Exciting news for fans of the classic vampire hunter, Van Helsing. A reboot of the franchise is officially in the works, with James Wan attached to produce and Julius Avery set to direct. While no casting announcements have been made yet, rumors are swirling that Hugh Jackman may be reprising his role as the titular character.
The original Van Helsing film, released in 2004, starred Jackman as the legendary vampire hunter tasked with defeating Count Dracula. The film was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $300 million worldwide. However, plans for a sequel were ultimately scrapped.
Now, nearly two decades later, Universal Pictures is giving the Van Helsing franchise a new lease on life. Wan, known for his work on horror films such as "Saw" and "The Conjuring," will produce the reboot through his production company, Atomic Monster. Avery, who previously directed "Son of a Gun" and "Overlord," will helm the film.
While the plot details of the reboot are being kept under wraps, it is said to be a faithful adaptation of the original novel by Bram Stoker. The film is expected to begin production in the spring of 2023, with a release date yet to be announced.
The news of a Van Helsing reboot has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Some are excited to see the character brought back to the big screen, while others are concerned that the reboot will not live up to the original. However, with Wan and Avery at the helm, the reboot has the potential to be a thrilling and exciting addition to the vampire hunter genre.
