Aw Crap! A new HELLBOY II trailer!

Nice! by Aloy	Jun 28th, 2008 02:55:05 AM
Still my top pick for the summer.
why a new one now by mmaddox3	Jun 28th, 2008 02:55:36 AM

DAMN YOU M. NIGHT. SHYAMALAN! by --- Emperor ---	Jun 28th, 2008 03:00:21 AM
YOU FILTHY PUNJABI PIECE OF DOG SHIT, I AM SICK OF YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC "EPIPHANIES". BACK TO THE RAT INFESTED DOG HOLE FROM WHENCE YOU CAME.
i saw him speak about the Hobbit yesterday by bright boy	Jun 28th, 2008 03:00:48 AM
said he wants to make it into two movies. the first one is a straight adaptation of the book. the second will be half continuation of his version and half lead-in to peter jackson's trilogy, which will be made to look exactly like the OG LOTR right down to the lenses and lighting he will use. sounds interesting, but he said he'll make the first one and wait to see if the second feels organic after that. he also says "fuck" a lot, and hellboy is supposed to be more of a sequel to his movie rather than a continuation of the comic's original story. that's mostly all i got.
This is the movie of the summer... by apolo_sputnik	Jun 28th, 2008 03:13:39 AM
After Batman, of course!
"This film contains depictions of tobacco consumption" by mefrog	Jun 28th, 2008 03:25:30 AM
Anyone see that at the end? Has the MPAA been doing that for awhile or is this new? Oh yeah... film looks fucking badass.
I REALLY want Universal Monsters vs. Hellboy. by JediRob	Jun 28th, 2008 03:26:40 AM
I am SO looking forward to this movie, but more so I want it to do well just for the sake of Del Toro's awesome idea for a 3rd flick.
Think Pickman's Model? by HornOrSilk	Jun 28th, 2008 03:51:39 AM
Is that how he does it?
Damn You Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Jun 28th, 2008 04:14:37 AM

Stinks of greatness by Reelheed	Jun 28th, 2008 04:47:49 AM
I love that animated prologue
Ron Perlman by palewook	Jun 28th, 2008 04:48:33 AM
as Hellboy makes it worth buying a ticket.
Yobo: He made Pan's for $19 million. by Rev. Slappy	Jun 28th, 2008 04:50:59 AM
Which is even more astonishing. Pan's Labyrinth may be the greatest looking for the budget movie of all time.
Technical issues... by Roderich	Jun 28th, 2008 04:51:15 AM
the 720 and 1080-Versions of the HD-trailers look like they have been filmed from a tv-set or a bad videocassette. the small HD-one is fine though. This film looks AWESOME btw. I hope we can see it on Fantasy Filmfest in Berlin, Hellboy 1 was shown there too long before release.
Shoulf be great by TomHooligan	Jun 28th, 2008 05:38:09 AM
I think there's no doubt that this is gonna be an improvement over the first one. Del Toro is just a genius when it comes to this stuff. Plus its nice to see that he's not using cgi for all his characters. After watching shoddy films like "I am Legend" i think there's something to be said for a director that chooses practical effects over computer generated stuff. The bit where Hellboy walks around the fairytail land gave me flashbacks of Tatooine from New Hope.
bloody hell by TomHooligan	Jun 28th, 2008 05:39:32 AM
Shoulf!? I'm blaming the bad spelling on my fat fingers.

