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)

The Broadway stage production of Paranormal Activity can’t wait to scare audiences and is acting accordingly; Deadline reports that the opening date has been bumped up several weeks.
Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Stage is coming to Broadway for a limited 20-week engagement. The first preview performance scheduled for Friday, August 14, at the August Wilson Theatre, remains in place. Now the play will officially open on Tuesday, August 25, moving up from its initial September 15 launch date.
The official synopsis: “James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape their past, but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are.”
Directed by Felix Barrett and written by playwright Levi Holloway, the stage show weaves “an original story inspired by the film franchise, Paranormal Activity reimagines the modern ghost story with an intimacy that only live theatre can provide.”
The Broadway production will follow a strictly limited pre-Broadway engagement in Boston at the Emerson Colonial Theatre from July 11 through July 30.
Both the Broadway and Boston casts will feature Cher Álvarez, Travis A. Knight, Shannon Cochran, and Andrea Syglowski. Understudies will be Caron Buinis, Caroline Hendricks, and Michael Holding.
Álvarez will play Lou, and Knight plays James.
Paranormal Activity: A New Story Live on Stage premiered at the Leeds Playhouse in the UK before transferring to the Ambassadors Theatre in the West End, where it received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination this year for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.
Original Paranormal Activity stars Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat attended the Paranormal Activity play last year, and they both shared their thoughts over on Instagram.
Katie Featherston raved, “What a truly fun night seeing the new Paranormal Activity at the Ahmanson Theatre! We had a blast- so scary and so fun. The design and production was amazing and the cast did a fantastic job. Congrats to all involved!”
There’s also a brand new movie on the way.
