Hellboy is a world-saving butt-kicking hyphen-attracting half-demon brought to Earth by occult Nazis as a child to herald the apocalypse. The documentary is co-directed and produced by Jim Demonakos and Kevin Hanna and will look at the career of Mike Mignola as well as the creative influences that led to the emergence and continued development of the Hellboy character and his world.Ī devilishly fancy cast of interviews are already announced with the likes of Gaiman, actor Doug Jones, Dark Horse owner/founder Mike Richardson, and Executive Grand Poobah (formally pronounced ‘executive vice president and creative director’) of Marvel Entertainment Joe Quesada will accompany those of the myriad artists and writers which have helped Mignola expand on the world of Hellboy. Stately Beat Manor interviewed the filmmakers on the project just after it launched yesterday. Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters is currently in production with a planned release of Spring 2022. I’m in there some way you can hear little turns of phrase.

Guillermo Del Toro at some point in there handed me the script for Hellboy 2 and said, can you make the fairy tale that it opens up with sound more like a fairy tale? I’ve written a fairy tale, but can you just can you do the language? And so I got to do a rewrite on that opening fairy story in Hellboy 2 and it gives me an enormous amount of pleasure to know that I sort of cracked in. None of which I thought at the time was incredibly useful and all of which when I became a showrunner a decade later, became incredibly useful. My only little Hellboy thing, uncredited, is that back in 2007, I was in Budapest where they were filming Hellboy 2 and I got to hang out on set and just watch the filming and learn.
