THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This film is based on the graphic novels of the same name by Mike Mignola, most of this story is based off of the book The Seeds Of Destruction, however several other bits from other books were incorporated as well.
• Doug Jones is credited as playing Abe Sapien, but don't worry you are not going crazy, the body may have been Doug Jones, but the voice was David Hyde Pierce of Frasier fame. Pierce refused to be credited for his work though insisting that Doug Jones created the character and he should be the only one to be recognized for it.
• Guillermo Del Toro had trying to get a Hellboy movie made for years but could never get a studio to greenlight the project, especially with Ron Perlman in the lead. After Del Toro had success with Blade II he was told that he could have the choice of directing Blade Trinity or Hellboy he choice Hellboy. He still had to work hard for the next few months before the studio would agree to allow him to cast Ron Perlman in the role. There first choice was Vin Diesel.
• In preparation for his role Ron Perlman read all of the Hellboy comics and worked out as much as 7 days a week to help bulk up his body to match that of Hellboy's.
• The make-up process was grueling for Ron Perlman and Doug Jones. It took Perlman 4 hours to get into full makeup before any shooting could begin. For Doug Jones the process took an average of 6 hours and another 4 hours to remove it all. As a result Doug Jones would often sleep in half costume to lessen the amount of time it would take to be ready to shoot the next day.
