Del Toro talks Hellboy Dos!:
Director Guillermo Del Toro talked about the sequel to Hellboy! The director says that the film will feature killer robots and a new character.
Here's what he had to say:
"The idea is, in a strange way, not very different from Pan's Labyrinth. It's a clash between the real world and the fantasy world, you know? And how the world of humans is destroying, eroding, imagination.
Yeah, actually, everybody will be back, except Agent Myers, ...the only non-comic-book-based character of the first one. And we're bringing in Johann Kraus, the ectoplasmic agent from the comics."

Tim Rothman talks AVP2!:
Tim Rothman, Chairman at 20th Century Fox, talked to IESB
about upcoming Fox projects including Alien vs Predator 2! The man said the magic words, the ones I needed to hear; "It's going to be very hardcore. Very R rated."
Thank, God! Check this out:
TR: Let's put it this way, I think the approach this time is going to be very hardcore. Very R rated. I think this is a, we believe that, this pass on AVP with these filmmakers is going to be a lot closer to the hardcore experience.
IESB: I am hearing that this AVP 2 script resembles a lot of James Cameron's Aliens, that it is very hard, and it doesn't resemble the first AVP film much. Is that accurate?
TR: That is accurate. Very hardcore. Very violent.
IESB: Can you tell me what time frame this takes place in?
TR: Yeah, it's contemporary.
IESB: Is Lance Henrikson going to have any kind of appearance?
TR: I have no comment
IESB: That's fair. Someone sends me this rumor that you guys are so happy with the way things are turning out for AVP 2 that you are already looking at a stand alone Predator film, any truth to that?
TR: Yes and no, no truth to that in current active prep, but yes it's true that it's something that we think and talk about.
Great job, guys! Hit the above link for the rest of the interview!
