A new Hellboy reboot trailer is here, and it gives us a better look at David Harbour‘s new take on the big red demon. But does it do a better job of selling the movie than the last trailer, which left some people underwhelmed? You’ll have to decide for yourself. Watch the Hellboy trailer below.

There is also a red band trailer that embraces the film’s R-rating.

If you’re still on the fence about Hellboy, is this the trailer that finally convinces you to see it, or do you remain uncertain? The movie certainly has a lot of talented people involved: Neil Marshall, director of The Descent, is at the helm, and Stranger Things actor David Harbour is Hellboy. Harbour is surrounded by a cast that includes Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, Sasha Lane, Daniel Dae Kim, and Thomas Haden Church. So far, so good! But there’s just something off about this reboot. The make-up on Harbour looks too heavy, to the point where it sounds as if he’s having trouble talking. That problem never arose in Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy movies.

But perhaps it’s unfair to continuously compare the new Hellboy to del Toro’s films. This is clearly something different. For one thing, unlike the del Toro movies, this Hellboy has an R-rating, due to “strong bloody violence and gore throughout, and language.” For another, there’s a lot more action here. That’s not to say del Toro’s films were action-free, but the action scenes have been ramped up tenfold for this film.

However the new Hellboy turns out, Harbour has done his best to take the role seriously. He actually called the part “very Shakespearean” in the past, and added: “There’s that question of, why am I fighting this battle? Just because of some sense of justice, or some sense of good? It’s a really interesting question that sort of is at the core of him, that he struggles with…He has a heart that’s really good and with a lot of this crusted-over stuff…he’s in a sense fighting for human beings against his fellow monsters, and yet the humans hate him because they fear him and they think he’s weird looking and everything.” That’s quite a thoughtful approach to playing this character, and I appreciate that Harbour went all-in.

Hellboy opens April 12, 2019.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
