Universal Pictures
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Feb. 4, 2004 - "Van Helsing" is a motion picture adventure that features imaginative use of fantasy characters such as Dracula, The Frankenstein Monster and The Wolf Man -- characters that have been staples of movies and popular culture for more than 60 years. Writer/director Stephen Sommers has established himself as a filmmaker who creates entertainment enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The tone and content of "Van Helsing" have been designed to continue that tradition and fit well within the Motion Picture Association of America parameters established for a PG-13 rating. The 60-second advertisement for the film that ran during the Super Bowl was approved by the MPAA. While the spot contained images of fanged fantasy creatures, it did not feature any blood or gore, nor any depiction of realistic graphic violence.
