At
C2E2 in Chicago, Ron Perlman, who made on 13th of this month 63
years old talked about his role as Clay Morrow in Sons of Anarchy, he described
his character Hannibal Chow and the use of real life sets and not just CGI in
Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim. He also talked about the possibility of
Hellboy 3.
Regarding
Sons of Anarchy, Ron Perlman, who knows how his character story is going to unfold,
teased with all the possibilities:
“There’s
a million ways he could either extricate himself from that situation, or not
extricate himself from that situation. Does he go inward? Does he go outward?
Does he become more manipulative than ever? Is he more dangerous than ever,
because he’s a cornered big cat? I don’t know. I mean, I do, but I’m not going
to tell you.”
While
talking about Pacific Rim, Ron Perlman described his character the following
way:
“Hannibal Chow is kind of what you would
imagine when you hear that a big, oversized Jew from New York is playing a guy
named Hannibal Chow. He’s got to be the most full of sh-t guy on the face of
the earth, and indeed that’s what he is. He’s a black marketeer. He has
fashioned an agreement with the government whereby whenever these Kaiju fall in
battle, he has the rights to farm them and market them. And he has fashioned a
gazillion ways to profit off of these Kaiju. So Hannibal Chow is a
war profiteer, who has zero north moral compass whatsoever. He has no political
loyalty whatsoever. He’s just a guy who profits off of other people’s
misfortune.”
He also spoke about
how Guillermo del Toro uses real life and/or purposely built sets to shoot:
“That’s a signature of Guillermo. Whenever
possible, he creates the real thing in three dimensions and he only uses CG as
a sort of punctuation mark or enhancement to what you see with your own eye… He
recreated about six blocks of Hong Kong – because Hannibal Chow’s lair is in
Hong Kong – so the sequence that I was in was mind-blowing.”
And because he was
in the midst of a comic book convention the question had to be made. How about
Hellboy 3?
“We both walked away from Hellboy 2 agreeing
that there would never be another one. But, with the passage of time, it became
clear to me that he really always designed it as a trilogy. He has a very
well-articulated idea of what the resolve would look like and it’s amazingly
theatrical and is epic in scope and would make for amazing cinema, with or
without the first two movies. But there are so many
questions posed in the first two films that absolutely need to be answered. I
said, ‘You owe it to the world to finish this trilogy.’”
Regarding Hellboy 3
there are a couple of problems, the first being that Director/Producer/Writer/Jack
of all trades Guillermo del Toro is (we assume) with his schedule packed full.
He is currently developing TV shows, a comic, finishing some movies and developing
other movies, so Hellboy 3 not yet.
The second reason is
that Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy recently stated that a third film was
not in the works and that he was once approached by Universal, which told him
that a third movie would never get made.
So all we can do now
is either wait and see what the future brings for Hellboy or be enraged and
rant about the lack of vision studios sometime have.
