Sony rejects Hellboy 2

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.

Who ya Gonna Call? Dean Devilin!
