The NZA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 July 11th, and i cant wait - the new villain looks great, but im not sure what book it's based off of (there's a vamp that looks like him in the current B.P.R.D. 1945 min-series). Either way, anyone else as hyped? I still stand that the animated was a little better (for me) than the 1st movie but that's not a slight against the film, it was very well done though, again, i was worried it was a bit too esoteric. Anyway, this looks along the same lines, and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ron Perlman Going to be in this one, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 well, he'd better be, or that awkward promo movie poster is gonna be even more awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 True enough. Checked the IMDB site for more details. Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, and Doug Jones will reprising their roles (hopefully with David Hyde Pierce as Abe Sapien's voice). Guillermo del Toro's ben getting a bit of love in the Hobbit thread, so no one should be disappointed that he's also returning to direct this movie. In case it wasn't obvious, I am looking forward to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I don't think David Hyde Pierce isn't on board for this one. When I first saw the preview, Abe spoke and it was all "whaaaa?" so I IMDB'd it and it's that Doug Jones you just mentioned. It doesn't sound like him at all :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 that sucks. well, most of the original cast, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 It doesn't suck. Doug Jones does Abe's voice in the animated movies too. Just give it a minute to get used to it and you'll see that he's actually quite good at the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalHeart Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) I don't believe I've seen the animated series (cj has though I think?), but that's cool! At least it's someone who knows what they're doing. I just have a soft spot in my heart for David Hyde Pierce is all. Edited April 16, 2008 by MetalHeart typo... geeze I'm bad today.

The NZA Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 oh, shit. ok, very much doesnt suck then, cause again, the animated ones are brilliant. SB, i know its the wrong thread, but you got around to see Sword of Storms? i loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yep, I thought it was great. And actually, I think I liked Blood & Iron a little bit more. I only wish they could put just a little more time and money into the animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 eh, i prolly agree, i guess im just happy they can get the funding that they do. i mean, sure, Hellboy's big for indie/dark horse but a few years back, i dont think idve seen this being done, you know? I longs for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan_Snikt!! Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 with the last post being back on april 15. i keep wondering how with only about a week and half away no one is commenting on how great this movie looks. the Visuals and makeup look incredible. except for indy and the guru, this summer is so far pretty good.

I longs for more. I don't know, Dark Horse has moved up in the world over the last 15 years what with The Mask, Sin City, Hellboy, and Alien vs. Predator being big films and even Mystery Men didn't do too bad. And in reply to Logan, I am psyched to see this movie, Guillermo Del Toro is a brilliant film-maker and he will definitely bring the goods this movie just makes me pine more and more for him to do a movie in the realm of H.P. Lovecraft, I can practically taste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Bob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 You're in luck, then. After he finishes (swear to god) Marvel's Doctor Strange movie, Pete Jackson's two Hobbit films, and possibly a third Hellboy, he's planning to make At the Mountains of Madness.

Silent Bob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Since pretty recently. I hadn't heard about that one, but it has enough buzz behind it to be on his IMDb page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 What's the budget of HB2 compared to HB1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well given that Hellboy One had five "monsters" in it (Hellboy, Abe, Samiel, Kroenen, and the zombie) and this one I lost count how many there were in the trailer then I'd say that's a good indication that he has a much higher budget, granted he used practical effects rather than CGI most of the time but even that isn't the cheapest in the world.

CA Rodgers Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I saw the midnight showing of Hellboy last night. I was very worried going in, because I was such a big fan of the first movie. It was one of those things I didn't want to see get all fucked up. All of that went away after the first 15 seconds it was better than I thought it was going to be. Guillermo Del Toro and Mike Mignola are a great team based on a story they came up with and not on one of the books it's a real treat. Of comedy and horror and Del Toro still an obsession with bug like creatures. The new bad guy was also real cool and very creepy I don't want to give to much away about the story, or anything like that. The one thing I will say is that Ron Perlman is great! Everyone is put on this earth to do something. George Washington be president, Steven King write books, Ron Perlman Be Hellboy! He's just the shit and that's!

MetalHeart Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Cj and I just got back from seeing this. Loved it! Ron Perlman is amazing no matter what role he has. My favorite being One in City of Lost Children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Kaniggit Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thursday night I witnessed HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY! Guillermo del Torro has created a successful sequel, but it also stands alone. I believe surpasses the original. As you expect it funny, but it's also got lots of heart. You can now tell this is the same visionary who directed Pan's Labrynth. The movie is grand in scope and there are interesting items and creatures to look at in nearly every frame. Though it is based on Mike Mignola great series, GDT has put his stamp on these great characters. But, he still maintains what makes the comic books work so well, which is the balance that Hellboy represents between light and dark. I saw many good things that I believe bode well for his Hobbit movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
