Thanks to ComingSoon.net we are alerted to an article over at IFMagazine with information on the upcoming sequel Hellboy 2.
Apparently Hellboy helmer, Guillermo del Toro, revealed at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors that the sequel has moved from Columbia Pictures over to Paramount Pictures.
The magazine reports the following:
“We’re moving studios right now,” says Del Toro. “They don’t have a deal with Sony anymore and we are looking for financing for Hellboy 2. It’s at Paramount right now. It’s bigger in scale, but not necessarily in budget. Abe Sapien has a much bigger part, and we’re keeping closer to the mythology of the comics.” Del Toro giggled with glee as he revealed a singer whose music would be part of the film. “There is a song by Barry Manilow, and you’ll have to find out about how that fits in. I know you are all saying ‘what the fuck is that?!'”
Personally I thought Hellboy had its flaws, but overall it was a fun movie and I would love to see a sequel. I hope it moves forward.
