Hellboy 1 was such a huge, huge overperformer on Blu-ray and ancillary markets.
The reason there’s a Hellboy 2 is not because the studios were passionate about the first one, it’s because the numbers made sense. Hellboy 3 is a wish that will never be fulfilled because the first two movies made really good profits on a market that doesn’t exist anymore. You’ve been talking about resurrecting Hellboy for a third installment. If it leads to two seasons, it’s great - if it leads to one, it’s fine. It’s one thing to talk about 400-plus minutes of screen time, and another thing to really lay them out.
We’re thinking about doing one more season, for sure, then in the writers room, which already is active, we’re going to see how it lays out. So we’ll stay between four or five seasons. Carlton has taken liberty with the books because he is the showrunner, but I do think the shape is going to be about the same. I don’t think we’ll go beyond that because we’re going to finish more or less on the structure of the books. We always planned it to last four or five seasons. You’ve been very active on the small screen as well. We started the war with the Kaiju, we won the war with the Kaiju, and now it’s a postwar of those two universes. When we went with Steven we showed him everything we were developing and he said, “I like this from this universe, I like this from this element, I want to bring them into the movie.” It’s easy to expand because you have not only the Jaeger-human universe and the Kaiju-alien universe, but the fact that you are now able to play in a very history-filled universe. I think we need to let the live action lead.

In fact, the sequel takes some ideas that we created for the animated series originally. If and when the animated series happens, we are mixing them. How are you expanding the universe through this film and the Pacific Rim animation series? Guillermo del Toro Talks 'Trollhunters' and Career Choices in Annecy He’s not only a director, but he’s actually a guy I respect and admire, and it’s his movie.ĭo you weigh in on casting? Can you talk about attaching John Boyega? I leave those communications to Steven DeKnight. I can tell you this - a lot of the cast from the first movie is coming back. As a producer I learned not to declare anything about a movie I’m not directing. What’s going on with the cast for Pacific Rim 2? You haven’t brought back actors Charlie Hunnam or Rinko Kikuchi? THR spoke to the filmmaker about his various ongoing projects. There are also props from The Strain, his FX series now nearing the end of its run (maybe), and even a few objects from Pan’s Labyrinth, the dark fairytale that won three Oscars and is currently working its way to the stage as a musical. 27, then move onto the Minneapolis Institute of Art - also contains more recent Del Toro creations, including pieces from his 2013 monster movie Pacific Rim, which is currently casting for the sequel, Pacific Rim: Maelstrom (Del Toro is producing, not directing) as well as being turned into an animated series. But the tour - which will remain at LACMA until Nov. The exhibit includes a stuffed werewolf Del Toro constructed when he was only 7 years old. They really connect in a very fundamental way to my identity.” “I love monsters the way people worship holy images. “To me, this is a spiritual calling,” he told The Hollywood Reporter of his penchant for hoarding horror props. Del Toro, however, will be zipping back to Los Angeles on July 30 to help open his exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, “At Home With Monsters,” a sampling of ephemera, mementos, books, art, models and film props from Del Toro’s personal collection (so vast, it occupies two entire houses on the outskirts of L.A.). But the 51-year-old horror maestro won’t make it to San Diego this year because he’s in Toronto about to begin shooting The Shape of Water, a supernatural drama set during the Cold War starring Michael Shannon, Doug Jones and Michael Stuhlbarg. Comic-Con without Guillermo Del Toro makes about as much sense as Hellboy without mutton chops.
