Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen – Hot Bidding War Burns Up Cannes
If only it had been this easy to find funding for Guillermo del Toro’s third Hellboy film! Things are heating up in Cannes over the newly announced Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen as Yahoo! is reporting that with bids in the region of $13 million for mainland China, the film is one of the hottest on the Croisette.
International buyers are understood to have been told that the picture will be guaranteed a 2,000-screen release in North America.
The new Hellboy project emerged a couple of weeks ago with Mike Mignola, who created the original Hellboy comic, breaking the news on Facebook.
“Game of Thrones” and The Descent director Neil Marshall is attached to helm the film, and “Stranger Things” actor David Harbour is in talks to star.
