This is an older article, so I'm not sure if it was mentioned before - I didn't see anything after a search.
There's a Van Helsing reboot scheduled - and so far it seems that the project is going to involve Tom Cruise and the dudes who wrote Transformers, Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens - and have their fingers in a bunch of other nerd related projects.

Let's see.
Tom Cruise+Transformers+Cowboys&Aliens.
If that doesn't make me run for the hills, nothing will...
And I thought the original Van Helsing movie was bad....

People tend to say this a lot, but I watch A LOT of bad movies - often BECAUSE they're bad - so I don't mean this lightly: "Van Helsing" is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

It COULD have been great, but it's a horrible misfire all the way around. Jackman is likeable in almost everything, but not here. Staring at Kate Beckinsale doesn't even make it worth while. The new versions of the Universal monsters are horrible. Dracula may be the worst version put on screen. The Monster Squad had much better versions!
The only kind of Van Helsing movie I would like to see would follow the tone of Stoker's novel, and either take place before or after those events, or perhaps retell Dracula from Van Helsing's perspective alone.
For a good Van Helsing movie, go watch Hammer's "Brides of Dracula". Peter Cushing is the best Van Helsing, bar none.

the only things I liked in it were the opening bit with Hyde and the design of the Frankenstein Monster. Universal found the only missing ingredient to make it worse: Tom Cruise.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

I liked some of the 1st Van Helsing but some of it was silly,like t-bolt said,the opening bit with Mr Hyde and Frankenstiens Monster were good,the Vatican part was also cool, when the Monks had all their gadgets and were testing them out,had abit of the James Bond feel to it
Have to agree with with Earth 2 Chris,that Peter Cushing is the best Van Helsing so far but if they would of done Hugh Jackmans VH like in the old hammer films,then he would of been up there with P.Cushing.
It's not a totally bad film,I have seen worse Soloman Kane anyone?
