The NZA Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 i'm hoping to like 2 more next time. the stuff with hellboy & the BPRD regulars was all good (and seth was great too) but the villain kinda felt flat, and even more than 1, it didnt have the feel of the book at all. i still kinda agree with junker or whoever said it didnt feel like Hellboy's show.

The NZA Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 Krauss is so good. i wouldn't know this was Mcfarlane if it hadn'tve been pointed out to me. *edit - maybe i was too harsh on 2. it's a good flick, again just diverges even more from the feel of the book, no plot point more than again why the fuck is liz preggers, much less twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Mike Mignola spotlight at Fan Expo Boston 2019 Quote The Hellboy writer spoke at length with fans across a slew of different topics. The latest Hellboy film was released less than six months ago, so naturally the fans in attendance had some questions for the man whose character inspired it. “I won’t say it’s tough, but it is weird. It’s strange when something grows beyond you, like film and stuff like that,” said Mignola on what it’s like to see Hellboy grow beyond the comics. “It’s super gratifying that people know about Hellboy and make references to Hellboy. Walking up to the hallway here I saw a sign that had Hellboy on it and it was an ad for a sandwich. What the hell do you do with that? Most of the people who are aware of Hellboy will never see the comic. One thing I say to creators that are going to have their comic or character made into a TV show or film, someone is going to take that and make it bigger than what you did. If I got run over by a bus, they’re going to show a picture of Hellboy from the movies when the news station talks about my death. So I live in the shadow of this thing, but that thing does give me the freedom to do whatever the f*ck I want. I could be all day every day on the internet saying my Hellboy didn’t have a room full of cats, he had a dog! But you live with it, the trade-off is, people know what this is.” While most fans today know Hellboy as a trio of mostly successful movies, two of which are borderline cult classics, the truth is they almost never got made. “Nobody wanted to make the movie. No studio wanted to make the movie. Guillermo came to us. Guillermo is very persuasive. Ron in Blade 2 is basically Ron auditioning for Hellboy. Del Toro needed for Ron to show that he could be a tough guy. Del Toro brought bits and pieces of other scripts to the project and used Hellboy as a vehicle to do a lot of stuff that he wanted to do.” “The first film is very much a collaboration between the two of us,” continued Mignola. “The second one we sat down and tried to do an adaptation of the comics. Within an hour it became clear that he had changed the character so much from the comics that we couldn’t adapt any comic stories. So the first film is very much a collaboration. The second film is very much Guillermo. There was a moment in filming the second film where I said ‘Hellboy wouldn’t do that,’ and Del Toro said, ‘This isn’t your Hellboy, it’s my Hellboy.’ So, you grow a thicker skin and you deal with it. It is what it is.” looking to hit a panel of he & jeff smith next month in ohio, super excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
