What famous authors inspired two dark adventure movies featuring Hugh Jackman in the same year?
Van Helsing: The London Assignment Van Helsing: The London Assignment is a 2004 animated film by Universal Studios Home Entertainment. It features the voices of Hugh Jackman, Robbie Coltrane and David Wenham. "The London Assignment" is an animated prequel to the 2004 motion picture "Van Helsing" (released the same year). It tells of the events before the film.
The Carpathian Castle The Carpathian Castle (French: "Le Château des Carpathes" ) is a novel by Jules Verne first published in 1893. It is possible that Bram Stoker took inspiration from this for his 1897 novel "Dracula". Possibly Verne had been inspired by seeing the ruined Devín Castle near Bratislava during his boat travel on the Danube river.
