Last night Universal Home Video held a pretty nice party at the club Element (in Hollywood) to showcase their upcoming “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army” Blu-ray release.
While I haven’t watched the Blu-ray yet…based on what they showed us tonight, the disc is omfg. I mean it’s absolutely loaded with extras and tons of informative bits that show you how the special effects were done, how they made everything look so real, and I think by just watching this Blu-ray you could make your own Hellboy movie.
In the coming days Dellamorte will have a full review…but I can tell you right now it’s absolutely worth owning. Not only because the movie is good, but due to how much time and effort went into this Blu-ray.
Anyway, to help promote the upcoming release, Universal had a red carpet at the event and I was able to do a lot of interviews.
While I’ve already posted the Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair/Mike Mignola, Doug Jones and Producer Mike Richardson interviews, the one below is with Guillermo Del Toro.
While everyone else on the red carpet asked about "Hellboy 3" and "The Hobbit", I decided to go with a different line of questioning.
My friend Chris told me that Guillermo bought a second house just to store all his collectibles…so that’s what I asked about. And if you’re a fan of collecting memorabilia…..this will make you beyond envious. Trust me.
