Has to find a new home now
Bad news for “Hellboy 2”.
Seems it is studio-less, with Sony deciding to adopt out the horny hero’s second big-screen haunt.
According to Variety, Sony were going to oversee the sequel, but have now decided against it. (I’m guessing, based on what I know, that it is one of the many properties that Sony has decided to disattach themselves too. Quite a few have gone that way of late, mostly, because they’ve got their big fish – “Spider-Man”, 007 and so on – and they’d rather spend their moolah on those, less riskier, franchises).
It’ll probably still happen – just somewhere else. Maybe New Line should take a look at it?
Meantime, Guillermo del Toro is working on a film version – and remake, since it’s already been done, in the 80s – of Roald Dahl’s “The Witches”, for Warner Bros.
