New Hellboy Trailer

"Does it do anything special?" "Yeah - it smashes things real good." Summit + Lionsgate have unveiled the first official trailer for the new Hellboy movie, directed by Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday, Centurion). This fresh reboot of the live-action Hellboy movie series re-casts the main role, with David Harbour playing the big red guy with horns and a stone arm. This looks like another new origin story, taking us through his usual routine working for the B.P.R.D, cleaning up nasty paranormal bad guys for the government. The primary cast includes Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, Sasha Lane, Thomas Haden Church, Penelope Mitchell, Sophie Okonedo, Brian Gleeson, and Kristina Klebe. This looks a bit more humorous than Guillermo del Toro's version, and much more violent and fully R-rated as well. I will need to warm up to it a bit more, but I'm digging this first look so far. Fire it up below.

Here's the first red band trailer (+ two new posters) for Neil Marshall's Hellboy, direct from YouTube:

Based on the graphic novels by Mike Mignola, Hellboy (David Harbour), a demon caught between the worlds of the supernatural and human, battles an ancient sorceress bent on revenge. This new Hellboy is directed by English filmmaker Neil Marshall, director of the films Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday, and Centurion previously, as well as a segment of the anthology film Tales of Halloween, and a few episodes of the latest "Westworld" and "Lost in Space" TV shows. The screenplay is written by Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden, based on the Dark Horse comic books first created by Mike Mignola in 1993. Featuring music composed by Benjamin Wallfisch. Summit + Lionsgate will release Marhsall's new Hellboy in theaters everywhere starting on April 12th, 2019 coming up this spring. First impression? Who's into this already?

Looks pretty fun. Never cared for the others, although Perlman was perfectly cast in those. Had no idea McShane was in this, so that's definitely a plus.

The Descent was amazing and David Harbour looks great in the role but I'm sending a flop.

Thought this was a parody at first

I was about to say the exact same thing!

Formidable??? It looks like crap. Bad cgi/actors, awful jokes, cringe, hard pass

Wow. Love all the talent involved, but this looks like it's going to be a disappointment. I really loved Guillermo's Hellboy and Ron Perlman was perfect as HB, but...I don't like the look of this Hellboy. The face is too angular and....almost like Tim Curry's Darkness from Legend rather than Hellboy. The Right Hand of Doom also looks COMPLETELY disproportionate (way too long). And was it implied that they're doing another "origin" story? Why do we need to rehash this again?!? As an avid Mike Mignola and Hellboy fan....consider my optimism dashed against the wall.

Just like anybody else, I miss Ron Perlman even if D. Harbour doesn't need to be a bad choice. Still, there seems to be a bit of exaggerating in many ways, almost close to the disaster called Resident Evil (yeah, M. Jovovich is not helping here). And no Guillermo too. I'll probably see it, but feel something underwhelming about it ...

Yeah, I hear ya. And who is playing HellBoy? They didn't say, must not be that important of a tidbit of information. They wrote up almost everything else but that.

Aaah, this didn't tickle my fancy like I hoped. Looks "fan made" on stereoids. Could still be good, trailer doesn't do the full job. Damn I hope that cgi isn't final.

Yea I'm not so sure.

I like the new character design. The exaggerated cheek bones are a nice touch.

It's cool to see Daniel Dae Kim again. He was good in Lost, but haven't seen him in anything since. As for the movie, I'll pass.

I dunno, I didn't feel it like Killmonger did that mask. So you know what that means; the real villan will be Cash Cow, and they will be powerless against his whims (I figured Cash Cow would be a he) 🙂

If Milla Jovovich is in your comic book / video game (or any other) movie, you didn't do it right. She's one of the very few I simply cannot watch.

Not even in the Fifth Element?

That I did enjoy, but she was mostly mute for the movie. Multipass! Love it! Since they tried to brand her as some kind of badass, it hasn't worked. She's just awful.

Unless the next trailer is drastically different in tone (and better SFX), I'll be passing in theater or only seeing it if I have a spare movie reservation for my A-list subscription for the week. Harbor doesn't look as "natural" in his suit, doesn't have the build I'd expect for Hellboy, and the CGI/SFX look half-baked.

I want to like it, but its not quite there

Love me some David Harbour and Neil Marshall. This looks great. Ron P was great but old. And The character never quite felt 'right'. I hate to throw around "real fans" but a lot of fans of perlman are upset about this, but this looks exactly like what I wanted as a HELLBOY fan.

Shoulda just named this Hellboy 3 and called it day. Other than that it looks about as wacky and zanny as I expected. Pretty much feels like the others, but I gotta admit I'm missing the Hell (see what I did there?) Outta Ronny P. And I actually like David Harbour. Let's just say I'm interested... If it gets good reviews.
