Mad Max Inspiration for Latest Van Helsing Iteration

Our buddies over at HitFix recently caught up with Eric Heisserer, co-writer of the upcoming Van Helsing movie, to find out a bit about the direction the film will take.

I can only say that early on, our inspiration for his behavior and his mannerisms was all in Mad Max,” Heisserer tells the site. “It’s early days right now. I can say that the decision that a lot of us made was to go and just write the best movie we could in our own corner and make sure it’s good on its own… and didn’t necessarily need to link arm-in arm with anybody else. And to be tonally different from the other films. One may be a little bit more comedic, action-adventure-y, one can be very much a traditional horror piece. That kind of thing. And then we’ll see what happens as the projects evolve and we all get a chance to convene and talk and make sure the movies feel like they’re all in the same world.

Van Helsing is being co-written by Heisserer and Jon Spaihts.
