Brilliant news for all those Hellboy fans with news coming from Selma Blair on the production of Hellboy 2. From Comic Book News:
Selma Blair…told SCI FI Wire that production on the film has been tentatively scheduled to begin at the beginning of 2007…
…Blair said in an interview. “Apparently [director] Guillermo [del Toro]’s supposed to hand in a script any minute. I know there will probably be a long preproduction, so we’ll probably start maybe January 2007.”
Well a lot of probably’s and maybe’s, but still it’s a good indication that things are kicking off. It’ll be interesting to hear more about the script as it comes in.
Personally, I am dead excited about this movie, Hellboy was superb fun and the character is great for the big screen, never mind the fact that Ron Perlman is a superb actor and perfect for the part. I think this is one of the strongest Superhero franchises around…for now anyway.
