Don’t hold your breath for Hellboy 3 after all

There’s a notion going around today that Legendary Pictures, which put out both Pacific Rim and Guillermo del Toro’s forthcoming movie Crimson Peak, could be doing Hellboy 3 as well. Del Toro fueled this notion with his comments to one reporter today — but Legendary founder Thomas Tull tells us it’s not likely. Earlier today,…

Good guy Ron Perlman reprises his Hellboy role for a very special audience of one

It’s not Hellboy 3 but it’s a scene that warms our Hellboy-loving hearts. Ron Perlman donned the red makeup again not for a movie or a promotional event, but to fulfill a young boy’s Make-a-Wish dreams. Young Zachary’s heart’s desire was to meet Hellboy and become Hellboy himself. The Make-a-Wish foundation made it happen, having…

Didn’t get your fill of awkward CG movie-making from The Spirit? Then watch the trailer for Bunraku, which has an amazing cast: Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman and Kevin McKidd. But a very sour Frank Miller taste to it even though it was written and directed by Guy Moshe. The movie is…

This week on Cult Sci-Fi we’ve got big news surrounding one of the most fantastic indie flicks staring Elvis, Bubba Ho-Tep.

Ron Perlman Doesn’t Judge, Even If You’re A British Grave Robber

Possibly the most unlikely pairing we’ve seen in a while: Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, plays an (Irish? can’t tell through the terrible accent) priest listening to the confession of an seasoned grave robber Dominic Monaghan (Lost).

Hellboy II Provides More Viral Photo Fanwank

Hellboy II: The Golden Army will apparently be trotting out artwork much in the same way that Batman: The Dark Knight has been. At least you don’t have to wait for any cards to flip over, or decipher obscure clues to see this one. But… it tells us nothing, other than the fact that yes,…
