Hellboy 15th Anniversary 4K Blu-ray Posted August 12, 2019 04:40 PM by



Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on 4K Blu-ray Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy (2004). The release will be available for purchase on October 15.



Synopsis: From visionary writer/director Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water, Pacific Rim) comes HELLBOY, a supernatural action adventure based on Mike Mignola's popular Dark Horse Comics series of the same name. Born in the flames of hell and brought to Earth as an infant to perpetrate evil, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was rescued from sinister forces by the benevolent Dr. Broom (John Hurt), who raised him to be a hero. In Dr. Broom's secret Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, Hellboy creates an unlikely family consisting of the telepathic "Mer-Man" Abe Sapien (Doug Jones) and Liz Sherman (Selma Blair), the woman he loves who can control fire. Hidden from the very society that they protect, they stand as the key line of defense against an evil madman who seeks to reclaim Hellboy to the dark side and use his powers to destroy mankind.

Top reviewerTop contributor Rizor Aug 12, 2019 Finally! What was Sony waiting for? Rusty23 Aug 12, 2019 @Rizor Probably for the new Hellboy to flop

reanimator Aug 12, 2019 Yay! The real Hellboy on UHD at last!

spiderfan1985 Aug 12, 2019 YES!!!!! YES!!! Thank you Sony!!!!! Took you long enough. Now I will have the real deal.

KIDplus Aug 12, 2019 Finally it's happening! I didn't expect to get both versions in 4K. I also like that they went with the same cover art as the director's cut DVD and that they brought back some features cut from the blu-ray release.

Rocklandsboy Aug 12, 2019 The only thing still (apparently) missing is the isolated score and Beltrami commentary. The score is now available complete on CD but it would be nice to have restored it for this release. I guess I should just rip it from the DVD.

"...see? I dont like that."



Need this!

DandyDancing Aug 12, 2019 Been waiting for a while, nice to get a conformation.

Scott R. Aug 12, 2019 Day freaking one.

kopkiwi Aug 12, 2019 Yay. I hate only having the Golden Army, I needs my complete collection.

Geoff D Aug 12, 2019 Nice one Sony.

GenPion Aug 12, 2019 Great announcement. One of my favorites. FilmFanEddie Aug 12, 2019 October 15th is going to be a busy day! jtu128 Aug 12, 2019 One of my favorite comic book films. Apparently Im the only one who enjoyed the new one too.

wnicholas76 Aug 12, 2019 The first - and still the best - Hellboy film!! Day one for me, baby!!



And I still need to get my hands on Hellboy II: The Golden Army on 4K soon.. LarryDavis Aug 12, 2019 Great news!

starman15317 Aug 12, 2019 Shut up and take my money!!!

Top contributor Zoland2020 Aug 12, 2019 Not digging that new art cover but I'm still buying this on release day!

That was the only reason why I didn't get Hellboy II yet is because the first one wasn't on 4K yet back then.

Top reviewer llama Aug 13, 2019 Finally! The theatrical cut in HD and 4k!

OldPangYau Aug 13, 2019 Initially I was predicting that this would be from a 2K DI (which apparently was the master back in 2004 for its theatrical run), but upon reading that they're going back to the original negative for a true 4K remaster, I'm definitely excited for this one.

Top contributor Socko Aug 13, 2019 Dammit! Now I have to spend more money on the Hellboy franchise. They can make part III by now.

Top contributor GRD43L Aug 13, 2019 Great news. Now I can get Hellboy II 4K with a peace of mind.

Catalyst691 Aug 13, 2019 Hoping for some sort of combo pack with Golden Army and the animated films. Would be great if we could get the features from the Golden Army DVD into it as well then we'd have a fairly definitive collection. I could give or take the new film.

CrazyBlu-RayFan Aug 13, 2019 @Catalyst691



Unfortunately the multiple studios make it a rights nightmare to do something like that. The first Hellboy is owned by Sony, second is owned by Universal, and the animated films (as well as the 2019 movie) is owned by Lionsgate. royalrusts Aug 13, 2019 Please release in the UK.

psinsyd Aug 13, 2019 This is going to be amazing. Pre-order complete!

hoofhearted Aug 13, 2019 @GRD43L



I have done the same thing, waited to purchase Hellboy II until something official was announced about the first Hellboy.

LMFAObros Aug 14, 2019 Yay I can watch the theatrical cut

Catalyst691 Aug 14, 2019 @CrazyBlu-RayFan



Darn. That makes sense that Del Toro would have to ship the film around to get the funding. Shame about that as I was hoping we'd get a proper release like this for Golden Army. Ah, well. Guess I'll just hold only my DVD bonus disc from the blu for that one. Thanks for the info!

Top contributor Rob89 Aug 14, 2019 Hellboy is 15 years old?! Jesus.

RONDALLAS Aug 15, 2019 This will look great in Uhd and since I was nervous in picking up Hellboy 2, cause I figure a double pack will come out., I can get both now .

Charles Essie Aug 15, 2019 Not likely, they're under different ownership. Region_unlocked Aug 16, 2019 Nice to see they're using the old Director's Cut DVD art. I always thought that was a very cool looking cover back in the day. sockableclaw Aug 21, 2019 This should get the bad taste outta my mouth of that horrid Hellboy reboot that came out this year. In fact, let's just pretend that one never happened, K?
