD , let alone Blue Ray?
Let me say this at least , I don't want someone thinking I am completely anti- remake ,sequel, prequel, side-quel or anything-quel. I just want them to tread carefully and do either first one right , or none at all. Here's to hoping if this does happen , they do it well. If not please focus on that Jurassic Park IV thats been in development hell. See told ya I am not anti sequel.
