Creatively, I would love to make it. Creatively. But it is proven almost impossible to finance. Not from MY side, but from the studio side. If I was a multimillionaire, I would finance it myself, but I spend all my money on rubber monsters.

The idea for it was to have Hellboy finally come to terms with the fact that his destiny, his inevitable destiny, is to become the beast of the Apocalypse, and having him and Liz face the sort of, that part of his nature, and he has to do it, in order to be able to ironically vanquish the foe that he has to face in the 3rd film. He has to become the best of the Apocalypse to be able to defend humanity, but at the same time he becomes a much darker being. It's a very interesting ending to the series, but I don't think it will happen.

Theseries is one of those franchises that's never really attracted mainstream attention. The film did just well enough to get a sequel, and that sequel did just well enough to make people hope for more. Much like Pacific Rim , audiences want a sequel and Guillermo del Toro would be happy to oblige. There's just one 2000 lb kaiju in the room preventing any forward movement: the studios won't pony up the dough to make aDuring his Reddit AMA this afternoon, del Toro was asked the inevitablequestion. Namely "why in the hell do wehave ato look forward to?" His answer was as obvious as the question itself, as he said:Both Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman have made themselves rather outspoken on the subject of their mutual desire to make ato cap off the series. Anytime the subject comes up, both of them light up with the possibilities of finishing what they started back in 2004 with Hellboy . In fact, del Toro credits the fact thatwas even made to the huge showing the film had in its home video incarnation, something it too would replicate in its eventual DVD release. Unfortunately, the market has evolved into one where that just doesn't cut it anymore, or at least Mr. del Toro believes so.So what wasgoing to be about? Guillermo del Toro was nice enough to share the plan he's probably had stored in his mind ever sincewrapped:So we have Guillermo del Toro really wanting to make, we have Ron Perlman ready to don themakeup at a moments notice, and we've got a fandom ready to receive the film as their very own. And yet, no studio will cough up the cash to make this obviously wanted sequel. Which begs the question, if the studio doesn't do it, who will?For now, it looks like no one will be makinga reality. It's a sad fact, but looking at the box office strength of the last two films, it's not exactly a sure thing, even if the goal was to break even. But hey, at least we've got asequel coming soon. That's got to be worth something, right?Guillermo del Toro will be in our faces with The Strain this Sunday on FX, as well as withnext October. But honestly, that's not enough! We want. Luckily, we have some ideas for how that could happen. Click over to the next page to get them.
