Sci Fi Wire caught up with HELLBOY creator Mike Mignola at Comic-Con International and got some cool info on what the second movie will entail. I’ll let the man speak for himself:
“Wherein the first film was sort of the H.P. Lovecraft kind of monsters and the Nazis and the mad-scientist stuff, this one is geared much more toward the folklore element of the Hellboy [comics]…”
“That really is a big element of the Hellboy stories, and that element was completely not in the first film. So the idea of the second film would be sort of the other half of the Hellboy world…I don’t know that Russian [mythology will figure in] so much, but certainly that idea of these ancient creatures that have been kind of shoved out of the mainstream and are living underground [will]. It’s about that kind of stuff.”
Tasty, eh? Now you can go read the full interview if ya like. It includes some news on one favorite character who made the grade, and one who’s still on the bench this time around.
