What GDT Had To Say "This is my version of the Hellboy methos. Retold, organized and wove in a different way than in the comics. But every one of my decisions have been a creative one. NOT a commercial one. As Mike says it: 'We caught the heart of the damn thing, let the details be different'.
If you obsess about the tiny differences, let me tell you that along the way, in the five years that this baby has been in my hands, it has been suggested that:
Hellboy was a teenager that whispers a magic word and TURNS into the red Giant.
We should make Hellboy flesh-toned.
The Rock should play him.
He should have a hellboy-cycle and a hellboy-mobile.
He should have a pet helldog.
We should call him Heckboy.
If I manage to do "Hellboy" the way I want, the way they NEED to be, I will die a happy man. I love this sucker so intensely it hurts."
