I loved Hellboy. A candy colored demon whooping extraviganza that sent me back to my childhood love of John Carpenter full force. The movie had Demon Nazis, what more did it need to do to make you like it? Give you a foot rub?
Anyway despite the doubts from the likes of Head Honcho Josh Tyler, Del Toro and Co. are continuing full steam ahead with plans for a new film. Says Del Toro in an interview at Coming Soon , “Johann Krauss comes in and other than that, and literally, we can't afford any more agents, cause Johann is already an expensive character, the ectoplasmic guy. What we do have is a better gallery of villains than the last one. Mistakes were made in, for instance, killing Kroenen too early. He was such a good character, he should have died last, you know? 'Cause basically, the movie ends when Kroenen dies.”
Talking about the budget he mentions his return to indie filmmaking with Pan’s I’m Going To Kick Ass Labyrinth. “The idea is to take "Hellboy" and then make it for a number close to the first one, but make it look two or three times the budget.”
Everything we’ve heard about Hellboy seems to point towards the fact that it will make the fantastic first one look like small potatoes. Del Toro is a master of mayhem and I can’t wait to see his next masterwork.
