This post contains mild spoilers for "Blood Creek."

Vampire horror movies are a dime-a-dozen, often falling into the same genre trappings or retreading familiar storylines. This is not always a bad thing, though, as long as there's fun to be had: films like "Blade" or "Van Helsing" entertain us by expertly balancing thrilling action with dramatic tension while knowing it is best not to indulge in self-seriousness. Well, what about an odd little vampire tale that is both campy and self-serious, as well as equal parts ridiculous and entertaining? Welcome to Joel Schumacher's unforgettable "Blood Creek," where a Nazi vampire scholar named Richard Wirth (a young Michael Fassbender) wreaks havoc after being freed from captivity by two brothers who really should have known better. Henry Cavill and Dominic Purcell play Evan and Victor Marshall, respectively, and it is up to this duo to try and stop this near-immortal Nazi...

Variety honored some of the most influential and accomplished women in entertainment at its Power of Women event on Thursday, Oct. 24, in LA. Celebrity guests, including Selma Blair, Amy Poehler, and Elizabeth Banks, went all out with gala-appropriate outfits, some more traditional than others. As the evening unfolded, Kate Beckinsale took home the unofficial award for most unusual look. Fans found her blank stare and ballerina doll style a little “out there” for such an esteemed event.

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness shocked everyone when they announced in 2023 that they were divorcing after nearly three decades of marriage.

Jackman remained a single man for a bit but then rumors of a new love interest with his Broadway co-star Sutton Foster began to swirl. Some shrugged off the chatter that there was anything going on between them because it was thought that Foster was happily married to Ocean’s Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin. That is until she surprised fans by filing for divorce on Oct. 22, 2024.

Now, reports that these two are an item and “very much in love” have spread all over the internet. As one insider told Page Six, Jackman and Foster “have fallen in love” and are “100 percent together and in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together.” While another source added: “They are still together. They go out of their way to hide it,...

But is it too late for Van Helsing 2, and could a sequel even work today? Complaints About Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing Movie […]

Van Helsing 2: Why Is Hugh Jackman’s Epic Vampire Hunter Still Waiting For A Sequel? Written by Tito Pernalete for Fortress of Solitude...

Recently, Hollywood films and television shows have faced backlash for their poor visual effects. She-Hulk and The Flash are the prime offenders of the same, with fans heavily criticizing the two superhero entries for their poorly crafted VFX. Moreover, the subpar quality of their VFX becomes even more evident when compared to Hugh Jackman’s Van Helsing from 20 years ago.

On social media, users discussed the 2004 action-horror movie, Van Helsing, starring Jackman in the titular role. Some netizens felt that the film had considerably better visual effects compared to She-Hulk and The Flash despite having been released almost twenty years later. Here is why fans think Van Helsing had some of the best VFX for its time.

“Deadpool and Wolverine” is now playing in theaters, and although Hugh Jackman probably won’t receive any major awards nominations for his anticipated return as his comic book character, he has been nominated for an Oscar as well as other major trophies throughout his career. Let’s look back at his many awards races.

After his breakthrough performance as Wolverine in the first “X-Men” film, Jackman spent most of the 2000s appearing in summer action blockbusters like “Swordfish” and “Van Helsing” as well as “X-Men” sequels and a prequel. He was never a serious awards contender for the 2001 romantic comedy “Kate & Leopold,” but he did receive his first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. The other nominees were Ewan McGregor for “Moulin Rouge!,” John Cameron Mitchell for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Billy Bob Thornton for “Bandits” and Gene Hackman for “The Royal Tenenbaums,...

In Hollywood, where actors face immense pressure to conform, Neal McDonough has carved out a unique path for himself through unwavering principles and faith.

The Yellowstone actor has encountered several difficulties and obstacles throughout his career as a result of turning down parts that required him to perform s*x or kissing sequences. McDonough gives two reasons for this, both of which have to do with his religious and personal beliefs.

Neal McDonough in Van Helsing (2016) || Syfy

After marrying Ruve McDonough in 2003, the actor, a longtime Catholic, made the decision to honor his wife and his faith by declining to be involved in any intimate scenes.

The Reason Why Neal McDonough Refuses To Do Intimate Scenes

Neal McDonough has had a diverse and impressive career in Hollywood. However, even with a career spanning several genres and roles, he has kept one thing constant. That is his steadfast refusal to participate in intimate scenes.

Editor’s note: this list was originally published in October 2022. It has since been updated with new selections.

If horror’s limitless capacity for remakes, re-imaginings, and spinoffs teaches us anything, it’s that our nightmares never really change. Since before “Nosferatu” darkened the silent film scene in 1922 — heck, even before Bram Stoker terrified readers with “Dracula” in 1897 — vampires have transfixed audiences with their chilling blend of romance and menace. Movies like “Twilight” and “Interview with the Vampire” are memorable for weaving epic undead dramas for the big screen, but vampire sagas have arguably seen more creative permutations on TV, with whole casts of blood-sucking stars appearing in shows like “True Blood” and “Castlevania.”

