If you guys were a little more "concentrated" at the video, you'd see that he said that after they finished the story, the "threw it out" and started a new one:)
From what I have heard, the studios that made the first movie (Revolution, etc.) had financial problems and decided to drop the series, as it was a bit oddball, and they weren't sure if it would be profitable in the long run. So, it took a while but Universal finally picked it up. That's why the movie took so long... no moolah without a studio. Or at least thats what I've read, so I could be wrong.
The first one was a 2004 release, so actually, it is only four years. Plus, if it takes a movie two years from the start of the scripting to release, and it is in limbo for a while because of studio trouble, that actually isn't too bad. It's not like they can just turn these types of films out every couple months...
Do you understand english, ShadowSoldior? The studio dropped the series! They aren't lazy, they just didn't have the money or resources to make the movie. Plus, I'm sorry that they didn't live up to your standards, but movies are hard to make. Stop being such a jerk about it. "lazy bastards lol" That sounds so childish and uninformed that it is insane someone would actually write anything like that... Grow up, ShadowSoldior!
If you liked HellBOy comics check out some other Vertigo titles, Bite Club, Vamps, even Jonah Hex's new series is pretty good. Lots of great stuff being written and overlooked.
Lots of stuff that will end up as movies one day..

Sounds like a great guy, Hellboy is a great, enjoyable comic and was a great movie, I enjoy the folklore aspect of the comics. One of the few great comics left, MOST of the Marvel/DC/image stuff is garbage anymore.Look forward to the seoncd movie, Selma Blair is hot!!!
Ovenchip and Lordwillard, I did not realize this column was about being anal, I thought it was about Hellboy. My deepest apologies for misspelling my words, I beg for both of your everlasting forgivenes
s and promise upon my very soul to use speel check each and EVERY time I post any column on Youtube, since you two genuises are from the anal word police

Only 4 years? Feels more like 5. I've been wondering lately why the hell it took him so long.
