HELLBOY 2 defeats two studios' plans to keep him under wraps - joins his fellow monsters at UNIVERSAL!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... Guillermo Del Toro - just can't quit on HELLBOY 2. And yes, that is a very "Brokeback" statement. Guillermo's love for the big red guy, brought him back from the clutches of development hell.

That HELLBOY 2 will call UNIVERSAL home is a strange story. You see - that's where HELLBOY was originally pitched. And it was ultimately Stacey Snider, who saw the project differently from Del Toro that caused Guillermo to seek the project elsewhere. Snider is now at Dreamworks - and no longer standing between Mignola's creation and the UNIVERSAL home of classic movie monsters.

I had given up hope that I'd ever see HELLBOY fighting the tooth fairy(s) - now I know I will see that glorious scene brought to life. Now - if only Mignola will let Guillermo bring a bit of "Lobster" to the film. HINT HINT MIKE!!!

HELLBOY is now set to showdown with THE DARK KNIGHT, IRON MAN and probably WOLVERINE in Summer 2008. Sounds like a comic fan's paradise.
