lobster johnson

[The Question]

if there is a sequel, who wants to see some mention of lobster johnson in it?:hellboy:

[Flexo]

It'd be cool, but Lobster was scratched from the Hellboy 2 roster when Del Toro decided not to adapt Wake the Devil.

[monkeygust]

He could still make it in as a cameo or a reference.

[Gimpy]

Yeah, they are going to put him in a jar like they did Roger. :hellboy:

[Flexo]

Roger was in the background, but not in a jar. That was just Del Toro's trademark fetus-in-a-bottle.

[monkeygust]

Guillermo and Mike have mentioned that they had a discussion with Ron about doing a DVD extra where Ron as Hellboy did a Dinner for Five type of show with just him and Lobster Johnson.

GDT's take was hilarious. It was mostly wishful thinking though and was probably immediately dismissed.

It would be sweet to do something like that though, as sort of a side thing while Ron is waiting to shoot his next scene, or on a day off or something. Could be great.

Anyway, GDT has talked about doing a cameo of LJ in the sequel, but he wants to do something memorable...something that doesn't come across as cheesy or too tacked on.

[블라스]

Guy deserves his own movie.

At least an action packed flashback :up:

I want Kevin Spacey as Lobster Johnson... Don't ask me why.

[Flexo]

He'd be great, but I still think Bruce Campbell would make the greatest LJ ever.

[The Question]

Bruce Cambell as the greatest Captain America spoof ever? sweet.

[monkeygust]

GDT pretty much promised that Bruce Campbell will be LJ.
That's if he can get the studio to buy off on the idea and Bruce is available.

[Ash Loomis]

Oh, Bruce as Johnson? That would rock. He's perfect for the role!

I'd like to see Lobster in a sequel, as well as Roger.

[Og1_Kenogi]

bruce campbell would be perfect. in fact, i can't imagine anyone else playing him. he'd be perfect. if gdt casts anyone else, i will personally be offended.

[Gimpy]

Roger was in the background, but not in a jar. That was just Del Toro's trademark fetus-in-a-bottle.

He was in a tube, which looks like a giant jar.

[Sluggo]

If you want a serious LJ, Kevin Spacey

If you want a comic releaf LJ, Bruce Cambell

[Sluggo]

Roger was in the background

I missed that, what scene?

[monkeygust]

Bruce can play serious. Watch more of his stuff. He has the perfect look for the era that LJ inhabits and has the mannerisms of the character.

unfortuantely hes getting old, but Perlman's performance gives hope of an old man in makeup

Have you read Conqueror Worm? LJ is not young.

[Gimpy]

Have you read Conqueror Worm? LJ is not young.

LJ died when the allies invaded the Castle, he is actually a ghost in conqueroring worm, cause Roger finds his skeleton after LJ helps bring him back to life.

There you go. Now think about what you just said and what that means for any potential casting.

[The BatDude]

give bruce the part and make the story a whole big spoof on the 40's but serious and dark

[Ash Loomis]

Bruce is perfect for the role. I hope LJ does make it into the sequel and that Bruce plays him. It would be great to finally see Campbell play a big role in a big movie again.

[Cyclops]

If you want a serious LJ, Kevin Spacey

If you want a comic releaf LJ, Bruce Cambell

I'm absolutely certain that Campbell could play it straight, perhaps even creepy, who knows?

[SuperFerret]

Excuse me for being illiterate, but what's LJ's story?

[Flexo]

Excuse me for being illiterate, but what's LJ's story?

Johnson was a paranormal detective/mobster killer/secret government agent that marked his victims by burning a claw onto their forehead.

Lobster Johnson went to a German castle to stop a Nazi satellite project. The mission ended in his death, along with everyone else, excluding Herman Von Klempt (Which is how he lost his body.)

LJ's ghost stayed at the destroyed castle, and helped HB and Roger during the story Conquer Worm. His skeleton was discovered after he was struck by lightning while saving Roger.

[Spider - Man]

He was in a tube, which looks like a giant jar.

What scene was this?

[Hellmistress]

What scene was this?

As Broom and Myers walk down the Freak Corridor, you will see Roger in a glass case in the background of the shot.

Incidentally, GdT's trademark 'fetus in a jar' was one of the pickled punks from THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, and the prop only got onto the set 45 minutes before the scene was shot.

[Spider - Man]

Cool. I want Roger AND LJ in the sequel. Plus, who's the guy (villain) who's just a head in a jar? He'd be cool too.

[cryptic name]

i read that johann would be in the sequel because they couldn't find a good way to introduce roger.

[Flexo]

i read that johann would be in the sequel because they couldn't find a good way to introduce roger.

The problem is that Roger is too similar to Hellboy, so he was cut.

[cryptic name]

that sucks. i love roger, but johann would be a pretty cool character to see on screen.

what scene is Roger in the background?

LJ would be freakin sweet in a movie. and Roger.

Sorry for asking a repeat question. I must of skipped over it the first time on accident. Thanks anyway.

[cerealkiller182]

Would Lobster work better in his own movie rather a Hellboy sequel? I just started looking at the Iron Prometheus and had recently watched Rocketeer and wanted to see amovie like this

[tyler-durden]

Del Toro said he wants Johnson in the third one played by Bruce Campbell, don't know if it's going to happen or even if there is going to be a third one, but two looks really good.
