'Hellboy 3' News: Ron Perlman Says Idea for New Movie is 'Mind-Blowing'
In recent weeks actor Ron Perlman has been seeing trying to raise awareness of his crusade to get production rolling with 'Hellboy 3.'
The third installment is something the actor has shown much interest in, and while diehard 'Hellboy' fans are all for the film getting made, it is now a decision that will be left to the studio.
Perlman has been seen doing more campaigning for the movie in a recent interview with Variety, promising that the story for the film is "mind-blowing." He explains:
"The discussion has now overtaken me rather than me overtaking the discussion. And here I am in Monte Carlo, working on my suntan, and people are still asking me about Hellboy III, so I guess it's still news. But I'll tell you the same thing I've been telling everyone else, the Hellboy saga was meant to have a beginning, a middle and an end... we owe you a resolve."
"There will come a time where he will have to live up to his destiny, which is to be the beast of the apocalypse, or if he has to suppress that destiny by sacrificing himself in some way so as to not destroy mankind but do the opposite. And that's the discussion of the third film; I think it's a discussion worth having, and I think it's something we owe the fans."
Guillermo Del Toro would be the one to direct the third movie, and while the busy filmmaker hasn't yet had a chance to speak with Perlman, the actor explains Toro's original plan:
"It's in Guillermo's head. And he's shared enough of it with me to know that it will be mind-blowing. I mean it will be mind-blowing. It will be great cinema. And if you are somebody who followed the first two movies, it will be even more mind-blowing because we have something... if you liked the first one and the second one, we have something really rock 'em, shock 'em in the third one."
