INTERVIEW

Del Toro on "Hellboy 2"
I start writing it in the Fall and then it'll depend on how fast we get a script we're all happy about and how fast we can work out a budget and a date. It's in the future, but I wouldn't put a date on it. In the next Hellboy adventure he'll (Hyde-Pierce's Abe Sapien) have a more prominent role. She'll be back (Blair). Jeffrey Tambor will be back. We will have a good class of weirdos around.

Awwwww hell yea!!! The first movie was awsome, more action in the second one will make excellenty!!

I think Hellboy sucked as a movie. The characters were sort of dull and the story was crap.

If not for the action...it would have been better to not make the film at all.

It will be nice to see more creatures like Abe and Hellboy in the second film as well.

Hellboy was ok...the character list was kinda dry...

My only complaint about the first film was the ending and the fact that Abe didn't have too much screen time but thats all.

he doesnt need screentime. he never does anything interesting...

Thats because they didn't give him enough things to do during the film like fight scenes or anything like that.

Hellboy 2 has been in works since before the original came out earlier this year. Hellboy 2 will be out probably around the same time Spider-Man 3 is out. The actors/actresses of Hellboy have aleady signed on for 2 sequels so I've heard.

Spider-Man 3 will be released May 2007. I think that Hellboy 2 will probably be released in 2006.

i liked hellboy so this would be intresting to see who hell boy will face next?? would anyone care to guess???

he doesnt fight...he just uses his psychic powers

I'm not that familiar with all that is Hellboy. I saw the movie and liked it and have read a few comics but have yet to go full depth into it. Are there any other "freaks" that they encounter and enlist into the BPRD?

I liked the first Hellboy. Sure, it isn't the best movie in this superhero craze but it certainly isn't the worst. I think a second one is a good idea. I agree that Abe Sapien wasn't in enough of the movie.

True but he can still attack his enemy somehow even it is with his mind but he didn't do that in the first.

"Hellboy" also topped Video Store magazine's list of top rentals for the week, followed by "Yards." Universal Studios Home Video's "Ned Kelly" was the only other new rental title to crack the top 20; the Heath Ledger-Orlando Bloom starrer bowed at No. 16.

Meanwhile, ComingSoon.net is listing the Hellboy Director's Cut DVD for a an October 19 release date. Stay tuned for more on that!

UK sucks man, Hellboy came out April 1st in the States. It's not even out in the cinemas here yet.

Perlman & Blair on the Hellboy Sequel
Source: SuperHeroHype
Wednesday, August 25, 2004

OutNow.CH had the chance to talk to Ron Perlman and Selma Blair during their promotional stay in Zurich/Switzerland. In Selma Blair's interview she talked about the sequel...

ON: Are you going to be in part two of Hellboy as well?
SB: Yes. I will be in part two! How can I not be, you evil man? Liz has her strengths finally. She would better be in part two! I'm signing on to do it and I think we are shooting in one year. Probably in Prague, maybe Berlin even.

ON: Can you tell us already something about the storyline?
SB: Top secret. I swore myself to secrecy. I think it's going to be very beautiful. And Liz is going to be much more powerful in this one. She has to be. She sure didn't bust out a lot of moves in the last one in the end.

Perlman, on the other hand, says that he's being kept in the dark...

ON: But Part two of Hellboy seems to be settled already. Can you tell us something about it?
RP: They don't let any of their secrets out on me. I think that they really regard me as this 14-year old irresponsible adolescent, who the minute is told a secret to, is just going to be blabber all out on the internet. I'll probably find out about it, as we are shooting.

Hey alpha dont be sad. Order it from play.com like i did I also got the whole ten yards from there, also not out in the UK

HellBoy was really entertaining, I laughed to his one sentence jokes and it had some nice action to it. Don't worry about Abe he's getting more screen time in the second movie, he'll play a bigger part and so will the flamegirl. perlman is just the right guy for the role, and he makes the character fun to watch. hellboy is been a much better success then expected, and I want my DVD of it also.

Agreed.

Come On FilmProphet!!!!!The Hellboy movie is not good!!!!make your insulting people will you?

Thats your oppinion which you are entitled to just like the rest of us. So just because you don't like the film that does not mean I shouldn't.

FilmProphet it is good just to ignore his pointless posts. Thats what i have learned to do.

Why should we pick this movie apart also? It was a good intro to the second movie, lets hope they keep entertaining us. Don't mind Asian Hulk he just likes contraversy.

with proper makeup, i think he would play an awesome Martian Manhunter!

Is that a sig with the toy Predator from MCFarlane Toys ? Muahahhhhhhha! McFarlane Toys is gonna rase the toy quality, I hope.
MArtianManhunter? Can I se a pic of that somewhere?

