Pajiba is reporting that Universal is working on a new Van Helsing movie that has no connections to the widely panned Stephen Sommers film of the same name. The new movie is being developed at del Toro's production house and will be based on a forthcoming treatment written by Guillermo del Toro himself. It is being described as an “action horror story.” Since this is just in the treatment stage it will be some time, if ever, that we see this get off the ground.

While del Toro certainly has some familiarity with vampires in his book
The Strain and directing
Blade 2, there certainly seem to be some other big movies he has been attached to such as
Hellboy 3, Deadman, Dr. Strange, Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde that he could get going on now that he has walked away from
The Hobbit.
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
