Hellboy

Go ahead.

Hellboy.

Hellboy.

Go ahead.

I'm not going to give in to your rage bait right now.

[laughing]

But the guy who actually trained us in the morning, who had the boot camp, was this guy Max Wong, who was our fight trainer, and he was, like, Hellboy's stunt double.

Like-

He was Hellboy's stunt double.

Yeah, he was in the Hellboy suit basically.

Mm-hmm.

Like, in a lot of the big fight scenes.

That was a cool little movie that came out.

The Hellboy with David Harbour has a gnarly fucking witch scene.

That's where he goes and finds Baba Yaga in the chicken leg house.

And the imagery in that is fucking terrifying.

... between Resident Evil and other Paul movies.

Oh, yeah, she was the villain in that fucking Hellboy movie.

That movie's atrocious.

I have not seen it.

So he kind of got lost into that, and he of course didn't end up making those.

And then kind of by the time that got done, yeah, Pacific Rim became like this project, and he always meant to get back to Hellboy III, and Ronald Perlman always meant to get back to it.

It just didn't happen, and by the time they were kind of ready to do it, the way that these movies make money had changed, 'cause he had said Hellboy and Hellboy II made money in the box office.

It didn't light anything on fire, but they really, really took off-

Right

...

they were ready to do it, streaming had taken over, and that revenue source didn't exist anymore, and he would need like twice the budget to make Hellboy III the way that he wanted, and no one was gonna give that to him, even though he was on the cusp of making a Best Picture and Best Directing winning movie.

Um, doesn't matter.

Another show, a Westworld episode.

He directs Hellboy in 2019.

I've never seen Hellboy.

Which one? The remake? Who's in it? Click

it.

It's 2019, so probably the remake.

I feel like Hellboy is an old movie,

right? No, there's...

The

same production company that put out the Hellboy movie from last year.

They also were the company that bought the other Looney Tunes movie that came out a year or two ago from Warner Bros., The Day the Earth Blew Up, which people really liked, but no one saw.

Critically

I'm going to fumble this.

Who's the artist for Hellboy?

Frank Miller? Mike Mignola.

Did Miller not do Hellboy? No, he did Sin City.

I don't know why I got those two mixed up, but yeah.

Is Mike Mignola also the Umbrella Academy? Because they're very similar styles.

Uh, because that's kind of the, the vibe I want to go with.

And, uh, it's just all about like studying that character design and studying the fucking, like how they work with shadows or how they play with shadows or why they do what they do.
