Rupert Sanders May Direct ‘Van Helsing’ Reboot

A few months ago, it was revealed that Tom Cruise was attached to star and produced the Universal Pictures reboot of Van Helsing. The film will be developed by the team of Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci (Star Trek). However, up until now no director had been attached to the project.

Twitch Film is now reporting that Rupert Sanders (Snow White And The Huntsman) is currently in “early and still relatively casual” talks to direct the flick. The site also says that there’s a good chance that the film will be Tom Cruise’s next project after he finishes up shooting Warner Bros. All You Need Is Kill, so you can expect a director to be picked pretty soon. Personally I am hoping they go for a less campy feel this time around maybe go for something along the lines of what Guy Ritchie did with the Sherlock Holmes films.
