Some of you might know that I’m a huge, big, enormous (okay, 5’4″) Hellboy fan. I was the dorky girl with the long-ish Louise Brooks bob and stripey socks and little vintage dresses way back when who actually bought the comics when they came out. I eagerly awaited each new issue of Hellboy, the guy at the comic store held them for me as soon as they arrived, and it was the guilty pleasure all my extra money went to after I got off the streets. That, and paint — for my paintings, which Hellboy’s gothic imagery and unusual coloring deeply informed.
But I digress. The trailer for Hellboy II is up and it looks: So. Fucking. Incredible. You can see it on Hellboy’s official site, or giant and really gorgeous in HD on Apple’s Hellboy II trailer page (totally worth it). From the trailer, the movie is clearly showcasing director Guillermo Del Toro pulling out all the stops, Ron Perlman at his snarkiest… And the stunning vintage sci-fi mechanical elements combined with fetishy influences has me drooling all over my keyboard right now…
::squeal!::
damn I should have told you that was out. First preview was at NYC comic con a bit back. It does look good.
Ps your hellboy care package ships Monday.
OMG, that is sooooo cool. I cannot wait for this to come out! AWESOME
It’s funny. I’m a huge comic-book fan, but I really didn’t enjoy Hellboy when it first came out. I wasn’t a big Mignola fan, I guess. But that all changed with the first film…absolutely awesome.
Can’t wait for #2!
