Van Hellsing movie

Just got off the phone with my friend who's freaking out that Hugh Jackmann is starring as Alucard in the "live action Hellsing movie". In case you're also freaking cuz you saw the trailer too, there is NO live action Hellsing movie!

Van Hellsing (notice the "VAN") is about the demon-slayer (Vampire Hunter mainly), Van Hellsing, from all the Dracula related books. The Hellsing manga was just HEAVILY influenced by these books as well. Note that Alucard is a psycho-assed Vampire in the manga. Van Hellsing is supposed to be human. Also, the movie takes place in the 1700 or 1800s, whereas the manga takes place in the present/NEAR future.

I'm sure the movie will be pretty good, but you can't compare it to how much fun it is to watch that certifiably wicked Alucard in the anime! Want more Hellsing made!!

I saw the trailer on Access Hollywood Thursday. It's gonna be bigger than the Blade movies at least. Probably at least as good as Underworld. Speaking of which, has anybody heard if the rumor that there won't be a sequel anymore is true or not?

I think that rumour might be true actually, but I'm not 100% sure. Anybody else?

The reason why I was asking is because supposedly (don't kill me for spoilers since it's all rumor) the comic, based on the first movie, is ongoing after the first movie ended and supposedly they don't want to kill off Marcus, the main villain of movie 2, where supposedly they DO in the movie.

Ya but even if that is true, does it really have to matter I wonder? I mean, they don't have to follow the movies exactly. Hey they've already been different since the comic goes past the movie.

That's all well and good, but...

Please note that although the title of the manga/anime is Hellsing, the correct spelling of the character's name (as well as the movie) is "Van Helsing."

Just so you know.

That's right. I forgot. Well you know, I find when it comes to English spelling, (well in this case it's not an English name, but you know what I mean), the Japanese don't really seem to care how it ends up looking. As long as it fits in with their language or at least it looks good anyway. They just really seem to love using English words!

That's cool. So maybe there's more to these rumors about Sammy getting back with the rest of the band than just hot air. I know a lot of people like Diamond Dave as the front man better, but I think they're both good in their own ways. But then hey, I even liked Gary when he was around.

Spoiler time then! Van in the movie is a married human going after Dracula. On the way to D's castle he meets up with a wolfman and other demons to kill.

He's (jokingly) confusing "Van Helsing" and "Van Halen." He's not directly making fun of your handle; it's just that Gary what's-his-face was their lead singer for a while.

Just so's you know.

Sounds vaguely familiar....

And concerning underworld, it would not take much to top such irritating slash fanfiction crap. And stuff
