THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• The first film was distributed by Sony Pictures, however before filming began Sony decided not to fund Revolution Studios, the studio that made the first Hellboy, any longer and decided to sell the rights to the franchise as they felt the first film didn't make enough money to warrant sequels. Universal bought the rights immediately and green-lit the sequel.
• The man inside the suit of Abe Sapien for both Hellboy films was Doug Jones, however in the first film the studio wanted a bigger name for the voice so they recruited David Hyde Pierce to play the voice. Pierce felt that the role was really created thanks to the work of Doug Jones, so he did his best vocal impression of Doug Jones and refused to take credit for the role or promote the movie in anyway so as to keep the spotlight on Jones. As a result when it was time to do the sequel they didn't ask Pierce to voice him again, opting instead to let Doug Jones use his own voice.
• After the success of Pan's Labyrinth Guillermo Del Toro was offered the opportunity to direct Halo, Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince, I Am Legend, and One Missed Call, however he turned all of them down in order to direct the Hellboy sequel.
• The voice of Johann was done by Seth MacFarlane, the creator and main voice actor of the TV series The Family Guy. This marks his big screen debut. MacFarlane said he based the voice of Johann on Jeremy Iron's voice in Die Hard: With A Vengeance.
• Outside the auction house Hellboy gets interviewed by a female reporter, the actress playing the reporter is the real-life daughter of Ron Perlman, Blake Perlman.
• Director Guillemro Del Toro has said that he would love to make a third Hellboy film and turn it into a franchise, however he has several projects lined up that he wants to complete first, he indicated in interviews it could be as long as 10 years away if it does indeed happen.
