Also, there's a featurette that gives us a closer look at the monsters that came out of the demented brain of del Toro. The 3-disc DVD and Blu-ray DVD will be available on November 11th. More »

Seth MacFarlane, creator and voice of The Family Guy, was the only possible actor to provide the voice of Johann Kraus, the disembodied psychic entity who lives in a containment suit, director Guillermo del Toro told New York Comic-Con. "It was very difficult to find Johann a voice, to duplicate the wheezing and mechanical sound." Del Toro showed an extended trailer for the movie, while writer/artist Mike Mignola revealed more about the Lovecraftian Hellboy universe. Spoilers, panel highlights, and contact info for Hellboy 3 internships after the jump. More »

Yahoo's got the full theatrical trailer for Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and once again it's clear that director Guillermo Del Toro won't be skimping on the monsters. Here we get to see more of the Golden Army itself, and the plot arc becomes clearer. Creatures from one of those other hellish dimensions have come to our world to reclaim it as their own. And of course Hellboy is brought in to fight them. Along with Abe Sapien, who is now more intriguing to me than ever because Hellboy creator Mike Mignola has just given Abe his own spinoff comic.

Gearfuse has somebody's camera-phone recording of the Cloverfield monster in action, which they posted as an animated gif. It sort of looks like a zany monster dance, partly thanks to the choppiness of the animation. This will be someone's LJ icon with a silly caption half an hour from now.

Guillermo del Toro isn't content enough to sit back on his Pan's Labyrinth earnings and let Hellboy 2: The Golden Army just ride the coattails of the original film into the box office. He's rumbling about a new television version of the mad scientist classic Frankentstein. "The only way to do the Shelley novel is to actually do a four-hour miniseries," said Del Toro, which is probably the smartest comment we've ever heard about adopting this book into a project. We say, you go, Guillermo. We know you could easily trump that Kenneth Branagh / Robert De Niro version. [MTV Movie Blog] More »

Hellboy II: The Golden Army will apparently be trotting out artwork much in the same way that Batman: The Dark Knight has been. At least you don't have to wait for any cards to flip over, or decipher obscure clues to see this one. But... it tells us nothing, other than the fact that yes, Selma Blair is in this movie. Which we already knew. Thank god we didn't have work out a puzzle in ancient Sanskrit to find that out, otherwise we'd know exactly how Ralphie felt in A Christmas Story when he decoded that Ovaltine mesage. More »
