MAY 7, 2004
VAN HELSING (Universal): The latest big-budget creature feature by MUMMY-meister Stephen Sommers is a no doubt FX-packed chronicle of Bram Stoker's 19th-century monster hunter (played by X-MEN's Hugh Jackman) as he travels to Eastern Europe and encounters Dracula (MOULIN ROUGE's Richard Roxburgh), Frankenstein's creation (Tony Award winner Shuler Hensley) and the Wolf Man (Will Kemp). Kate Beckinsale also stars as vampire hunter Anna, with Sommers regular Kevin J. O'Connor as Igor.
JUNE 25, 2004
THE FORGOTTEN (Columbia/Revolution): Joseph Ruben, who first broke out with the domestic thrillers THE STEPFATHER and SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, returns to the form with this supernaturally slanted story of a woman (Julianne Moore) grieving over the death of her young son. When her psychiatrist tells her that the boy only existed in her mind, and she meets another person undergoing the same experience, she sets out to prove her son's existence—and her sanity. Gerald (PHENOMENON) DiPego scripted.
AUGUST 4, 2004
ALIEN VS. PREDATOR (Fox): The long-awaited franchise pair-up is finally on the way. Paul (RESIDENT EVIL) Anderson is the writer/director on the movie, which is set on a distant planet where a scientist breeds Aliens in order to lure the Predators for study. No doubt things go very badly from there. Lance Henriksen stars, but not as his android Bishop character from ALIENS; Amalgamated Dynamics Inc., which created the xenomorphs for the last two ALIEN pictures, is doing all the monsters for this adventure.
AUGUST 13, 2004
BLADE: TRINITY (New Line): After writing the first two installments, David S. Goyer also takes the director's chair to round out the trilogy. Once again, Wesley Snipes is Marvel Comics' vampire slayer, this time fighting alongside Jessica (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE) Biel and Ryan (VAN WILDER) Reynolds. Dominic (JOHN DOE) Purcell and wrestler Triple H are the lead baddies, and indie queen Parker (SCREAM 3) Posey is on board as a bloodsucker.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2004
CONSTANTINE (Warners): The long-mooted film version of Alan Moore's HELLBLAZER comic, about a part-human/part-demon crimefighter taking on supernatural adversaries, is finally on the way. Keanu Reeves is currently set to star for music-video veteran/first-time feature director Francis Lawrence; also in the cast are Rachel (THE MUMMY) Weisz, Tilda Swinton, Djimon (GLADIATOR) Hounsou and Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.
OCTOBER 29, 2004
UNTITLED DARK CASTLE FILM (Warners): They haven't announced what it'll be yet (a remake of MACABRE or HOUSE OF WAX, or possibly something else), but the horror-centric production outfit has already claimed the date for its fifth feature.
NOVEMBER 10, 2004
THE RING 2 (DreamWorks): Naomi Watts returns in the sequel to the hit American remake of the Japanese RINGU. No plot details have been announced yet, but this apparently won't be adapted from the RINGU follow-ups (or the novels that were their original source).
DECEMBER 14, 2005
KING KONG (Universal): The one King that rules them all is coming back to the screen in a megabudget remake by LORD OF THE RINGS' Peter Jackson. This one, which Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are rewriting from a mid-'90s draft by Jackson and Walsh, hews closer to the original than the '76 redux did, though with a greater and more horrific emphasis on the dinosaurs and other creatures encountered on Skull Island. Naomi Watts has been approached to take the Fay Wray role; the movie begins production in summer 2004 in New Zealand
