The Hellboy Phenomena

I knew there tons of Hellboy fans, but who woulda thought there was enough to warrant two movies. But when you think about it, it has been a popular dark horse comic since 1997!

Luckily for Guillermo Del Toro, this provides a somewhat guaranteed audience for his Hellboy movies. The first movie did alright at the box office, but was by no means a Spiderman size success. And as such, I had almost totally forgotten about the sequel until I saw the Hellboy 2: The Golden Army trailer.

Del Toro seems to love sharing production news as he goes. There’s even video segments on the design process of HBII that were shot on set with a digital camcorder. I wonder what type of camcorder was used? You could definitely use a Sony HDR-SR12 since it’s compact size is perfect for grabbing interviews on set, all in HD quality.
