Hellboy II Confirmed -- woo-hoo?

[your father is]

Ron Perlman talked to About.com once again confirming the sequel is on. "Monday morning (April 5, 2004) I awoke to the news that 'Hellboy 2' was going to be greenlit," the actor said, "Mike Mignola has provided us with chapters and chapters of possibilities in the comic book. I'll be the first one online to find out [what's next]. Guillermo is key. I don't know anything beyond that. Selma, I would love to see. I would love to see everybody back. I'd love to see John Hurt back. They still have to write it so it's going to be a while."

Good to hear.

THe fiorst one was good and hopefully the second will even be better

Woo-hoo indeed. That is great news.

Perlman was born for the role. His character, anatomy, personality fits HB like a glove.

Woo-hoo indeed. That is great news.

I still haven't seen the first one yet, but I really want to -- just been too busy. I'll take the responses in this post to get off my ass and... uh... get back on it in the theater.

Go see it! Great movie...Pearlman is genius in the roll. Great to hear a sequel is coming.

I'm pleased, even though I wasn't thrilled with the first film. I think a sequel has the potential to be much better -- if del Toro will just relax and have a little more faith in his audience.

Perlman is reason enough to want to see a sequel.

"Mmm, nachos."

You'll defintely want to see this. I finally got a chance to today and it was great. There were a few minor things I didn't like (the head of the FBI eing the cliched "guy in charge who doesn't like the hero" and I didn't like the actor who played Rasputin at all).

I'll definitely want to see the sequel. Hopefully, if they can't get del Toro back, Sam Raimi would be a good fit, especially if he goes back to his Evil Dead roots.

Bring on the sequel. I enjoyed Hellboy.

I will freely admit that I know nothing about the comic other than the fact that it exists, but from that point of view I had a fantastic time with the movie.

So I can hope for the sequel, even though I do tend to have sequelphobia...
