Badass Nick Fury drops a short note on Del Toro project.

Long-time super spy Nick Fury files the following notes to help clarify some of the Hellboy report from San Diego Con.

Yo Harry, Shield Directorate Chief ass-kicker Nick Fury here to give you a 'lil piece of info regarding the HELLBOY update that ran today on your page:

In a related note, Mike said it looked like del Toro would probably get to this project after, lemme see if I can remember Mike's words, a weird, "Quick and the Dead" style western with Coppola, featuring some guy with a mechanical hand (a la Army of Darkness?)

Your spy is referring to del Toro's project MONTE CRISTO, a re-making of the old Count of Monte Christo story, but set in the 1800s Mexico and played like a Leone western. Del Toro fans will be mighty pleased with the script, which is big pulpy fun.

That's all for now...

We here at Geek Headquarters have read the Cristo script, and in Father Geeks opinion it has the makings to be the best Western since Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West", possibily even better. However, word we've received is that it is un-sure which of del Toro's projects will be filmed first at this time.