News and Rumors:

August 25, 2004: "Guillermo del Toro, Selma Blair and Ron Perlman presented Hellboy here in Berlin last night and were available for Q & A. Guillermo was very nice, funny and outspoken, but Ron and Selma seemed tired. They all confirmed that Hellboy 2 is signed and on the way, but Guillermo is at least making one other, smaller movie before that in spain. As for the story of Hellboy 2 Guillermo did not seem to have already made up his mind, but Abe and Selma's characters will get much more room and Kroenen seems not to come back in the first sequel. As they were not sure if there would be a sequel when making Hellboy, they tried to get as much good stuff from the comics into it as possible to have it on screen at least once. So many ideas were used up for Hellboy 1 and they seemingly have to search first for new ones to fill Hellboy 2." Thanks to 'CountingDown.com' for the news story which came from a 'AICN' scooper.

August 3, 2004: Guillermo del Toro spoke to Moviehole in an upcoming interview: "I start writing it in the Fall and then it'll depend on how fast we get a script we're all happy about and how fast we can work out a budget and a date. It's in the future, but I wouldn't put a date on it. In the next Hellboy adventure he'll (David Hyde-Pierce's Abe Sapien) have a more prominent role. She'll be back (Selma Blair). Jeffrey Tambor will be back. We will have a good class of weirdos around. "

heck yeah dude!

Hellboy was a great flick. Very faithful to the comics. It was also a nicely paced action film with a decent story. It was the characters that made it so damn good though. nice acting.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree, the acting was way better then I expected, cuz some actors can't act good with massive makeup. Sometimes just looks stupid, but with hellboy I was very entertained. My friend, that usually craps on movies that r based on comics, said that Hellboy was way better then any of the X-Men. Now, I was really surprised that a preson that usually doesn't admire comics had a really positive experience with HellBoy.


I hope someone does something about that Martian's costume . Those boots gotta go and the speedos too. That martian looks a bit like Piccolo from DBZ, lol.

yeah MM;s costume is pretty queer...

I'm still waiting for the Director's Cut.

HELLBOY 2

Dynamic Forces has a note from Mike Mignola about the in-development sequel. "Mike reported that he had indeed written a new storyline with director Guillermo del Toro and that the studio was pleased with it. While he wouldn�t reveal the plot, Mike did say that the sequel would be closer to the comic books in spirit, dealing more with mythology and folklore. 'Hopefully, this will be Guillermo's next movie after the one he's currently working on in Spain,' Mike said."

Meanwhile actress Selma Blair spilled all brand of beans to FilmForce about the sequel, playing Liz Sherman and how the success of the films is affecting her personal life. "I would love to have a child," she said, "but I want to wait until 'Hellboy's' over, because that will be another long, arduous shoot in another country. Unfortunately I don't start that for 25 years ... Yeah, I start that, probably in a year and a half. Guillermo's working on something else, so I'll probably have to wait. But, you know, maybe not, if I got pregnant now. Basically, I'm not pregnant and I don't know when I will be. I'm never not trying though."

Blair has already heard the basic story for the next film. "I talked with Guillermo last week, I was in Europe with him and he told me some of it, but I'm sworn to secrecy. But it's so good, it's so good, I'm so excited, and it's funny." She says that, from what she's heard, the sequel should start right where the first one ended. "I think immediately. I think in the same time."

She also discussed the costuming for her character. "I did the costumes, I didn't physically make them. But yeah, we kinda came together with what I want. I want Liz to be a little bit more controlled and sexier for the second one, so hopefully the wardrobe will look like that."

Ron Perlman on Hellboy 2 Start
Source: E! Online
March 23, 2005


E! Online chatted with Ron Perlman, who says he thinks they will start shooting Hellboy 2 in the fall. He also commented on a possible trilogy:

Boy, oh, Hellboy! Dude, we loved Hellboy, so when we saw Ron Perlman (sans his sawed-off horns and gibbon-red skin, for some reason) a few weeks ago at the Independent Spirit Awards, we pounced on his ass:

Will there be a Hellboy sequel?
Yes. I think we start shooting in the fall.

And which characters will be returning?
I'm not privy to those 125 pages, but I think I have a nice-size role.

Do you think it'll eventually be a trilogy?
You know, you make them one at a time, but I would say that if there are more Hellboys in the future, then I'm very blessed, because he's a guy I could play every day for the rest of my life and never grow tired of.

iveknown about this for a year know and now its coming out hellboy is my fave comic

I feel the same way about Hellboy 2,

No, it just seemed too reveal and detail the plot of the film too much for a teaser trailer.

Oh please. You don't watch Hellboy for a complicated plot, you watch Hellboy to watch him be a badass and rough up some monsters and look cool in the process.

What are you rambling about?


I was only pointing out that it just too much for being a teaser trailer.

I pretty much share the same sentiments.

I think I'll enjoy myself a lot seeing this. It'll be an easy-going, badass experience.

I'm also a fan of the comics and the first movie outing, Got the first 2 volumes of the trades

Has anyone here checked out the hellboy animated stuff ??

The first movie was allright but i liked the second one alot more
