With
Pacific Rim about to premiere and Crimson Peak as his next project, many hope
and speculate about a possible Hellboy 3, since there were many answered
questions in the second film.
While on a break from the press tour,
Guillermo del Toro sat down with STYD and said that he and actor Ron Perlman had
a meeting with Thomas Tull the head of Legendary:
“I
hate giving pieces about it, but last night, we were at dinner and Ron said, ‘I
would be very happy to do Hellboy again, when are we doing Hellboy 3?’
Thomas [Tull] said, ‘I would love to see Hellboy 3.’ He didn’t
say he would love to do it he just said he’d like to see it, but today, I’ll
ask him.”
But
with Legendary getting “divorced” from Warner Bros. there might be some rights
issues, so any follow up to Hellboy might take some time. But not everything are
bad news. When asked to comment the statement made by del Toro, Tull replied:
“Not
just anybody can make this movie. I loved working for Legendary and I know
for Guillermo working on Pacific Rim was one of his greatest experiences.
The reason I loved working for them is because Guillermo was so happy.
I came in six months into the shoot and he seemed as fresh as a daisy,
simply because he was working for someone who appreciated and supported his
outlandish visions of what he wanted to put on the screen. My immediate,
silent wish was, wouldn’t it be great if these guys came in and helped resolve
the Hellboy series.”
But
not to be left behind Ron Perlman, aka Hellboy also spoke with STYD regarding
those answered question made in Hellboy 2, and by answered questions one means the
doomsday prophecy about his destiny, mentioned by the Angel of Death, before
the final battle with Prince Nuada.
“[Hellboy
3] needs to be twice as big as Hellboy 1 or Hellboy 2. It’s all of these
oracles coming home to roost with these apocalyptic things taking
place. Guillermo’s version of this resolve in the trilogy is epic in
scope. Not just anybody can make this movie. It has to be somebody who’s no
stranger to this sense of scope. For me to do Hellboy 3, it could kill me
– in terms of physically demanding, for a guy my age, but it’s worth it because
anyone who sits and listens to Guillermo’s version of how this thing ends is
completely seduced. It’s so theatrical and compelling and if you liked the
first two movies in any way, shape or form, this is the ultimate one-two punch.”