The best vampire TV shows examine the archetypal underpinnings of the gothic-infused subgenre by referencing them in unexpected ways. Classic situational comedies like “Dark Shadows” make entertaining light of garlic, coffins, and the (pun intended) stakes of it all.

Owning the rights to a number of famous movie monsters, Universal has from time to time tried to revive one or another classic hero or villain. In 2004, on the wave of success of the Mummy movies, Dracula and Frankenstein were pulled out of a dusty closet and director Stephen Sommers was given the task of combining them into one movie.

The merger took place in the fantasy action film Van Helsing, which pitted the title character against the Transylvanian vampire. The steampunk-style film initially disappointed critics and failed to impress viewers — Van Helsing now has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 24% and 57% respectively.

Van Helsing Has Become a Cult Project Over the Years

Over time, however, the film gained a cult following, with audiences appreciating that the Hugh Jackman flick was more reminiscent of an old-fashioned comic book movie, with all of your favorite heroes and villains on the big screen,...

According to Deadline, CBS has a Van Helsing series in development.

And yes, the title appears to be Van Helsing, but it’s no relation to Syfy’s Van Helsing, which must make TV history awfully confusing to the average watcher.

This Van Helsing will be a lot closer in scope to CBS’s past hit, Elementary, which followed a modern-day Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Watson solving crimes.

Apparently, this series landed at CBS after quite a bidding war for it, even if the procedural king of broadcast network TV seems like a natural fit.

With a Sherlock-less Watson series set to premiere at midseason and a procedural about Albert Einstein’s great-grandkid already in the works, CBS is also eyeing a crime drama that will appropriate the name of Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

Penned by Jonathan Lee (of Netflix’s upcoming Lockerbie miniseries) and with Elementary creator Rob Doherty also serving as a writing executive producer, Van Helsing is described as “a contemporary take on literature’s greatest monster hunter, Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who uses his uniquely inquisitive mind working alongside his ex, relentless FBI Special Agent Mina Harker, to solve New...

One of the silver screen’s most iconic monster slayers, Abraham Van Helsing will return in a brand new “Van Helsing” television series for CBS, Deadline is reporting this afternoon.

Jonathan Lee (“Lockerbie”) is writing the “Van Helsing” series for CBS. Deadline notes in today’s report, “It is believed to have landed at CBS after a hotly contested auction.”

Rob Doherty (“Elementary”) will be executive producing the upcoming horror series alongside Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman under their deal with Lionsgate Television.

Deadline details, “It is a contemporary take on the monster hunter; Dr. Abraham Van Helsing uses his uniquely inquisitive mind working alongside his ex, relentless FBI special agent Mina Harker, to solve New York City’s most harrowing cases.”

The character of Van Helsing notably got his own solo movie back in 2004, with Hugh Jackman in the title role. More recently, 2017’s The Mummy ended with the...

Exclusive: Van Helsing is turning crime fighter in a new series in development at CBS.

Jonathan Lee, the author behind Netflix and the BBC’s upcoming drama series Lockerbie, is writing the eponymous series, which is in the works at the Paramount-owned broadcaster.

It is believed to have landed at CBS after a hotly contested auction.

Elementary creator Rob Doherty is exec producing the project alongside Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman under their deal with Lionsgate Television, which is the studio.

The series is a contemporary take on the monster hunter Dr. Abraham Van Helsing, who uses his uniquely inquisitive mind working alongside his ex, relentless FBI special agent Mina Harker, to solve New York City’s most harrowing cases, per the logline.

Van Helsing is the latest procedural project in the works at CBS, which Deadline revealed earlier this week was developing another adaptation of German detective drama series Einstein.

Rawson Marshall Thurber's "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" lived up to its title when it hit theaters on June 18, 2004. It had been a fairly meh summer up to this point. "Shrek 2" was a smash, and the Alfonso Cuaron-directed "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was the first truly good and aesthetically distinctive film in that series, but most of the heavy hitters were, at best, interesting misfires. When word got out from critics that Steven Spielberg would be adding to the disappointment parade with "The Terminal," it looked like a full-on bummer summer was in the offing.

No one was expecting much from a comedy built around a popular playground pastime, but "Dodgeball" was an uproarious slapdash lark that opened to an unexpected $30 million at the domestic box office. Ben Stiller had been a proven commercial commodity since the Farrelly Brothers' surprise 1998 smash "There's Something About Mary,...

Actor Hugh Jackman is making his much-awaited return to the iconic role of Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. The Australian actor originated the role more than two decades ago and has a Hollywood career that spans even longer. During this time, Jackman has rarely been accused of being anything less than being the nicest person in Hollywood.

In an interview, co-star Kate Beckinsale spoke about the experience of working with Jackman, and praised him for his calm and kind demeanor. As a result, the nicest guy tag continued to follow Jackman throughout his career. However, the actor has himself denounced the tag and shared the perils of holding it. Here is what Beckinsale and Jackman had to say about the latter being the nicest person.

