Hellboy was a fantastic little comic flick. I loved the characters in it… not the least of which was the character of Abe Sapien. Well… the man in the suit, Doug Jones, was at Comic-Con and did some Hellboy 2 chatting. The good folks over at Cinescape give us this:
“The role of Abe Sapien will be beefed up quite a bit for part two,” Jones said. “The relationship with Hellboy is going to be more fleshed out. … The buddy thing … and conflicts that arise with him are going to be more explored, which I’m very excited about. Abe gets more interaction with bad guys … [and] has another little sub-storyline that I think is going to be delicious. I don’t want to give anything way, but it’s going to be a very, very exciting movie to make.”
I think this is great news, and something that has been whispered about before. More Abe I thinks makes for a more rounded out story with Hellboy still obviously being the lead character.
Now, the snag is that Del Toro still needs to find a studio to finance this thing. He should give me a call… I’ll front him the cash. It only take s $400 bucks to make a movie right?
