Van Helsing.  Trailer.  Here.

Hugh Jackman takes on Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman.  I'm hoping it will kick ass.

Looks good.

But I can't help twitch when they show a picture of the "monster" and talk about "Frankenstein". Sigh. They just perpetuating the misinformation.

I still want to see it.

Cheers,

Was Frankenstein's monster actually a 'Monster' or just misguided and misunderstood, and was Frankenstein himself indeed worthy of the title?

Hence the quotation marks. If I recall correctly Dr. Frankenstein's creation or child never got a name. Perhaps the blind man called him something?

In any case, yes, it was the horror and intolerance of those around him that turned his character and actions to the less-than-civil deeds.

As to the appellations of the dear old doctor, it depends on how much you ascribe to him in terms of intention and consequence.

Oooooooooooh.

Alhtough it does look like they may have bit off more than they may be able to chew -- three monsters? Why not just one really good one?

Looks mighty spiffy, however. Although, now that I think about it, I remember saying the same thing about the Underworld trailer ...

I've been waiting soooo long for this movie to come out

I have had the movie page on my links page since last year. Im not expecting great drama, just cool effects. The only thing that gives me pause, is that I've seen Jackman in Oklahoma, and I just can't equate musical theatre with butch vampire/monster killer I'll be waiting for him to gaily burst into song ala Buffy.

Hah, I just saw him last night on Broadway in "The Boy from Oz" playing Peter Allen. Seeing him go from Wolverine to Allen to Van Helsing might be enough to break my mind . . .

(He was outstanding in the role, though.)