Guillermo strikes gold...again by Shub-Wankalot	Jun 28th, 2008 05:53:39 AM
Hellboy 2 is the movie to see. I'm there.
First one sucked ass, this one looks about the same by Atticus Finch	Jun 28th, 2008 07:19:07 AM
This looks like more of the same cliched shit that made the first one blow chunks, so I won't be wasting my money.
Hope it's better than the last one... by Sledge Hammer	Jun 28th, 2008 07:20:07 AM
...which fell kind of flat and was distinctly uninvolving, possibly due to it's extremely poorly pacing, and a bunch of performances that just didn't quite sell as well as they should have done (Abe was great though). We'll see.
"extremely poorly pacing"? Jesus Christ... by Sledge Hammer	Jun 28th, 2008 07:26:53 AM
...makes me wonder if english is indeed my first language. Anyway, my point was I personally found the first to be a disappointment, despite everything on the screen it was all just so detached and uninvolving, so I hope this time DelToro has managed to deliver more than just empty, soulless spectacle.
That sucks... by Ladonite	Jun 28th, 2008 07:28:47 AM
See, I'm quite excited about this film, but this trailer sucks complete balls? I mean, for some reason the footage they put in from the first film (also, what the fuck is up with that) is interlaced, so it just looks dodgy. And the trailer itself isn't really exciting. Do people not understand the point of a trailer? Marketing requires excitement, especially with a film. This isn't selling it for me like the first two trailers did, it feels like a mis-step. Oh well...
Damn You MCMLXXVI by TheyCallMeMisterBay	Jun 28th, 2008 08:03:40 AM
Damn You MCMLXXVI
Beautiful.................. by crackerfarmboy	Jun 28th, 2008 08:09:20 AM
This film, like the first one, is absolutely beautiful to behold. Look at the character design, the colors, the costumes, the CGI, it's all breathtaking. The first film was good but not great. It started off strong with the whole Nazi mysticism thing, but it really degenerated from there. GDT really has an eye for cinematic design. Oh and watch the Prologue, it's really cool!
I saw WALL E last night... by cornponious	Jun 28th, 2008 08:26:36 AM
and it was AWESOME!!1 It made me feel like Willis O’Brien. Also cock.
WOW... by lonestaricon	Jun 28th, 2008 08:46:46 AM
Guillermo's vision and realization of Hellboy are just amazing. Cha-ching!$!$!$
Oy Singer !!! by 2LeggedFreak	Jun 28th, 2008 09:01:52 AM
Thats why people expected just a little more action from $200 million you splodged on Superman. Just hope GDT learns from the last Hell Boy which was pretty good until the 3rd act, which was pretty awful. After Pans Labyrinth though, my hopes are now extremely high. Go GDT !! Oh and damn you Micahel Bay, Bryan Singer, George Lucas and M Night Shyamalan. Celery.
It might as well go directly to DVD. by Darksider	Jun 28th, 2008 09:04:51 AM
Enjoy your one week at the box office before THE DARK KNIGHT opens.
Looks like it ends... by FILMFUNK	Jun 28th, 2008 09:15:15 AM
With another big end of game Monster Baddy! I quite enjoyed the first one but it lacked a certain something! and I can never remember how HellBoy actually comes through to our world because from what I can remember there's a portal but you never see him come thru, there's no reason for him to come through? but maybe i missed a bit!?
Just saw The Devil's Backbone last night... by rbatty024	Jun 28th, 2008 09:20:30 AM
and it was fantastic. I'm gearing up to watch in awe as Del Toro's latest unreels before me at the local cineplex. His ability to go back and forth between Summer blockbuster and small independent films is damn near unparalleled. Not only is he a great filmmaker but he obviously knows a thing or two about the business and how to get films made.
Bitch Whine Moan...1st was totally solid by quantize	Jun 28th, 2008 09:21:03 AM
which is a lot more than can be said for that Snoozefest™ Batman Begins.
Latino directors know how to stretch a budget by terry1978	Jun 28th, 2008 10:28:32 AM
Robert Rodriguez, Del Toro...these two motherfuckers can take a budget of 19 million and make it look like ILM and Stan Winston spent billions on the fx. Just sign their asses up for every summer.
Awesome by rogueleader66	Jun 28th, 2008 10:37:18 AM
Cannot wait to see this
J.R.R. Tolkien could have gotten tips from GDT. by Cotton McKnight	Jun 28th, 2008 10:37:33 AM
Yeah, I said it, and I meant it.
The reason for the inclusion of stuff from HB1 by Cotton McKnight	Jun 28th, 2008 10:44:49 AM
is probably that not a lot of people saw the first movie. That's my guess, but i'm sure that's what it is. It's not "dodgy", it's very smart- there are probably a large group of people thinking "hey this looks cool, but I didn't see the first one". They will probably promise themselves to watch it on dvd first, never do, and then that's one less ticket at the box office. Also, I was completely unaware that The Hobbit was in his charge before I made that comment about Tolkien. That should be very interesting.
Oh WOW by erichaislar	Jun 28th, 2008 10:47:59 AM
That looks Epic.
Sweet! by REDD	Jun 28th, 2008 11:18:24 AM
Del Toro, please team up with Clive Barker for a "Nightbreed" remake. Eh, never mind, just give us the Lovecraft movie!
Where can I hear that radio interview??? by ODM	Jun 28th, 2008 11:30:14 AM
Can someone link me up, I'd love to hear what Guillermo was talking about.
CRAP is right! by thebearovingian	Jun 28th, 2008 11:31:21 AM
Seriously, guys? Hellboy? To each pig his own slop.
Damn you ernest borgnine by Porrohman	Jun 28th, 2008 11:56:50 AM
Damn you ernest borgnine
the opening by Nivek666	Jun 28th, 2008 12:29:30 PM
I thought they shot this as live action, with the story told by wooden puppets? Thats what was indicated in the "Art of Hellboy 2" book. They had photos and everything. Is this just an animatic that was put up for promotion, or is this the new beginning? BTW- Screw all you haters.
Movie 3 by Alientoast	Jun 28th, 2008 12:34:15 PM
Movie 3 should be about Nazi-brains in robots, lead by the clockwork assassin. Then Mecha-Hitler will be revealed at the end, who Red dispatches with a bazooka to the head as a homage to Bionic Commando.
the opening by trollmeister	Jun 28th, 2008 12:35:16 PM
Hey...the animated comic on Apple is an online only version of a Comic that Universal created for Wondercon that gives the backstory to the Golden Army. It's not part of the movie but a story extension.
Oh, God. Cinemagic makes me mad... by GeekySciFiAnimeFreak	Jun 28th, 2008 12:54:42 PM
All they play, repeatedly: Young Sherlock Holmes, Pan's Labyrinth, Spiderwick Chronicles, Kung-Fu Panda and Wall-E. Every time I have put it on there for the past week, those are the titles I have seen. And, yes, I know there are people who like those titles, but continuously play them? Why not play something new? Maybe a few scores by this small-timer named John Williams, or a guy named John Barry. Maybe, perhaps Alan Silvestri, Howard Shore....Maybe some Rocky, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings.. you know... something for us geeks.. I just don't get it.
Paisa power... by dopeness	Jun 28th, 2008 12:59:05 PM
... half the budget. Awesome director btw.
The problem I have with Hellboy... by Rameses	Jun 28th, 2008 01:16:45 PM
is the main character himself...he looks awesome , but comes across as just a mix of wolverine and Ben Grimm.He doesn't seem to have his own character somehow.
It looks like an animatic by Gozu	Jun 28th, 2008 01:19:05 PM
Which is still pretty cool. Definitely an After Effects special.
Finally! Now THAT trailer kicks ASS! by abysstare	Jun 28th, 2008 01:24:27 PM
Maybe Universal is starting to realize that they need to actually, you know, PROMOTE their films if they want to make any money. If they're smart, they get this shit all over the place real fast, because they have a lot of awareness raising to do.
Are you F*ing Kidding me --Emperor-- by Galvanick_Lucifer	Jun 28th, 2008 01:40:13 PM
look, you can hate Night's films as much as you want, and whether said in jest or not, calling him a 'filthy Punjabi' is racist, stupid and offensive. When is it going to be okay to insult someone for their work (or lack of work) and not castigate an entire group of people? Say that with another group, black, Jewish, women, hell, white person and there would be hellish backlash. But I guess Indians and others are just 'filthy' and can be treated any way a moron who calls himself --Emperor-- sees fit. If AICN can post this stuff unfiltered, it's a sad testament to civil discourse.

