I Just Don't Know Anymore

Universal has inked a major production deal with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the writers of the "Transformers" movies and the "Star Trek" reboot, that will include among other things a remake of "Van Helsing" with Tom Cruise tapped to star. Yes, really - a do-over of a failed decade-old Hugh Jackman vehicle starring Tom Cruise. I don't even know where to start a joke about that...

K&O have had a good year as deals go - despite "Cowboys & Aliens" tanking, they've already lined up this new set of projects plus an agreement to take over the writing duties on Sony's pre-planned "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel (the gossip is that Sony is VERY unhappy with how "ASM" has turned out, and are effectively looking to reboot the reboot in terms of a new creative team if the film does well enough to get a sequel.)
