Van Helsing: The Movie!

Van Helsing

Looks like it should be good, and hopefully it will convince people that Hugh Jackman is capable of playing something other than a metal-clawed mutant. Though the musicals he did that they showed on PBS should have done that. 😛

Penny-Arcade takes on Van Helsing.

 

[SaltBoy]

It's got Kate Beckinsale, too. Hmmmm... 🙂

 

[Yossarian]

hmm never heard of this Van Helsing guy before.

 

[SaltBoy]

I just read the synopsis. Crikey, it's a live version of Castlevania!

Isn't the name Van Helsing from the famous vampire hunter that tracked down Dracula?

Yup, that's the one. Not sure if they're using that as the springboard for the plot for this movie or not.

Movies like this, IMO, either suck hard or totally rock. There's almost no middle of the road. From the look of this, though, and just knowing Hollywood, I'm betting on the final product being like LXG. Though I'll be pleasently surprised if proven wrong about it.

 

[MAME]

what about the anime Hellsing with Arucard hunting down the vampires?

Will let you guys know if it suck or not. I might go see the pre-screening for this.

Rent some of those Mid 60's to mid 70's Hammer Horror films and you will see Von Helsing in there chasing Christopher Lee

One of my CS TAs is from Transylvania. He says that Dracula is actually a big hero there, from when he saved the small country from the invading Turks. He liked to execute the prisioners gruesomely to warn the other troops.
