There’s no word yet on casting or a director for the Hellsing movie. In a statement, producer Mike Callaghan said, “I’ve always loved the vampire genre, especially when a creator is able to put their own unique spin on it, so when Derek introduced me to Alucard and the Hellsing Organization, I knew we had something special in that tradition. Kouta Hirano’s gonzo reimagining of the Dracula-Van Helsing mythology is an exhilarating, quirky mashup of action and horror that’s unlike anything we’ve seen before.”

Hellsing isn’t the only high profile anime series getting a live-action adaptation from a big streaming service. The classic sci-fi show Cowboy Bebop is being adapted by Netflix, with a cast that includes John Cho, Alex Hassell, and Daniella Pineda.

Kolstad’s next movie will be the action comedy Nobody. The film stars Bob Odenkirk and it hits theaters in April–check out the latest Nobody trailer.
