Guillermo on Upcoming Slate

Moviehole had the chance to chat to Guillermo del Toro today he discussed plans for the "Hellboy" sequel, his upcoming collaboration with Sandy Collora, and a keenness to return to the "Blade" franchise. "Hellboy : Directors Cut" I cut out things that I thought were slowing the pace of the movie, but I've put them back into what I call the 'Directors Cut', which will be released in France and possibly Japan, theatrically. It's a more sedate thing, but it adds a more interesting direction for the characters. A little more weight for the bad guys too. Which I think is very good for the movie. "Hellboy 2" I start writing it in the Fall and then it'll depend on how fast we get a script we're all happy about and how fast we can work out a budget and a date. It's in the future, but I wouldn't put a date on it. In the next Hellboy adventure he'll (Hyde-Pierce's Abe Sapien) have a more prominent role. She'll be back (Blair). Jeffrey Tambor will be back. We will have a good class of weirdos around. "Blade 3 & 4" I've seen the whole movie ("Blade: Trinity") and I enjoyed the hell out of it. The thing I love the most about it is that its different, each of the Blade movies has been different to the others. [Director, David] Goyer has a very sardonic, very brutal sense of humour and it's a different movie. I think it's going to be quite a trip for the audience. I would love to go back and do a fourth ballistic Blade - vampires all over the world - but who the hell knows. Thanks to 'Clint'.
