Cat-loving (I swear, he digs his moggies!) Ron Perlman tells Moviehole that “Hellboy II” needs to make some money before director Guillermo del Toro can fulfill his dream and complete the trilogy.
“I think it’s a possibility”, Perlman told us in an interview. “I think it’s completely a function as to how Hellboy 2 does in the marketplace. And if it does quite well, then I’m pretty sure there’ll be a third one.”
Perlman says it’ll be up to his director as to where his character goes in the next film.
“Well, I don’t have an agenda. I’m completely in the hands of Guillermo; because where he takes it is going to be fine with me. He has given me a rough idea about the direction the third one will take, and I can tell you that in true trilogy fashion, it’s the closing of all of the things that have been foreboded in the first two films. It’s the Jesus moment, and it gets very, very heavy and very dark, and very cinematic.”
Perlman also offered up updates on some of his upcoming films :
Outlander : “I don’t know what’s going on with Outlander. Outlander was supposed to come out last March, and I don’t know why it didn’t. I can’t get any kind of answer as to what the status of it is”.
The Mutant Chronicles : “Mutant Chronicles is a picture that is finished, but yet not finished. Because I guess there are enough problems with it. We’re actually going to take it to Comic-Con and have a fan screening to sort of find out what is right and wrong with it. There’s a huge amount of great work in it, particularly on the part of Simon Hunter, the director. And Thomas Jane and John Malkovich and I are incredibly proud of the picture, and we’re going to do everything we can to help get it out to the marketplace.”
Sons of Anarchy : “It’s about a motorcycle club not unlike the Hell’s Angels, in a town called Charming, California. I’m the president of the club. And the guy who was the head writer on The Shield writes it. We have an order for 13 episodes on the air, so we’re going to get a chance to spread our wings a little bit and truly begin to explore this twisted, sick world. It’s The Shield on steroids. These guys are completely ruthless. Let’s put it this way: the character I’m playing in Sons of Anarchy has the least feminine side of any character I’ve ever played. In fact, he has no feminine side. Hellboy has a huge feminine side compared to Clay Morrow, the character that I play. He is the quintessential alpha male in terms of anything that I’ve ever attempted to do.”
Look out for the full interview in the coming days!
