Head on over to Apple.com for the new Hellboy 2 trailer.
This new trailer shows off that fancy Pan’s Labyrinth money. Many new monsters (hopefully not all of them) are shown that haven’t been previously revealed, like the monster bazaar, an unusual old lady and the former king of the monsters. Every time I see this trailer, I get chills, and I know that many people are looking forward to this film - people unfamiliar with the comics and even the first film.
People looking to prepare themselves for this new film need not worry - the film’s premise is a new, unique story never seen before. But, seeing the first film couldn’t hurt, and Dark Horse has reissued the older Hellboy volumes as well as the spin-off B.P.R.D. series. New Hellboy books focusing on Hellboy, B.P.R.D., Abe Sapien, Professor Bruttenholm, and the pulp spy hero Lobster Johnson are also available in trade paperback forms, or will be soon, just in time for the movie, or as Dark Horse editor Scott Allie called it, the “big-budget commercial.”
