Guillermo del Toro Getting Serious About ‘Hellboy 3’; Needs Your Help

Published

on

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.

Don Mancini in the “Early Stages” of Working On a New “Chucky” Movie!

Chucky death

Everyone’s favorite killer doll is headed back to the small screen with “Chucky” Season 3: Part 2 on April 10, but are any further movies being planned at this time?

Created by Don Mancini, the “Chucky” television series remarkably plays around with existing elements from all previous films without disregarding ANYTHING from the past. From the original Child’s Play to sequels including Child’s Play 2, Bride of Chucky and even Seed of Chucky, it’s all one cohesive timeline that Mancini remains deeply committed to.

Of course, the most recent film in the Child’s Play franchise was the 2019 remake, to date the only movie in the saga that’s NOT part of Mancini’s vision. Is Mancini’s original incarnation going to spend his final days on TV, while another Chucky will be featured in the movies? It’s a question we’ve been asking ourselves for the last few years, and we may now have an answer.

Speaking with the Scream Dreams Podcast this week, Mancini revealed that he’s in the early stages of development on a potential new installment in the original Chucky film franchise!

“Like anyone in this business, I want to do more things. At this point though if it’s only Chucky I’m totally cool with that,” Mancini explains. “I have other things I want to do. I’m working on a new pilot. I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie.”

Mancini adds, “At this point, my goal is just to keep working.”

Outside of the aforementioned Child’s Play remake, there are to date seven installments in the franchise, with Cult of Chucky (2017) being the original franchise’s most recent film.

For now, Chucky remains a small screen icon. Don’t miss the premiere of Season 3: Part 2 on both USA and SYFY on April 10, with new episodes hitting Peacock the day after they air.
