Del Toro Goes To Hellboy

Director Guillermo del Toro told SCI FI Wire that his upcoming supernatural movie Hellboy will differ from his latest film, Blade II, though they are both based on comics. "It's going to be a great comic-book movie, but it's going to be much more personal and very character-oriented, although it will have a big portion of action," del Toro said in an interview at the Blade II premiere. Where Blade II has fast and furious martial-arts battles, del Toro promises a unique tone to Hellboy 's action scenes. "Very different, because Hellboy is not an agile, fast guy," del Toro said. "He must weigh 650 pounds of muscle and rock because of the hand. So it's basically a completely different direction."

As for casting, del Toro said, "All I know is Hellboy is Ron Perlman." Hellboy is currently in development.
