Van Helsing

[Dr Midnight]

From the maker of the Mummy movies, which I thought were fun.

Dracula, Wolfman, and Frankenstein (cue the nerdly cries of "ACTUALLY 'FRANKENSTEIN' REFERS TO THE DOCTOR...") on screen again, together. Hugh Jackman doin' a Vampire Hunter D thing.

I'm hopeful, if in a naive "whee, this could be fun" way that could easily turn to "whoa, I can't believe they gave the Wolfman nipples" in no time.

Have only heard about it and looking forward to see the famed monster hunter. Think it is going to be an interesting movie.

Ok, I've heard of this movie, but what is this "Vampire Hunter D" everyone keeps refering to?

 

[Mr Fidgit]

it's an anime series (well, two movies) about a half-vampire who hunts vampires. the official site of the most recent movie is here:

I don't know if I'm too keen on Dracula, and the Monster seems to be wearing cyberware, and the Wolfman looks like something out of Werewolf: The Apocalypse...

But Van Helsing looks like one kick-ass character... I think I know what I wanna play in Ravenloft...

I do, too - one of the Dark Powers!

I mean, those movies were made in the 40s. He had to wear pants so you wouldn't see his ... wolf dork.

Wolfman's got nards?

I'd probably feel better about the movie if I hadn't thought Mummy Returns was pretty bad. The Mummy was good at least, so there's hope and they are getting some good actors involved. The more of a Vampire Hunter D vibe I pick up, the better.
