Ron Pearlman confirmed that he will be playing Hellboy once again.  He said they start shooting in the fall and that he is anxious to play Hellboy once again.

Uhhh?  Doesn't the first movie have to be good for them to make the crappy sequel?  

Hellboy was an ehhh movie.

it was a fun movie, espcially if you read the book. a series of 'em has potential.

Doug Jones, who played Abe Sapien in Hellboy, told SCI FI Wire that his role in the sequel will be expanded and that they'll likely use his voice this time:

"The role of Abe Sapien will be beefed up quite a bit for part two," Jones said in an interview at Comic-Con International in San Diego over the weekend. "The relationship with Hellboy is going to be more fleshed out. ... The buddy thing ... and conflicts that arise with him are going to be more explored, which I'm very excited about. Abe gets more interaction with bad guys ... [and] has another little sub-storyline that I think is going to be delicious."

I'd watch a second Hellboy.  The first one was enjoyable.  Plus I only paid 2 dollars for it when someone traded it in.

I'll check it out, but not in theaters.

Time Out caught up with Hellboy 2: The Golden Army director Guillermo del Toro, who gave a quick update on the sequel:

First up is 'Hellboy 2', which is due to go into production early next year. 'It will shoot in Hungary and the idea is to make a movie that is more fun, more loose and more spectacular than the original,' he explained. 'We all learned our lessons doing the first one and we want to put them to work on the second one. Mike Mignola and I have come up with the story and it's a little closer to the comic books than the first one was.'

The movie is expected to hit theaters in 2008.

Fangoria caught up with Guillermo del Toro who gave an update on the Hellboy sequel's schedule:

"We are preparing to shoot in May or June, but we don't start casting until January," del Toro tells Fango. The script, which tells of an imminent war between the creatures of fantasy and the human race, is currently being scrutinized from a monetary perspective.

Guillermo del Toro's follow-up to the very popular action flick has officially attacked the web with all sorts of fun stuff.

Looks like fun to me.

Did somebody say they wanted to see a slideshow of 32 new images from Hellboy 2? Sure, why not...

Looking good.

Who is the third hero in the diver/mysterio-esque costume?  

Selma Blair is really cute.

Did somebody say "screw you Mike and your bloody pics... post a link to the ****ing trailer?" ...well, that was a little harsh, but fine- here:
