Hey guys, found a cool story about casting updates for the next Hellboy film. We get the scoop from deltorofilms via movies online:
GDT stopped by our message boards to reveal the casting choices for Hellboy 2. Here is what he had to say:
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 BalorHe went on to add that “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.”
Guillermo is a master of creating amazing and mythical sets. I was blown away by the look of the first Hellboy film, and after Pan’s Labyrinth I knew that this man was a modern day crafter of fairy tales. I am becoming a big time fan of Del Toro and am starting to anxiously anticipate his upcoming works like few other Directors.
This is a man that is able to recreate what he sees in his mind’s eye onto film with great success. A while ago people were discussing who they would like to see direct the Hobbit other than Peter Jackson. If Jackson was not available I think I would like to see Guillermo in the chair. I want to see Guillermo continue to explore the fantasy genre, I think with an imagination like his, it allows for so many interesting stories, curious creatures and legendary landscapes.
