Tom Cruise to star as Van Helsing in new monster movie

Tom Cruise as Van Helsing? Judging from the ‘Rock of Ages’ trailer, he’s certainly got the hair (or at least a good wig guy). According to a press release from Universal Studios announcing a new deal with ‘Star Trek’ screenwriting duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, Cruise is attached to play the famed vampire hunter in a new film from the decade-old studio. For the pair, this is the second high-profile feature they’ve become attached to in recent days. Sony announced that Kurtzman and Orci would take another pass at the sequel to ‘The Amazing Spider-man’. They’re also co-writers on ‘Star Trek 2’, giving them a wide variety of blockbuster franchises. (Kurtzman and Orci are also responsible for ‘Transformers’, ‘Mission: Impossible III’ and ‘Star Trek’). The two-year deal with Universal is an interesting one; after all, back in February, Orci tweeted that K/O Paper Products (the Kurtzman/Orci production company banner) was leaving its home a DreamWorks and was “excited to be an independent production company in the coming year.”
