Added a pic of Hugh Jackman as Van Helsing.--Jackman revealed more info about the plot while speaking to the Edmonton Journal. Here's what he said: "In the original Dracula story, Van Helsing is a 60-year-old Dutch professor who's been into the occult and ends up being the Dracula hunter. But this is the 34-year-old version of him at the beginning ... a kind of mercenary of the Catholic church who is sent to kill any possessed soul. So his mission is to go to Transylvania and find out what's going on with Dracula and take him out. But he encounters a lot of monsters along the way."
--The Chigaco Sun Times talked with Hugh Jackman recently about the movie. Here's a little of what was said: "I fight Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula and a few other surprises are thrown in. It's a huge movie. Don't get me wrong. 'X 2' was a big movie, but 'Van Helsing,' my God. The sets, the action pieces--it's out of control. It's like I walked into 'Indiana Jones.' "
--Hugh Jackman talked with SciFi wire a bit about his character and all the weapons he gets: "I've got so many weapons in Van Helsing, I've lost count. I'm almost like one of those watch salesmen. I have this huge overcoat. It almost becomes a joke by the end. My ... sidekick is going, 'Well, what else do you got in there?' I pull out this crossbow, and I got this and a mace, and you name it."
Production contines to L.A. this week. Some new concept art can be seen on your right.--Release date has been pushed forward a month.--Josie Maran and Elena Anaya are set to play two of Dracula's three brides.--Variety reports that Richard Roxburgh will play Dracula.-- Variety reported that the f/x company, Industrial Light & Magic, has been tapped to create the computer-generated visuals for the film.
