Spoil "Hellboy 2" Extra Early!

by | August 9, 2006 | Comments

Not three days after we learned that Universal (not Sony) would be bankrolling "Hellboy 2," and already there’s a full screenplay breakdown that’s completely riddled with spoilers. Now, I like a good juicy plot synopsis as much as anyone, but I sure don’t want the entire movie spoiled for me! Anyway, one of those breakdowns is now available online, for those who aren’t sensitive little babies like me.

Courtesy of AICN: "Hellboy and and Liz have moved in together, albeit at the Paranormal Lab. John Myers is no longer a part of the team, and actually they don’t even mention his name in the draft I read – everyone else is back. Instead, Hellboy is chasing down some monsters and comes right across a news crew; the secret is out and the FBI has to eat crow and go public with their secret unit. This puts a lot of pressure on Hell and Liz, who were already expriencing serious problems. When Hell doesn’t do much of a good job coming off for the public, a suave character named Johann is brought it. He’s dressed like an old detective and has a glass bubble for a head that’s filled with what looks like gas. In some weird manifestation, Johann is actually free energy, more or less, contained in a suit (I have no idea if he’s a character in the comic or not)."

And that’s all I read. If anyone reads the whole report and wants to chime in with a "dvd case"-style plot synopsis, I’d like to read it.

Guillermo del Toro‘s "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" hits screens in Summer 2008.
