 <\/p>\n

When I first saw Hellboy<\/strong> <\/em>in theaters I was blown away. I kept asking myself “Why have I never heard of this guy before? That was amazing.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In the years since then, I had become well-versed in the lore. I knew and loved the characters, and even the changes made by the films. \u00a0Then when Hellboy 2: The Golden Army<\/em><\/strong> came out, I was first in line. I saw it at its midnight release, and by the end of the film, I hoped for a 3rd film to tie up the\u00a0story-line.<\/p>\n

But years have passed and it never came.<\/p>\n

Recently thanks to some digging by the guys over at ComicBookMovie<\/a>, an older interview with Hellboy<\/em><\/strong> creator\u00a0Mike Mignola<\/strong> was unearthed in which he expresses his opinion of the possibility of a 3rd film:<\/p>\n

“The biggest problem I see as far as PR for the next billion years is explaining endlessly not only that there’s no “Hellboy 3” movie, but it’s going to be explaining “It’s a series, but it’s not a monthly series.” The numbers for “Hellboy In Hell” will continue, but it’s going to come out whenever it comes out.”<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously this gave many the impression that he\u00a0didn’t\u00a0want the film to be made, but for those \u00a0who are friends with him on Facebook<\/a>, he recently offered something that may give many a breath of fresh air on the matter:<\/div>\n
\n
There are a couple articles out floating around out there right now that sort of make it sound like I don’t want a third movie made or even implying that somehow I might in some way stopping a third one from being made–That’s just stupid. I have no idea why these things are popping up now. I’m asked all the time if a third film is in the works and I always say there isn’t–Because there isn’t. Simple as that. Of course I would be thrilled to see a third one made. I know Ron would like to do it and I think if ANYONE could talk Universal into it it would be del Toro. After #2 someone at the studio assured me that they would NEVER make a third and that was the last contact I had with anyone at Universal. That was a long time ago and things change and I do hope things will change, but who knows. Certainly it all has nothing to do with me. The fate of a third film is entirely somewhere between del Toro and Universal.<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Personally I dream of the day this film gets made. While many over look the fact that this film is no Avengers<\/strong><\/em> and obviously wont pull in a Billion dollars world wide, Hellboy 2<\/em><\/strong> not only got great reviews from basically everyone who saw it, but it pulled in twice its budget.<\/p>\n

Its not a a gamble here. The Fans want their conclusion, we want the end of the trilogy that began 10 years ago. And thanks to the\u00a0overwhelming\u00a0positive reception the pre-screenings that Pacific Rim<\/em><\/strong> pulled in, its not a hard stretch to think del Toro<\/strong> will have some weight on what his next project would be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
