“#James Wan’s Van Helsing Reboot Gets Overlord Director Julius Avery<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nA new Van Helsing<\/em><\/strong> movie is on the way. Julius Avery (Overlord<\/em>) has been tapp<\/a>ed to direct a new take on the classic character, with horror master James Wan (The Conjuring<\/em>, Saw<\/em>) producing. This is the latest effort by Universal Pictures to make a modern day franchise out of its classic stable of monster-centric characters.

\nJulius Avery made his presence known in Hollywood with 2018’s Overlord<\/em><\/strong>. The World War II zombie flick was produced by J.J. Abrams. Though there was much speculation ahead of its release, it was not part of the Cloverfield<\/em> universe. But critics still responded kindly to it, even if it failed to connect at the box office. Avery is currently directing Sylvester Stallone in Samaritan<\/em>, which is a take on the superhero genre. Avery’s directorial debut was 2014’s Son of a Gun<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As for James Wan<\/em><\/strong>, he has become one of the most prolific and successful filmmakers in Hollywood. As a director, Wan is behind big hits such as The Conjuring<\/em>, Aquaman<\/em> and Furious 7<\/em>. As a producer, he is behind the Conjuring<\/em> universe spin-offs, DC’s Swamp Thing<\/em> series<\/a> and the upcoming Mortal Kombat<\/em> reboot, as well as the Saw<\/em> and Insidious<\/em> franchises.

\nVan Helsing<\/em>, as a character, debuted in Bram Stoker’s Dracula<\/em>. He has appeared in a number of movies and TV shows over the years. Universal previously tried to launch a franchise based on the figure in 2004, with Hugh Jackman starring in the lead role. The movie failed both critically and commercially. Syfy has also aired four seasons of a Van Helsing<\/em> TV show, which has been renewed for season 5. The character has additionally appeared in Dracula: Dead and Loving It<\/em>, Penny Dreadful<\/em> and Dracula 2000<\/em>, among other adaptations.<\/p>\n

Universal has been reinvigorated in terms of its classic monster franchise. The Invisible Man<\/em>, which was released earlier this year, proved to be a massive hit, taking in $130 million at the box office. The studio previously tried to launch a cinematic universe titled the Dark Universe, starting with Tom Cruise’s The Mummy<\/em> in 2017. It proved to be a one-and-done experiment. The studio has since started developing creator-driven projects, such as a new Wolfman<\/em> movie with Ryan Gosling and a new take on Dracula<\/em> from director Karyn Kusama.
