John Wick Writer Adapting Japanese Manga ‘Hellsing’ For A Feature Film

When it comes to action-packed films John Wick is at the top of the list. The writer behind the pulse-pounding franchise, Derek Kolstad, is now gearing up to bring us another film that will keep us on the edge of our seats, the live-action film adaptation of the Japanese action-horror manga Hellsing for Amazon Studios, Deadline reports. Ever since my brother introduced me to the Hellsing manga and anime some years ago, I’ve been obsessed with adapting it,” Kolstad said in a statement. “Hellsing reimagines Dracula as Alucard, a special agent bound to The Hellsing Organization, under the leadership of Integra Hellsing, great-granddaughter of Abraham Van Hellsing, to aid them in their mission to protect England and the world from vampires, ghouls, and other supernatural threats. The manga also focuses on Hellsing’s newest recruit, a female ex-police officer named Seras Victoria.” I’ve always loved the vampire genre, especially when a creator is able to put their own unique spin on

“Expedition Bigfoot” Investigation Yields DNA Results

The ‘Expedition Bigfoot’ team (left to right): Russell Acord, Ronny LeBlanc, Dr. Mireya Mayor, Bryce Johnson The elite team of researchers of “Expedition Bigfoot” returns from a two-month cross-country investigation after discovering mysterious evidence of a non-human primate in the Appalachians. The team collected surprising DNA evidence while in the field searching for the most famous and elusive cryptid, Bigfoot. Throughout their two-month journey, the team – Bryce Johnson (expedition operations), Dr. Mireya Mayor (primatologist), Russell Acord (ex-military/survivalist), and Ronny LeBlanc (Bigfoot researcher) – used the latest in advanced technologies to narrow their search within the designated target zones, beginning in Kentucky and then switching mid-expedition to Washington State. As the investigation intensified, possible evidence that Bigfoot may be in the area began to surface – vocalizations, unexplained structures commonly described by Bigfoot witnesses, and massive 16-inch footprints that no man could have left behind. During filming deep in the wilderness of Kentucky’s Appalachian highlands, DNA collected from soil under
