Tom Cruise-Starring Van Helsing to Lead Wave of Universal Reboots

Universal's going back to the well, this time bringing Star Trek/Transformers/Cowboys & Aliens writers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci along to re-envision two horror properties of the not-so-distant past: "Kurtzman and Orci’s K/O Paper Products will develop and produce a modern reimagining of Universal library titles including The Mummy, alongside producer Sean Daniel and writer Jon Spaihts. The pair will also develop and produce Universal’s reimagined Van Helsing, with Tom Cruise attached to star in and produce the film." Oh, I'm sure it'll all work out just fine. Right, Ron? [Deadline]