Hugh Jackman Was Accused of Being the Nicest...

In the realm of Hollywood’s supernatural thrillers, Kate Beckinsale has created a reputation for herself as a formidable vampire hunter, following her popular Underworld film series. Her portrayal as Selene, the leather-clad, guns-blazing heroine thereafter garnered her a dedicated fan base and solidified her status as an action star, in Hollywood.

However, despite her success in the genre, Kate Beckinsale recalled her hesitations, when offered the role of Anna Valerious, in Hugh Jackman’s 2004 action horror Van Helsing. Although the actress wasn’t hired to play a vampire in Jackman’s movie, her initial reaction to joining the cast was less than enthusiastic.

Hugh’s last remarkable box office success came in the form of The Greatest Showman, which was released in 2017. It did a business of $438.55 million globally and was declared a commercial success. Now, after a wait of so many years, Deadpool’s third installment seems to be a sure-shot winner.

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind) is currently in production on a new film, a survival thriller formerly known as Origin of the Species and now going by the title Eden, and The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that the cast has been rounded out by Felix Kammerer (All Quiet on the Western Front), Toby Wallace (Babyteeth), Paul Gleeson (The Thin Red Line), Ignacio Gasparini (Como Hermanas), and Richard Roxburgh, whose previous credits include Moulin Rouge, Rake, Mission: Impossible II, Van Helsing, and Elvis.

Kammerer, Wallace, Gleeson, Gasparini, and Roxburgh join previously announced cast members Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), Sydney Sweeney (Euphoria), Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes), Ana de Armas (Knives Out), and Daniel Bruhl (The Alienist). Kirby and Sweeney took over roles that were previously assigned to Alicia Vikander and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Deadline notes that Eden is based on an unsolved mystery that unfolded on a...

The episode of The Black Sheep covering Van Helsing was Written and Narrated by Andrew Hatfield, Edited by Brandon Nally, Produced by Lance Vlcek and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

Some of the movies we talk about have opinions fueled by nostalgia if they are good or reputation if they are bad. Of course, everything is subjective when speaking about how you feel about a movie. It can be tied to events in your life that make you happy or sad. You can enjoy it on the strength of an actor, writer, or director you enjoy being involved or hate it for those exact reasons on a creator not being your favorite. Some things are irrefutable though such as box office or critical appraisal. Van Helsing (watch it Here) was the culmination of what Stephen Sommers had been working towards with tales of fantasy like The Adventures of Huck Finn...

The acting ensemble in Peter Jackson‘s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is nothing short of spectacular. Younger actors including Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom became stars while the cast was peppered with veteran thespians, too, including Sir Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee, and John Rhys-Davies.

British actors such as Sean Bean and Andy Serkis, American stars like Sean Astin and Viggo Mortensen, and Australian performers including Cate Blanchett and David Wenham all melded together to breathe life into Middle Earth. The shocking thing, however, is that only one actor landed an Oscar nomination for their work in the esteemed trilogy. That was McKellen, who was nominated in 2002 for playing Gandalf the Grey in the first movie, “The Fellowship of the Ring.” But so many more actors could and should have been nominated for their work in Jackson’s film series. Here are just five such cases.

Sean Bean — Best...

Disney has announced a major date shift in its 2024 schedule, with one big Marvel Cinematic Universe movie taking another’s place as movies get bumped to later dates. “Deadpool 3” has moved to July 6, 2024 from May 3, 2024, while “Captain America: Brave New World” moves from its Independence Day opening of July 6, 2024 to Feb. 14, 2025, the studio announced on Thursday.

“Blade,” which was slated to be released on Feb. 14, 2025 moves to Nov. 7, 2025.

Furthermore, the studio has canceled plans for two other dates — July 25, 2025 and Nov. 7, 2025 — originally reserved for untitled films.

When the SAG-AFTRA strike started in July, it led to a halt in production for “Deadpool 3.” After nearly four months of waiting, Marvel Studios is now gearing up to resume filming just before the Thanksgiving break, as reported earlier Thursday.

While “Deadpool 3” has been...

It was supposed to usher in a new age of gods and monsters, unleashing a new billion-dollar franchise for Universal Studios just as the studio’s Fast And Furious series was heading into its final lap.

TV Fanatic had the pleasure of speaking with director David Winning about Hallmark's latest Fall Into Love feature, Field Day.

Winning has a long, successful string of Hallmark movies on his resume, but charming rom-coms weren't his first foray into directing.

Making his mark in the sci-fi genre, directing episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark, Stargate: Atlantis, and Van Helsing, his resume boasts a diverse array of productions that almost seem at odds with the heartfelt Hallmark universe.

So, how did Winning find himself so far from the sci-fi realm? We talked with him about that and much more in our exclusive interview.

For more information on Field Day, please visit our exclusive clip of the delightful movie, which stars Rachel Boston, Benjamin Ayres, Shannon Chen-Kent, and Carmel Amit.

Winning's path to filmmaking began in childhood. "I started out as a kid in Canada with a little...
