Kurtzman And Orci On Mummy & Helsing

"Star Trek"/"Transformers" scribes Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci have just inked a 2 year deal with Universal according to a just issued Press Release

The first films of the deal are reboots for 2 of director Stephen Sommers films "Mummy " and "Van Helsing" which are several library titles the pair are reportedly planning to 'reimagine'.


The 'Mummy' reboot made news a few weeks ago with writer Jon Spaihts and producer Sean Daniel  already working on it

Word of 'Helsing' getting another go however is new. The surprise here is that it looks as if Tom Cruise is replacing Hugh Jackman as as Cruise is officially attached to star in and produce the film.

Kurtzman and Orci penned the currently shooting Untitled Star Trek Sequel and they remain attached to pen a sequel to "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and most recently performed re-writes on Doug Liman's sci-fi war tale "All You Need Is Kill" starring Cruise
