From Columbia Tri-Star Home Video! Give evil Hell! From Director Guillermo del Toro (Blade II) comes this feature-length adaptation of Mike Mignola's big red, monster-bashing comic book icon, Hellboy! Born in the flames of hell during World War II, Hellboy (Ron Perlman) was conjured to Earth by evil madman Grigori Rasputin (Karel Roden) to perpetrate evil. Destined to be a harbinger of the apocalypse, the wayward whelp was rescued by Allied Forces led by Professor Broom (John Hurt), founder of the clandestine B.P.R.D. (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense), who raised him like a son and developed his extraordinary paranormal gifts. Despite his dark origins, Hellboy becomes an unlikely champion of good, battling the evil forces that threaten our world. Approximate running time: 132 minutes. Scheduled to ship in July 2004.
