Ron Perlman Wants ‘Hellboy 3’ But Doesn’t Want It Crowdfunded

Published

on

In a recent interview with Digital Spy, Ron Perlman spoke again about his desire to see a Hellboy 3 made, preferably before he’ll “…perform it out of a wheelchair.

Perhaps the best part about the interview, which you can watch below, is that Perlman is rather adamant that he does not want Hellboy 3 to be a crowdfunded film, saying that the fans are responsible for buying a movie ticket and perhaps some concessions. The film itself should be left to the professionals, he comments.

Now, it should be noted that a film like Hellboy 3 would require a helluva lot of money to make. A Kickstarter or Indiegogo that aims to raise a couple of million wouldn’t even begin to cut it. For it to be done properly, tens of millions would need to be raised to make sure that the film could use practical FX, film in the proper locations, and have the right look and team behind it.

The story of Hellboy 3 isn’t known but it the intention apparently was always to make the films a trilogy. The first two films were directed by Guillermo del Toro, whose new film Crimson Peak comes out OCtober 16th.

In a 2012 interview with EW, Perlman stated:

The [first] two movies were really set up to have this unbelievable resolve. Everything that was done in both movies was leading up to this destiny, written in stone, of what Hellboy has been summoned to Earth to do. To not do it, particularly in light of the scope that Guillermo is thinking of for the resolve, would be in my mind a little bit of a shame.
