Short description
Hellboy comes to England, where he must defeat Nimue, Merlin's consort and the Blood Queen. But their battle will bring about the end of the world, a fate he desperately tries to turn away.
What's left behind the scenes
- The original stated that Baba Yaga tried to summon the spirit of Stalin, but in the Russian dub it was replaced with the spirit of Hitler.
- At the beginning of the battle scene with Hellboy and the giants, his Right Hand of Doom briefly becomes his left in several frames.
- In the middle of 2012, Ron Perlman endured another four-hour makeup application in the process of transforming into Hellboy, this time at the request of a six-year-old boy suffering from leukemia. Spectral Motion, a special effects studio responsible for Hellboy's look in the two previous films about the comic book hero, transformed Perlman into Hellboy (and then transformed the sick boy into Hellboy as well), and the actor and the sick child spent the whole day together. Perlman’s act touched Guillermo del Toro so much that he decided to return to the long-postponed project of the film “Hellboy 3”. However, considering that del Toro had not worked on this franchise for some time, focusing on other projects, the studio management turned to Neil Marshall. It was decided to reboot the franchise, so “Hellboy 3” was canceled, and work on the reboot began shortly after.
- Preparing for the role of Hellboy, David Harbour actively worked out to get in shape.
- The film's artists deliberately tried not to use images from Guillermo del Toro's films, instead drawing inspiration from the comics. Makeup artist Joel Harlow tried to stay true to the source material and constantly consulted with comic book author Mike Mignola (who was an executive producer on the film).
- According to Neil Marshall, agreeing to make this film was a mistake, and the filming process itself was a complete nightmare. He hadn't been able to secure funding for his cinematic ideas for several years and immediately accepted the offer to work on this project, assuming it would be a standard horror film. From the beginning, he found the script somewhat convoluted, with disparate plotlines interwoven (which works well in comics, but creates plot holes and inconsistencies when adapted for the screen). Unfortunately, the producers were completely uninterested in his opinion, wouldn't allow him to make changes to the script, and wouldn't permit him to introduce any elements of the horror genre.
- An adaptation of the Hellboy stories "Wild Hunt" and "Storm and Fury", in which Nimue, or the Lady of the Lake, becomes the Blood Queen, and her battle with Hellboy triggers the Apocalypse.
- In mid-2012, Ron Perlman once again endured four hours of makeup application to transform into Hellboy, this time to grant the wish of a six-year-old boy with leukemia. Spectral Motion, the special effects studio responsible for Hellboy's look in the previous two films, transformed Perlman into Hellboy (and later turned the young boy into Hellboy as well), and the actor spent the entire day with the child. Perlman's gesture touched Guillermo del Toro so much that he decided to return to the long-delayed project of Hellboy 3. However, since del Toro had not worked on the franchise for some time while focusing on other projects, the studio management approached Neil Marshall. It was decided to reboot the franchise, leading to the cancellation of Hellboy 3 and the subsequent start of work on the reboot.
- Preparing for the role of Hellboy, David Harbour worked out intensely to get into shape.
- The film's artists deliberately avoided using imagery from Guillermo del Toro's paintings, drawing inspiration from the comics instead. Makeup artist Joel Harlow strove to stay true to the source material and consulted constantly with comic author Mike Mignola (who served as executive producer on the film).
- According to Neil Marshall, agreeing to direct this film was a mistake, and the shoot itself was a complete nightmare. Having been unable to find funding for his cinematic ideas for several years, he immediately accepted the offer to take on this project, assuming he would be filming a standard horror movie. From the start, it seemed to him that the script was somewhat convoluted and combined different plotlines (which works perfectly in comics, but leaves plot holes and inconsistencies when transferred to the screen). Unfortunately, the producers were completely uninterested in his opinion; he was not allowed to make changes to the script or introduce any elements of the horror genre.
