Movie Good or bad? Hellboy is getting an R rated reboot

[Mook]

Without del Toro and Perlman. To be honest, Ive only seen bits and pieces of the movies and never understood the huge appeal or desire for even the 3rd movie (that never got traction).

Big red is coming back to the big screen in a planned R-rated reboot of the Hellboy series. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola confirmed the news on Facebook, specifying that the reboot would be directed by Game of Thrones director Neil Marshall, and star David Harbour — best known for his role as Stranger Things' Jim Hopper — as the titular demon.

Negotiations are reportedly ongoing between producers Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin, who own the rights to the films, and movie studio Millennium, but the end product is set to be an R-rated refresh. Mignola himself is reportedly helping to write the new movie, which has the working title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen.

I really enjoyed the first two movies, I don't know why they never made a third. Also, without Perlman, I don't know that I'd really be that interested until I see trailer. He really carried that role.

They could never get the budget for the 3rd. Plus, Perlman is like what..70 now? That probably had something to do with it as well.

I like the Hellboy movies. They are a ton of fun and don't take themselves too seriously. Also not sure about the lack of Perlman but to your point [MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION], he's getting up their in age.

No del Toro and Perlman, no care.

I am not on board with this. Hellboy without perlman and del toro? Nah. why dont i just remake goodfellas w/out scorsese and use seth rogan and james franco? come on!

IMO, good if it's better than the first, bad otherwise.

Are the producers after the $$ or do they really want to make a good movie? Boobs and blood, at least.

I'll judge after a trailer is released. I like harbor.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I heard that Del Toro waited quite a few years to get Pearlman for Hellboy in the first place. I really enjoy the first two movies. I like Harbour in Stranger Things, he's been meh in the other stuff I've seen him in.

Marshall looks to have a ton of TV episode director credits, Westworld, the new Lost in Space, 2 episodes of Games of Thrones (Watchers on the Wall and Blackwater(which itself was a badass episode)), and the movie The Descent which I've heard wasn't too bad.

Anxiously awaiting the trailer though

Also the rest of the cast is pretty interesting...

Ian McShane as the professor seems weird, but fuck it's Ian McShane
Milla Jovovich looks to be some sort of villian
Thomas Haden Church
And Daniel Dae Kim AKA Jin-Soo from Lost!

 

[Mook]

Thats actually a killer cast.

 

[Kensington]

I love McShane, Jovovich (5th Element FTMFW), and Church...I just don't know how they'll work in a Hellboy movie. Sort of glad it's rated R with Harbour and McShane though, could make for some hilarious stuff

[Kensington]
