[Film-Reihe] Hellboy

IGN Comics: Yeah, just a small, little thing. What can you tell us about it? How is it progressing?

Mignola: Let's see… things are looking really, really good right now. We just spent 2 months doing pre-production here in L.A. and now we're kind of in between… as soon as Guillermo finishes with the Oscars (Pan's Labryinth, directed by Del Toro, has been nominated for six Academy Awards), which is pretty damn cool, he'll be going to Budapest to set up production offices there. I believe that's still the plan - things sometimes change day-to-day. In the next month or so we'll have an office in Budapest. That's where the last stage of pre-production will happen. We'll start filming probably in May.

IGN Comics: What can you tell us about the plot and villains?

Mignola: It's an original story that Guillermo and I came up with about two years ago. It actually reflects the direction the comic is going in. It's not in any way the same story, but it deals with similar things. The focus is more on the folklore and fairy tale aspect of Hellboy. It's not Nazis, machines and mad scientists but the old gods and characters who have been kind of shoved out of our world.

I kind of equate it to the whole American Indian situation. The Indians were shoved onto reservations. You had your old, wise Indians who said, "You know, this is the way it is. We can't fight anymore. We just have to accept our fate." You then have your Geronimo character saying, "Or we could just kill the White Man." That's kind of the situation we have in the film. We have our elf characters resigning to the way things are and then there's one saying, "Or we could take the world back." The main difference is - what if the Indians had a nuclear warhead? The elves have their equivalent of the weapon that is too terrible to use. What if this guy decided to use it?

IGN Comics: Will we see Hellboy leaving the B.P.R.D.?

Mignola: Well, that I can't say. There is certainly a lot of development with the Hellboy character and the Liz Sherman character. There is a lot of development with Abe Sapien. We bring in one character from the B.P.R.D. series, Johann Kraus, who is basically a gas in a bag. So he'll be joining the team of guys.

With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world's toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army." Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy").

After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).

Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development--pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann--the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who's accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.

"I arrived here Thursday May 17th to begin my 6 month stay for the production of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. I am very excited to be reprising one of my favorite characters, Abe Sapien the blue fishman."

He continued, "Along with him, I am also tackling a couple of other heavily made-up characters: The Chamberlain, a doorkeeper for the King of the alternate world, and The Angel Of Death, kind of self explanatory, but not to be feared, as she (yes, she) is SUCH a cool moment in the film that will leave you wondering when you might see her again in films to come."

Jones added, "I have been rehearsing scenes with Guillermo and the lovely Anna Walton, who plays Princess Nuala. Without giving anything away, I will simply tell you that this is one fantastic actress, and her highness may bring out a side of Abe Sapien that you've never seen before."
