MAS PRODUCTIONS wrote:Van Helsing was the man that killed Dracula in the original story "Dracula". In Hellsing the anime, the Hellsing family are suppose to be decedants of Van Helsing. Thats about the only connection between the two. Im actually looking foward to this movie. Hugh Jackman looks pretty bad ass in his outfit.

Yah what he said.

its not that Van helsing is based off the Hellsing anime, its more so they are both based off older dracula stories

Yeah, I heard about this a few months ago from a fellow worker at the movie theater I work at. I was mentioning Hellsing to him, and he said that he saw something on the internet about a movie being made where the main character is "Van Hellsing".

We were wondering if it was a direct ripoff of Hellsing, or if it was just based on the same legend. I guess it's the latter, though I thinki it would have been funny if it were the former.

BTW, Phade, you should check out Hellsing, it's worth a watch. If anything, check out the manga. It's definitely worth a read.

I would say that Vampire hunter D definitley inspired all the modern vampire hunter movies. Forgive me if I am wrong but I can't think of a single movie before then where a bad ass rode around dressed in black hunting vampires. Hellsing its self would definitley not exist if it wasnt for the popularity of Vampire shows like blade or D. I still have to say the best vampire movie ever though was The lost boys.
