One of them is the England-based Hellsing, run by its cunning leader, Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. Her greatest hunter, and trump card, is Alucard, an unbeatable vampire genetically modified by her father. Despite him being one of "them," he swore to be her protector and servant. A new crisis begins and with the help of Seras Victoria, his recently turned vampire partner, Alucard has to uncover the truth behind the mysterious vampire attacks. Not every human is bound to be his ally in this battle, and he will not hesitate to kill anyone who stands in his way.

STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| this could be good *fingers cross* |
| but most importantly, where will they find a girl with boobs as big as Seras'? this manga may work as an adaptation |
    |
| out of all the live action movies based on anime/manga how many turned out good? |
 |
| Wow! Okay. What? I'm a huge fan of Hellsing (especially Ultimate & Alucard) but I've no idea how or why this is even happening! But hey, good budget and direction could produce something watch-able so I guess I'll try and watch it when it comes out. |

| Welp whatever, this proly won't be that good anyway. |
 |
| Alita was ok. GitS was bad. Catalano said: but most importantly, where will they find a girl with boobs as big as Seras'? She will be with small boobs and probably black. Also a lesbian. Ha-ha. |
| Pupupupu~ |

I never have and never will be interested in your opinion. Let people enjoy things. And how exactly is this individual preventing people from "enjoying things"? |
| I expect it to be toned down a lot. Also wonder whose role they'll assign a black actor to play. My bet is on Anderson. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| This is one of the few cases where Hollywood wouldn't need to white wash its cast, however, knowing Hollywood these days- I'm fully prepared to have a black Alucard or something. They really hate accuracy in casting and instead of delivering a quality adaptation care more about faux representation. |
| I want this movie to be more like John wick with Keanu Reeves as lead mc , Among all the western adaption announced so far I am most exciting for Akira which will be directed by Thor: The ragnarok director |

 |
| Aww yiss now we're talking |
 |
| Given that the original work poked fun at right-wing radical ideas, I can already imagine how quickly this would become annoyingly political in the hands of Western filmmakers. Obviously saying "I don't like this" lol. |

| I hope they cast Steve Buscemi as Alucard |
 |
| > western > live action hell no we all know the majority of these films are cringe-worthy idk why westerners keep trying |
| Please no, not one of my favorites, oh god... They're gonna massacre my boy. |
 |
| I'm glad Hirano's getting paid but this will undoubtedly be terrible just like every other western anime adaptation. |
| >western >adaptation No. |
 |
| I'm having live-action Death Note flashbacks... Oh God, please don't let them ruin Hellsing! Please make it good! T_T |
The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth./B.J.Rubin |
| Bruh John Wick screenwriter, I don't know why you guys are so scared it will be bad |
| Hellsing is a pretty mindless action series, being helmed by someone who did John Wick. This is absolutely cool, like there's practically no way they could fuck this up. All it needs is good action and we're good, and I absolutely trust the staff this time around. Why are people comparing this to something that has more meat on it's story like Death Note? Who gives a shit if they give us a black Alucard, just give us the insane action and gore, like who the fuck watched Hellsing specifically for the middling plot? |
 |
| Is Keanu Reeves playing Alucard? |
| Make it stop. |

| Hellsing isn't the most nuanced depiction of Japanese culture so western adaption is totally fine. It has been proven that mindless action and gorefest are something that can easily be executed pretty well in the west. The most worrying thing is probably now what characters are they gonna cut of for time's convenience. |
| I like talking about anime. |
| Hopefully it doesn't turn into a netflix death note 2.0 or oldboy (US ver) 2.0 |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
soshady said: every live action adaptation always looks shit, lets hope this isn't. Oldboy is a good adaption of the manga. |
just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| Can Western world make original content at all? |
snowykevin said: There's a lot of really good live action adaptations, both as TV series and films, but most of them never make it out of Japan and you probably have never heard of the source material because many manga often never make it out of Japan as well.out of all the live action movies based on anime/manga how many turned out good? |
| There's a 90% chance that this will be trash, so... yeah. |
| oh lord I do not know which actor is hot enough to play Alucard ^_^° |
 |
| Well, good luck to whoever directs this. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
