"A New York Comic Con audience got a first look today at next year’s Hellboy, with exclusive footage (not available online, and not an official trailer) proving star David Harbour’s onstage claim: Yes, Hellboy is a monster movie.
“There are a lot of CGI elements,” said Harbour, who plays the title character in director Neil Marshall’s new take on the comic and its horned hero, “but also a lot of practical stuff, like, crazy practical make-up.”
“And,” he continued, “there are so many monsters, not just Hellboy. Like, two practical monsters having a full scene with each other. And you feel the weight of that.”
Asked to name some of the monsters, practical or otherwise, that might be dropping by Hellboy for a cameo, Harbour (Stranger Things) made a long, pained explanation of how Lionsgate wouldn’t allow him to reveal such things, making a claw-like gesture through most of his refusal. At least one person in the crowd said, loudly, “Lobster Johnson!”
Mignola and the actors reiterated earlier statements that the new Ron Perlman-less take on the character amps up the horror aspects without losing the dark comedy of earlier incarnations (Guillermo del Toro directed the 2004 and 2008 films with Perlman in the role). “Existential horror” is one of the ways Harbour described the new film (set for release April 12, 2019).
The footage supports the description. After we see an elaborate, underground lake and cave, the clip moved to city streets and Law and Order-type courthouse steps littered with bodies. As Barbour’s Hellboy – sans horns, initially – gets out of a car to investigate, a cop shoots at him. “Hey,” he screams, “I’m on your side!”
From there we see plenty of fights, a bloody gunshot to a head (the film will be R-rated) and some internecine grouching (Daniel Dae Kim’s character at one point grouses, “I thought we were supposed to be fighting monsters, not working with them.”
As for Hellboy himself, he certainly has the wry sense of gallows humor we expect. Showing off a large gun that he’s apparently had for a long time, he says, “Some parents give their kids Legos…”
At another point, asked whether that big Right Hand of Doom can do anything special, Hellboy responds, “Yeah, it smashes things real good.”"

It really says a lot about modern cinema when a movie boasts about having actual practical effects.

"The first reactions to a test screening of the new Hellboy movie are in and so far they are not promising.
DanielRPK on Twitter reports that he has heard from some who were in the audience at the first test screening for Hellboy. What he has heard is not good.
“The reactions from test screenings for Hellboy so far are...pretty bad,” DanielRPK tweeted. “Which is a shame, I was really looking forward to it.”
Others echoed DanielRPK’s report, with Skyler Shuler only adding that star David Harbour actually does pretty well as Hellboy.
KC Walsh also says that Harbour gives it his best effort, but also lists several other big problems with the film. “Harbor tries his best but the dialogue, villain and story seem to be lacking,” Walsh tweeted.
It is worth noting that this was a test screening. The entire purpose of these kinds of early screening is to course correct while there’s still time. Then again, if the problems are really as all-encompassing as these reports seem to suggest there may be very little left to do to salvage the project.
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola helped write the film’s script and has praised the casting of Harbour as the titular hero."
