On July 11, Guillermo del Toro brings Hellboy back to a theater near you, with Hellboy II: The Golden Army -- and he's just unveiled a new trailer to get you excited about it.
The sequel to 2004's Hellboy reunites stars Ron Perlman, Doug Jones, Selma Blair, and Jeffrey Tambor, pitting their team of supernatural good guys against an army of very not-so-good guys (with the fate of the world in the balance, natch). Here, check out the synopsis:
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it's time to call in Hellboy.

The first one sucked....
Sez you.
Buy our tickets ahead of time. Make sure there isn’t a wad of gum under my seat in the theatre.
I missed Hellboy I. Would I be lost in the sequel, or is there even a plot?
or is there even a plot?
Depends on the type of plot...
Oh yeah, the next time you’re at the 7-11 get Lily some gum. I get to watchin’ her peel gum off the bottom of her theater seat and miss most of the movie.:-)
I wouldn’t touch ABC gum.
The backstory (which I’m sure they’d repeat in the new movie) is that, during the Second World War, Nazi occultists attempted to open a portal in Hell. The Nazis were thwarted in time, but not before a demon baby came through the portal.
He was adopted and raised by an American occultist/scientist and named Hellboy. Hellboy now works as part of a Double Top Secret government agency—defending the world against demonic intrusions.
That’s about all there is to it. Oh, and he trims his horns because he’s trying to fit in.
Lily and I are fans but, if the trailer doesn’t strike you as entertaining—you may want to see something else when Cineplex fever strikes.
Trident Splash? Is that what you passed me the last time we were making out?
I was sitting on the left, you were making out w/the person on the right....it was
BIGHEADFRED
OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listerine!!! Hock, spit, gak!!!!
Hold up. I think Bigheadfred got up during the movie because his flomax kicked in and Girlene scooted over next to you. Ruh Roh
I deny the whole thing! I’ve never even seen a movie! I’m Amish!
That wasn't the impression I got.
I don't think Girl's much of a moviegoer. The Dance of the Seven Veils is more her speed. And Red, don't let Lily fool ya. She really likes popcorn...
I like hominy.
You mean like in a barbershop quartet?
No you ramalamadingdong. Like smushy corn/no grits.
