Here's what IMDB says about "Hellboy: Swords of Storms" -

A professor of folklore opens a forbidden scroll and becomes possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning, who seek to return and dominate our world. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense sends Hellboy and a team of agents to investigate, but when Hellboy picks up a samurai sword, he literally disappears into a weird wonderland of Japanese legends, ghosts and monsters. Meanwhile, BPRD agents Kate Corrigan and Russell Thorne are on the trail of the possessed professor to bring Hellboy back.

I am really looking forward to this. Is there any word on a UK release date?

 

[Sandman138]

Sweet as hell.

 

[CConn]

It looks great.

I actually think I might prefer an animated Hellboy to live action.

You're dead to me.

 

[CConn]

What? I think one of the best things about Hellboy is Mignola's art, which is, obviously, more translatable to animation than live action.

Did you look at the art?

No offense to Mr. Cheeks, but his stuff is no Mignola.

 

[CConn]

No, it isn't. Still, I think I might prefer it to the movie's art direction and use of colors.

I'm still holding my breath for a Bruce Campbell/Lobster Johnson cameo.

If that's done, there's no possible way the cartoon could beat the movie.

Not even if Jesus and Mignola teamed up.

 

[CConn]

That really depends. I mean, if Jesus and Mignola are just producers, of course not. If Mignola's on art, and Jesus is scoring the film, it's a completely different tale.

With that said, you know I've never been a "big" fan of the movie. Again, not that it's bad, but it could be topped for me. Personally.

I will track you down and stab your insolent eyes out.

You're just lucky I'm not the angry type.

I concur.

There was talk back in the day that if the movies did well that there might be a series, but recently the director has said that he would like to focus on pumping out more stand alone animated movies if the first two do well enough.

 

[ampersand]

When does it premier?

Or did it already?

A day late, a dollar short...

It'll probably be rerun right?
