Van Helsing...the series

[Johnny Blister]

I just got a new idea for television:"Van Helsing:The Series",an amalgam of the movie"Van Helsing"with a popular South American book.You see,here in South America there´s a book done by popular author Pablo DeSantis called"Transylvania Express".There,all the"official"monsters are listed.Since Hugh Jackman´s Van Helsing seemed to be an expert monster hunter,and he hunted three of the books´s monster(Dracula,Frankenstein and the Werewolf).I put this together:
In the series,taking place after the movie,Van Helsing(recasted,of course)is hunting his old nemesis Dracula(also recasted).When he is hunting,he finds an ancient srtifact,the Cocoon of Nahm'LaTep,that allows the user to travel throught time and space.Since Helsing can´tt master the artifact,he finds himself in 1931,Egypt,fighting Ihmotep,The Mummy(another"official"monster)in each episode he travels to a different place in time and the world8and sometimes,other worlds)in order to fight a monster listed in the book,while secretly longing to return home.That,until the second season,where something duifferent happens.These are the monsters listed in the book:
Alien(from the movie series of the same name),
Kurt Barlow(from"Salem´s Lot),
Candyman,
Carmilla,
the Alligator(from"Peter Pan"),

the Laughing Man(from J.D.Salinger´s"Nine Tales"),

So what do you say?

[Johnny Blister]

Great.I walked 50 kilometres in the pouring rain to get this info,and you guys don´t reply.Thank you very f**king much.

[Steve B]

Hell, I think it sounds like fun...hopefully not alot of CGI...btw- many times i don't get replies immediately, so be patient :-)

[Johnny Blister]

No,not a lot.

And excuse me for my first reply,I was really tired and wet.

Sounds like a great idea to me, especially if done right.  It would take someone with a tremendous amount of dedication to make it and not have the stories become stale.  A lot of terrific monsters listed, especially Freddy Kruger, Predator, and Godzilla, personal favorites of mine.  Hell, if the movie is successful at all, a series might not be too far out of the question.  Unfortunately, wouldn't there be a lot of rights issues involved with including all of the monsters?  That might end up being really expensive in the long run.  A very cool idea, nonetheless.

Don´t worry,I´ll buy all the rights.

Thank you for your support!

[Dolph Lundgren]

Hey man, you buy the rights, and make the series, and I'll be there to watch.  It's definitely an intriguing idea to have him go up against a variety of well-known monsters.
