Is the time right for a third Hellboy movie?
Actor Ron Perlman and director Gullermo del Toro think it might be the perfect time to finish the trilogy of films about the popular comic book character.
Perlman makes an appearance in del Toro’s upcoming Giant Monsters Vs. Giant Machines flick Pacific Rim, and during a promotional appearance for the movie, the director teased the possibility of a third Hellboy to the blog Shock Till You Drop.According to the site’s Ryan Turek, del Toro told him “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, founder of Legendary Entertainment] 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.”
Later, Perlman told Turek that del Toro’s joy during the filming of Pacific Rim was what put the idea in his head. “I loved working for Legendary and I know for Guillermo working on Pacific Rim was one of his greatest experiences,” he explained. “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.”
