My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

According to information from the Deadline , Amazon Studios live-action film adaptation of Hellsing .

Furthermore, the script is being written by Derek Kolstad (John Wick), who will also serve as a producer.

Dark Horse Comics publishes the manga in English and describes the story as follows:

With supernatural horrors haunting the streets and attacking humanity, the shadowy Hellsing Organization battles the minions of hell. And Hellsing has a secret weapon in its arsenal: the vampire lord Alucard, whose terrifying powers are needed more than ever as an army of the undead marches on London under the swastika banner!

Kouta Hirano launched the manga in Young King Ours in 1997, concluding it in September 2008 after 11 years. Dark Horse published the tenth volume of the Hellsing manga in North America in May 2010. Dark Horse Comics is currently releasing the manga in a new deluxe three-volume hardcover edition, with the second volume shipping in November 2020.

The manga inspired a anime in 2001, released on DVD between 2002 and 2003. Funimation re-released the series on DVD in 2012, which also included an OVA called Hellsing Ultimate , shown irregularly between 2006 and 2012. Geneon released up to the third volume in North America in 2007, before Funimation began distributing the anime.

Finally, Crunchyroll began streaming the anime in April 2017.
