Sounds like we're going to get another Priest (which wasn't bad, but you know). I fear for this project. Despite its many flaws, I really did enjoy Sommers' Van Helsing movie.

Maybe stop talkling about Van Helsing and start doing something new and original would be a possibility?

Jackman's character had nothing to do with Stoker's, other than his last name.
2. Stoker's Van Helsing was far from a "vampire hunter"; he was a physician specializing in rare afflictions with no practical experience with vampires. Indeed, he had to return to Amsterdam twice to consult his library before theorizing vampiric involvement.
3. Casting Tom Cruise is a sure-fire way to keep the target audience for this film out of the theaters. Beyond that, he doesn't really draw on his own anymore either.
