If the project sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Hugh Jackman starred in a loose adaptation of the character for 2004’s Van Helsing. While commercially successful, the movie was widely panned by critics. This isn’t the first time Cruise has been cast in the role — he was previously attached to a film that Guillermo del Toro was set to produce but it ultimately never materialized. This would be Cruise’s first vampire-themed role since his turn as villain Lestat in 1994’s Interview with a Vampire. ~Kyle Sharp