FILMFUNK by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 28th, 2008 02:02:22 PM
hb doesnt actually come through the portal (the vortex created by rasputin) - once the portal is open hb just materializes at a random spot in the general vicinity - the first hellboy movie is great - it is unfairly maligned - it played out like a hb comic - hit all the right notes - i find its better with repeat viewings - theres a lot to enjoy there - its not a giant loud superhero movie - but it rivals and surpasses a lot of the big ones
Galvanick_Lucifer by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 28th, 2008 02:04:49 PM
i agree - its as offensive as someone attacking spielberg for being jewish because they didnt like the new indy movie - there are some real assholes in here
Hellboy is a demon that can't die, but.... by terry1978	Jun 28th, 2008 02:05:10 PM
But the stake of the world is what matters. Even if he can't die, if he can't defeat the villains, we're all fucked. That's where the threat is.
I've been looking forward to this movie about as much by CrichtonAstronut	Jun 28th, 2008 02:09:44 PM
as Iron Man and The Dark Knight. I remember seeing the first one and thinking these are really cool, fun characters. I love Hellboy Ron Perlman's great, Selma Blair Liz, and Doug Jones Abe Sapien. I just remember thinking if only they took these great characters established in the first movie and put them in an awesome asskicking epic with a lot more to do, and damn if they didn't do just that.
like them elves by Staldo	Jun 28th, 2008 02:11:26 PM
Now those are elves.Not floaty milquetoast Tolkien elves, xenophobic, arrogant nazi-esque Lord Dunsany elves. And Hellboy' beating the crap out of them. Yes please
Richard Stark by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 28th, 2008 02:21:15 PM
you just proved my point - "the beards jewish nature could have affected the movie"? - what do you mean exactly
I'll never get the haters by DoctorWho?	Jun 28th, 2008 02:22:40 PM
Ripping on Batman Begins, Hellboy and now TDK and Hellboy II BEFORE they even see them. I understand not LOVING them...but calling them shit because a fight scene wasn't choreographed exactly to their wet dream specifications...or calling Del Toro a hack is just SO over the top. I'm thankful to have such great efforts being made at bringing stuff like this to the big screen and for the most part suceeding. I think Del Toro and Jackson together are going to make the Hobbit better than any of the LOTR installments. Just a hunch.
immortality by Staldo	Jun 28th, 2008 02:28:22 PM
If two indestructible creatures fight, the tension lies in finding out which creature is more indestructable. Fantasy films thrive on split infinitives.
Del Toro's passion is so great, I love and forgive all by Stormwatcher	Jun 28th, 2008 02:30:41 PM
But I don;t think there will be any excuses for how awesome this installment will be., Thank god they got it away from SoNY and into Universal. I love Universal,
Comic artist Michael Turner passed away today by terry1978	Jun 28th, 2008 02:53:57 PM

