The Second Season of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy dropped last Friday, and it’s pretty good. Based upon a Dark Horse comic written by Gerald Way and Gabriel Bá, Season Two begins where last season ended, which is to say that the students of the Umbrella Academy fail at their attempt to stop the Apocalypse. Number […]
Movie directing is typically depicted as glamorous work, despite the issues Neil Marshall may have encountered during the production of the Hellboy reboot. Though Hollywood is rife with stories about what happens when relations between directors and studios (or casts) don’t quite go as planned. For instance, Stanley Donen originally only intended to produce 1999’s […]
I enjoyed both Hellboy (2004) and it’s sequel, Hellboy: The Golden Army (2008) and for awhile I couldn’t understand why both movies underwhelmed at the box office. Before now, that is. What I missed was that Hellboy was always a niche character. He was in the comics and apparently he’s the same in the movies. […]
While I’d rather see Guillermo Del Toro finish his Hellboy Trilogy–Hellboy, Hellboy: The Golden Army and….–that’s no longer in the cards. The reboot is being directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday) and stars David Harbor (Stranger Things, Suicide Squad) as Hellboy. The trailer looks okay, except for some of the CGI, which […]
For awhile I was worried about Netflix cancelling Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil (more than likely to be followed by The Punisher and Jessica Jones) but after seeing the first season of The Umbrella Academy, a new series based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name, I’m a bit more comfortable because […]
The official trailer for Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy was released yesterday and it looks really, really good (sort of like a mix of The Prisoner, a dash of Hellboy, and a whole lot of X-Men). As I said, I like how it looks, but what bothers me is that it feels like Netflix is using […]
Lionsgate, only a few few hours ago as of this writing, released the trailer for their upcoming Hellboy reboot. Which I really expected to dislike but in actuality I found it pretty intriguing. For a start, it appears to preserve the visual continuity Of Guillermo Del Toro’s two entries, which makes sense considering the visual […]
If you’re of the mind to check it out, Comicbookmovie has posted a leaked trailer for Lionsgate’s upcoming Hellboy reboot. I intend to take a look tomorrow for Trailer Into Reaction, though that doesn’t stop you (though I’d move quickly because the likelihood is high it will be pulled). As I said, I’ll revisit this […]
With the preeminence of Marvel Studios and to a lesser extent, DC Films, people can perhaps be forgiven for forgetting that Marvel and DC aren’t the only players in town. There’s Dark Horse (Time Cop) who’s rebooting Hellboy but there’s also Valiant Comics, which have been seemingly preparing to make a movie to feature films […]
This is an image of Ron Perlman as Hellboy from Guillermo Del Toro’s 2008 movie, Hellboy II: The Golden Army. If anyone could be said to be destined to play a character it’s Perlman, who’s Hellboy looked like he was pulled from the pages of Mike Mignola’s comic. Flash forward to 2017 when the third […]
