When R We Gonna Get Some Good Pics?!!

[Spider–Man]

You'd think we'd have seen some Hellboy shots, maybe some action stuff by now! What's up? When does filming wrap?

 

[Hellmistress]

It all depends what Universal is happy about publicising. Doug is filming until at least the middle of October, and I know Roy Dotrice doesn't join the cast until October. So there's plenty of time!

[Spider–Man]

Yeah, but they've already been filming for 2 months! Hardly a leaked photograph to be found!

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

We still have to see photos from Whiteout (poster excluded) and Wanted and they open before Hellboy 2.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Exactly, give it time people, i'm sure we'll start getting plenty soon. Just hope they move the release date!

 

[Victarion]

In a perverse way, I'm glad we have no pictures yet.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I am too, i dont want them to go the Fox route and practically spoil the whole movie before we see it through pictures and trailers. In fact i am perfectly happy we have no pictures yet, it means they are carefully choosing what to release.

 

[MoPlaYa]

Im glad there are no pics yet...I dont want to be spoiled for this movie like I was for X3...got my hopes too high for X3

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^Agreed, they practically told us the whole movie through pictures and trailers with X3, i dont want that here.

 

[Victarion]

^I made a better movie through pictures and trailers with X3.

Fixed that one for ya.

If the old Latino Review script review for The Golden Army is anything to go by, we should have a quality sequel on our hands. The review there is old, so there is a good chance much has changed, but we'll see.

Anyone here remember a character from the comics named Daoine Sidhe? This would be a perfect movie for him to have a cameo appearance in. There were also two other characters with him-a little faerie, and a hooded, horned woman. Not sure who they are, but they could be in this one too.

Well, whoever your source is, they'd better watch themselves - anyone seen snapping pics on set is open to instant dismissal. That's written in big black type on the front of every call sheet.

^ They're filming in NYC?! Or is that just some European city converted to look like NYC?? I'm way confused...

Nope. They're filming at the Korda Studios, just outside Budapest, Hungary. The NYC street scene is on a huge backlot there.

I want a pic of Johann Kraus!!!!

 

[The Geek Vault]

Same! Do we know who's playing him yet? Also I really hope they keep him in his astral form and don't do what they're doing in Killing ground and give him a macho body.

 

[Hellmistress]

There are actually 2 actors playing Johann - the main one is John Alexander, who has had a long career in Hollywood playing under suits and prosthetics. The other is another Brit, James Dodd, who is filling in when John is playing his other part in the film, which I'm not going to tell you about just yet.

Tomas Kretschmann is providing the voice, but John and James do all the hard work creating the character.

As for his look ... well, you'll recognise him straight away - it's different ... but very, very Johann. I loved it. And yes, he's in an ecto-containment suit.

'Hellboy 2'


When Ivan Poharnok founded the Budapest-based special effects company Filmefex in 1996, most of the work was for commercials. Now it's almost exclusively feature films. This year, Filmefex has already doubled up on Universal's "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" and "Nutcracker: The Untold Story," a $65 million English-Canadian-Hungarian co-production.

Filmefex specializes mostly in makeup and prosthetics work. On "Hellboy 2," the company was involved in making a special creature for a scene that takes place in a troll market, as well as building statues and several full-sized replicas of the Golden Army.

Since 2003, foreign companies filming in Hungary have been able to claim back 20% of production costs by hiring Magyar know-how. The additional attraction of comparatively cheap labor means Budapest is gradually becoming an attractive destination for producers of special-effects-laden pics.

"When American productions come to Hungary, there's a kind of distance at first," says Poharnok, who prior to setting up his company spent a year in Hollywood working for several makeup effects shops.

"We have to prove ourselves on each film. The way it happens usually is that we get a smaller stake of the work and then when they feel we can handle it, they start giving us more. This was the case on 'Hellboy 2,' which we have now been working on since March."

Filmefex, which has 10 permanent employees, collaborated with three other FX shops on "Hellboy 2": U.S. company Spectral Motion and two London-based companies, Creature Effects and Solution Studios.

Hopefully soon!

Thanks for correcting me so well .

And yeah i think the script will have changed quite a bit by now, though i hope they kept the main theme's of it.

And no i dont remember hearing about that character, was he in any of the GN's?

Yes, I just got around to reading my copy of Strange Places and this trio character I called the "Daoine Sidhe" are in there. Apparently the term "Daoine Sidhe" is just a broad classification for the fairies. I'm not sure where the Daoine part came from, but during research for a project of mine, I leanred that Sidh is what the old Celts referred to the fairies as.

Oh, and Grom the pig-monster's back and wants revenge on Hellboy. In fact, the second half of Strange Places should definitley be in HB3, assuming Del Toro is able to make it.

I've been trying to get a hold of Strange Places, i loved CW so want to see were the story goes, and hopefully, GDT will include a lot more from the comics in this movie, because let face it, the comics are gold.

The official site has a nice close up of Abe and HB, are they what you were hoping for?
