From http://deltorofilms.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=962

John Hurt is back for a cameo.
Myers is not back (see Rupie in KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN in the London stage!!).
Universal has NOT authorized a brief Kroenen cameo/ epilogue- yet.
Johann will be played by John Alexander (body) and Tomas Kretschmann (voice).
Dougie will play 4 characters.
Brian Steele will play 4 characters.
Anna Walton is the actress playing Princess Nuala.
Luke Goss plays Prince Nuada. Silverlance.
Roy Dotrice plays King Balor.

The names of the characters come from the Tuatha Dé Danann but their function and characteristics in the film (the characters being of Elvish lineage) is completely different.

We start shooting this Friday... wish us luck!!

More news:

Thomas is Johann's voice but we won't get to SEE him until -if there is ever- the next installment as some of his past come stumbling down on him (along with some German Fellas from the past).

For now the voice is what Thomas is doing...

Luke plays the Prince- whose complete name is Prince Nuada, he of the Silverlance. One character.

Doug plays:

Abe
Angel of death
The Chamberlain
maybe- Wizard (unscripted).

Brian

Troll
Mr Wink
Map Shop Owner
Fragglewump

and

We JUST finished the first day of shooting.

A few things-

1) Danny Elfman IS going to score HELLBOY II and I feel privileged. I have worked with Marco Beltrami many times and will work with him soon enough but I believe we will have a beautiful score with Elfman, whom I admire greatly (in fact the "Title sewquence" music cue had the "Ta-de-dum-ta-de-dum" rythm by explicit request by me in an atempt to make it kind of Elfmanesque) and with whom I share a dark view of the world.

As for C Drake- I fought tooth and nail for him to do the animated series and won. I hope I can work with him soon in his first full feature score but this one it is not.

2) In the first HELLBOY film we had about 8 creatures (total, between CGI and animatronics/prosthetics) but in this one we have around 30 or more and the emphasis is still heavily on a 50% 50 % balance with CGI as enhancemnet or as a choice but not THE choice.

David's Dad (form DDT FX) has undergone a delicate surgical procedure, please send positive thoughts his way. David and Montse are a beautiful couple and deserving of all the joy and happiness.

I'll check in again soon enough- I hope...
