Guillermo del Toro Getting Serious About ‘Hellboy 3’; Needs Your Help
It’s been nearly a decade since Hellboy’s last outing.
Over the years, both Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman have made no secret of the fact that they’re hungry to make Hellboy 3 and turn the franchise into a satisfying trilogy. Last we updated you on the status of the potential project, back in October of last year, Perlman seemed to have finally given up on his hopes, but today it seems that maybe all hope isn’t yet lost.
On Twitter earlier today, Guillermo del Toro posted an “informal poll” asking his followers if they’d like to see Hellboy 3. Humorously, the two options in the poll are “YES” and “HELL YES,” and at the time of writing this post, nearly 8,000 votes have been cast (“hell yes” is in the lead, by the way). But is he just teasing fans? Well, not exactly.
In a follow-up tweet, del Toro stated the purpose of the poll:
The HELLBOY III is our chance to vote the right way in 2017! If 100k votes come in 24 hours I promise to have a sit down with Perl[man] & [Mike] Mignola.
Yes, you read right. If we show that we REALLY want it, del Toro will get serious about Hellboy 3.
VOTE BELOW!!
Informal poll (let’s see how many votes we get in 24 hours)

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
