The first trailer for Neil Marshall’s Hellboy hit the net back in December, giving us our first taste of “Stranger Things” star David Harbour as the new Big Red. Contrary to the dark and gory promises, the trailer reflected a tone similar to Guillermo del Toro’s movies, but tonight’s brand spankin’ new Red Band trailer has a bit more of, well, the red stuff.
The new trailer also gives us more of Milla Jovovich‘s villainous Nimue, along with a big ole handful of monsters. Overall it’s a much better trailer, and this movie looks like a blast.
Hellboy has been “Rated R for strong bloody violence and gore throughout, and language.”
Also starring: Milla Jovovich as Nimue, the film’s villain; Ian McShane as Professor Broom; Daniel Dae Kim as Major Ben Daimio; Penelope Mitchell as Ganeida; and Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan with Sophie Okonedo (After Earth), Brian Gleeson (mother!) and Alistair Petrie (The Night Manager, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
The new story sees the hero squaring off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.
Aron Coleite worked on the latest draft of a script by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin and Mike Richardson are the producers. Hellboy is being exec produced by Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Hampe.
Hellboy returns on April 12, 2019.
