HELLBOY MOVIE RELEASE
The Hellboy movie will be released on Memorial Day weekend 2004, it was announced on Friday.
"We are confident that with Guillermo del Toro at the helm, Hellboy will deliver the fantastic action, special effects and excitement that summer moviegoers have come to expect," said Revolution Studios Partner Tom Sherak.
"The swell in business over Memorial Day weekend is an excellent spot to place an event-style project like Hellboy," said Jeff Blake, Vice Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, "especially given the current playability of comic book-based films. Hellboy not only has a loyal core following but is joined by a growing general audience making this date the perfect choice."
The film, written and directed by del Toro, is currently in production in Prague.
Here's how the film is described:
"Born in the flames of hell and brought to Earth for the purposes of evil, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was rescued from sinister forces by the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero. At Broom's Bureau of Paranormal Research and Development, Hellboy forms an unlikely family with the telepathic Mer-Man Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can control fire. With their fantastic powers they stand as the only line of defense against the evil that threatens mankind, hidden from the very society they protect."
