Set in the late 19th century, monster hunter Dr. Gabriel Van Helsing (Jackman) is summoned to a mysterious land in East Europe to vanquish evil forces... like Count Dracula (Richard Roxburgh), the Wolf Man (Will Kemp), and Frankenstein's Monster (Shuler Hensley). Assisting him once he gets there is Anna (Kate Beckinsale), the heir of a long-running family committed to hunting down and destroying Dracula.
Box Office Tracker: Reuters reports Van Helsing is one of Universal's most expensive ever with marketing costs of $30M+. Variety reports it cost an additional $10 million to finish post-production work on time (on top of the previously reported $150 M).
