Hellboy, sequel to 2008’s Hellboy: The Golden Army, stars Ron Perlman and is directed by Guillermo del Toro. Scratch that. Reverse it. Hellboy was supposed to be a direct sequel to 2008’s The Golden Army, only Mr. del Toro, for some wild reason, wanted to use his own script (not one penned by this nobody Andrew Cosby), so he bounced. And because Hollywood is the land of ride-or-die homies who always have each other’s back and never sell out for money, star Perlman bounced with him when del Toro didn’t get his way.
