Hellboy 360 Mod Is Better Than Hellboy Movies

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:30:00 +0000

I’m a longtime fan of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy comics. And a long-time hater of Del Toro’s cinematic “adaptations”. But as bad as those movies are, they could be worse; they could be as bad as the Hellboy games.

Which is why I tread cautiously around anything connecting Big Red to this medium. Silly me! Because while Hellboy’s games have thus far been universally awful, this custom Hellboy 360 console is just wonderful.

Textured to look like the Right Hand of Doom, it’s not what you call “pretty”. But then, neither is Hellboy.

Del Toro Loves BioShock, Mehs Movie

Brian Ashcraft — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 09:00:52 +0000

Since earlier this year, there have been rumours of an inevitable no-brainer BioShock movie. If true, that adaptation would need a proven director who’s able to handle dark, atmospheric movies. That adaptation would need Hellboy director Guillermo de Toro. The helmer writes on his official message board:

I love BIOSHOCK from a design point of view but Unless its a HELLBOY sequel I am not that eager to engage in another action-oriented movie. Even if the other elements are right. BUt- if I found the right pitch on the material, who knows- the BIOSHOCK universe is indeed wonderful.

Man, Guillermo del Toro is one of the few directors I can see making an unsucky BioShock flick. So, hear that? If he finds the right pitch, he’s on board. If not, he’ll still this still-rumoured-movie out, and we’ll get some crappy director instead. This isn’t the first time his name has come up with a game adaptation. Del Toro almost says he almost directed the still-in-development-hell Halo movie, but ended up doing Hellboy 2 instead. About the unrealised Halo flick, he adds, “There’s great movie to be made, read the novels…”