Hellboy's friends aren't immortal by Gozu	Jun 28th, 2008 02:56:12 PM
It's like Superman. Superman can't die, but everyone else in his main supporting cast is mortal. That's why he's always saving Lois Lane or Jimmy Olsen.

I mean, I want to see the movie, but that was about as artless and flat as a movie trailer can get.

So fucking tired of the bitter haters on this site by PhxMonsterGuy	Jun 28th, 2008 05:54:23 PM
Wow...some of you nasty ol' queens really need to take a good hard look at yourselves. You are truly going to turn into that bitter old hag who screams at the neighborhood kids for letting their ball bounce onto her lawn. It truly seems that you only derive pleasure by being nasty, bitter and hateful towards well, just about everything. What sad pathetic lives that you can't even enjoy a goddamn big dumb movie. Sad.
The Founder by mynemaborat	Jun 28th, 2008 07:05:52 PM
i just read through some of that talkback for 'latauro has seen hancock'.... the one where The Founder accused aicn of being racist. yes he did insinuate aicn of being racist, not by being unfair against will smith, but by comparing the site to fox news and its views against obama... those idiots who think mori thinks he was called racist by being unfair to will smith are fucking MORONS... it was the fox news thing. fuck, so many talkbackers are ignorant, petty and DUMB but think they're really smart. just because you're a nerd, doesn't mean you're smart!
Kai_Mah'gra by mynemaborat	Jun 28th, 2008 07:15:40 PM
you are the biggest fool of the bunch... moris point about talkback censorship and infringing on freedom of speech is valid. why is it up to aicn staff to patrol the talkbacks and scan every post to weed out everything that could be considered racist, sexist etc?? its not practical, and the talkbackers should take accountability for their posts, NOT the site. oh... and you're posts are so filled with needless adjectives it practically screams 'look! i have a big vocabularly, i really do! I'm smart!'... really, it just comes across forced and pretentious. you don't need to write a 20 word sentence when 5 words will suffice... not in aicn talkbacks for god sake
One of the best superhero flix by Ace Hunter	Jun 28th, 2008 07:27:51 PM
I've always maintained that Hellboy was one of the better superhero flix, if not the best. Ironman must be viewed a second time to see if it surpasses HB. I always thought the first half of the original Superman joined with the General Zod threat from Superman 2 would make the perfect Superman movie.

A "peek" at creature designs from MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. by BurnHollywood	Jun 28th, 2008 09:54:29 PM
http://tinyurl.com/5ot7l6 When I first saw a trailer from HB2, the shot of the demon with dozens of eyes on its wings made me say, "Son of a bitch, these guys are totally ripping off Wayne Douglas Barlowe's INFERNO!" Took a quick IMDB search to find out why...a large number of the creature designs for HB2 (and the first HB) ARE Barlowe's. For those not in the know, Barlowe is one of the most unique talents in the SF/Fantasy illustration racket. Many years ago, in the early eighties, he did a "Field Guide To Extraterrestrials" that included one of the creatures from the Lovecraft classic, an Old One, at the link above...a future Del Toro collaboration could be very cool, and very creepy, what with Barlowe's utterly alien approach.

Richard Stark by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 29th, 2008 01:11:43 AM
"south park" is intended as comedy - sarcasm - irony - parody - etc. - but you sounded like you were trying to make some valid serious point - the point you were trying to make is the very thing that "south park" pokes fun at - or rather, "south park" and 'the simpsons" make fun of guys like you that think that way - like when grampa simpson makes "drunk irishman" references - the joke isnt on the irish - its on guys in the real world that share grampa's sentiments - get it?
JimmyJoe RedSky hits it on the head... by Galvanick_Lucifer	Jun 29th, 2008 03:21:02 AM
Idiots who think their right to offend everyone is the primary value of civilized society don't get that most modern humor satirizes the inherent stupidity in blindly following those rights without facts or integrity. Yes Richard Stark, you genius of bravery, you can make all the Jew/N word/bigoted references on earth you want. The world will feel free to spot you for the cheap, prejudiced dufus you are. Feel free, use all the references you want. We shall simply judge you by what you say.
FUCK MICHAEL BAY!!! by Han Cholo	Jun 29th, 2008 05:11:31 AM
FUCK YOU!!!!!
The problem with the first Hellboy...... by Han Cholo	Jun 29th, 2008 05:15:23 AM
was that it didn't have enough variety. I think they should have had more monsters in it but they kept resurrecting that one until it got old. Plus there were pacing issues but all in all it was a good effort. Hellboy 2 looks amazing, however with a shit load of monsters and variety out the ass. This almost reminds me of a Jim Henson film and I'm sure this is the direction he would have went in had he lived on and made more movies. I say this is the summer film to beat, though I know it won't make Batman numbers, I think it will do well.
i love the Hellboy world by David Cloverfield	Jun 29th, 2008 08:03:40 AM
Nazi occultists, pissed off magical beings, ancient elf robots, super powered humans... wonderful characters and designs. And from 70 mil... holy shit. I can't see how can someone hate on this trailer.
Animated hellboy by nukethefridge	Jun 29th, 2008 08:25:39 AM
is pretty poor. Love the comics and the first movie though
Han Cholo, i agree to an extent by JimmyJoe RedSky	Jun 29th, 2008 08:54:33 AM
except for the issue you and a lot of others seem to have with hb1's pacing - that said, if you know anyone that can make a similar movie with the same scale and production values etc. on the same budget seek them out - hb1 was by most standards a small movie, but it played out with some real grandeur where needed - shot in prague to save money, which there wasnt much to begin with, then piss-poor backing and promotion from the studio - and yet the movie is awesome - i was excited to see a hb movie, and very happy with the results - imagine how bad it couldve been - i heard del toro couldve gotten a bigger budget had he cast vin diesel as hb - and maybe we couldve gotten more monsters and bigger sets in that case, but ron pearlman is hb - he was born to play him - im getting long winded - anyway, i hope this new one is a big hit so we can get a franchise - id like to see movie versions of ben daimio, kate corrigan, roger the homunculus, and lobster johnson - a bprd movie (maybe with hb as just a supporting character)
This trailer was not 非常に奇妙な enough... by Johnno	Jun 29th, 2008 09:44:56 AM
Needs a bit more 常 and a lot less 奇...
Does that Mitt come off???? by Specimen64	Jun 29th, 2008 10:13:02 AM
I might be a bit poor in my Hellboy knowledge but I did not think that the glove came off. If that is the case does he have a second "normal" right hand to light those cigars?? Other than that...I can't fucking wait for this.
Del Toro and Crew is Mexican, CHEAP LABOR. by mistergreen	Jun 29th, 2008 10:43:09 PM
That's why he can make the movie for $70Mill.

Continuity Question by Fatbeard	Jun 30th, 2008 12:18:06 PM
In the trailer, when Hellboy says "I wouldn't do that if I were you." he lights his cigar, but with hir right hand. Shouldn't that be the right hand of doom?
Hellboy was crap by Cedar_Room	Jun 30th, 2008 02:58:12 PM
so this has some way to go to qualify as a good film.
