Even with a modest box office success, and positive fan
reaction, director Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy 3 is still a no go for the
studio. Adapted from Mike Mignola's comics, the first film earned $99 million
from a $66 million budget and the second earned $160 million from an $85
million budget.
Despite the studio's concern, both del Toro and
Pearlman have expressed their desires to make the third and last entry in the
franchise.
In a recent interview, Pearlman, said he is fighting
for the movie to get made.
“I’d
like to finish it. I’d like for there to be a third film because the first two
films were set up for this huge resolve and he (Guillermo Del Toro) already
understands what that resolve will look like. He never gave me the nuts and
bolts of it, but he gave me a rather broad strokes sketch of what the third
film would look like and it’s so epic and so deserved by the fans that hung in
there for the first two that I really feel as though it’s essential that we
make it. So I fight for it every day. Sometimes I’m the only voice and
sometimes there are others, but I’m never going to stop trying to get Hellboy 3
made!”
