I love the first two Hellboy films and also quite enjoyed the 2019 version as well (sorry haters)😆.

Much like The Crow reboot, there have been no images released yet so we don’t know what actor Jack Kesy looks like as the titular Hellboy.

    Not at all a fan of Brian Taylor’s directing style, and it seems like a terrible fit to me for what little I know of Hellboy. Then again I thought Neil Marshall was a perfect fit before 2019 came out, so…guess I’ll just withhold judgment.

      There is an hour-long making-of documentary on the Hellboy 2019 Blu-ray but Marshall doesn’t appear once from what I remember. We later found out he was unhappy with the final results but not appearing in the documentary suggests it was worse than that I think.

        Oh interesting. I’ve got a lot of affection for him as a filmmaker in large part because The Descent remains my favorite theater experience of all time, but the results of his particular serious-camp style are certainly…volatile. But if you’re gonna gamble on him, ya gotta let the dice roll. This is assuming his dissatisfaction comes from outside interference.

              One of the rare perks of being in the UK. It’s great film.

              In the UK Descent ending, which is director Neil Marshall’s original and preferred conclusion, the vision of Juno shocks Sarah back into reality, a reality in which she’s still trapped in the cave and had never managed to escape. Sarah has clearly lost her mind, and sees a vision of her dead daughter in the cave with her, as the Crawlers look to be closing in. It’s a short extension, but it’s the difference between Sarah living and dying.
