Hey folks, Harry here... Well, it seems that Revolution and Sony want to sell HELLBOY very much along the same lines as X-MEN and MEN IN BLACK... and certainly that worked exceptionally well for those films. Personally, I felt the trailer is trying to sell the entire concept of the film... All the characters and all the types that you'll see in the film... Try to hook the audience with something that they can latch on to. PERSONALLY -- What I would like to see from Revolution and Sony on HELLBOY is a more diversified ad campaign. One that sells the scares, one that sells the adventure/action, one that highlights the romance and another that hits on the sense of family that the film has. Oh... and one that focuses on EVIL. A primary character that you don't really get to see much of in this trailer is Ilsa, and she really is wonderful in all her yummy Nazi evilness. ALSO - many of these effects shots are not complete yet, I believe. For instance... when Rasputin has the big glove on and the bolts of lightning are going every which way... there's also supposed to be "KIRBY Energy" radiating about the glove... which isn't there yet. Or at least that's what Guillermo once told me.
From what I hear... the SUPER BOWL trailer that they're making is supposed to just be amazing. Till then, watch this over and over again... Although... coming soon we should be getting SPIDER-MAN 2 and SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW trailers... both of those ought to make you giddy as well. Here ya go...,
Mmmm, QuickTime.....
