"Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment's Hellboy reboot is going to miss the 25th anniversary of Mike Mignola‘s Dark Horse Comics creation by about a year, but the good news is that this new take on Anung un Rama will arrive early in 2019. Stranger Things star David Harbour takes on the title role in Neil Marshall‘s film, which also stars Milla Jovovich, Ian McShane, and Daniel Dae Kim. As THR reports, Hellboy will arrive January 11, 2019. Currently, that puts the film in direct competition with Fox's sci-fi/adventure flick Ad Astra starring Brad Pitt, Donald Sutherland and Tommy Lee Jones, directed by James Gray; and Paramount's curious comedy, What Men Want, fronted by Taraji P. Henson. Those films will all be followed up by the highly anticipated Glass from Blumhouse and Universal the very next week, so we'll see which one has the best legs and/or which film(s) shifts schedules…" Main page link Amicalement Armand |

I am starting to dread the term "reboot." |

The first movie was wonderful and the second was…okay. I'm not sure a reboot is a good idea but then..? |

As great as Ron Perlman was as Hellboy, he is getting a bit long in the tooth for action roles. I'd really like to just see them continue the franchise with new actors like the Bond franchise. |

Gardensnake +1 In the bond flicks you could say that there were many 00's and that different people held that 007 number as the previous holder died or retired with honours. That works. So quit reboots, continuation is better, refering back to prior stories as they do so successfully in the American soaps where actors come and go all playing the same roles. |

You all just don't get it… That denies Writers and Directors their ego-laced "take" on the subject, they KNOW they can tell it better, I mean, you do realize that each Writer and Director DESERVES to have THEIR version on film, no matter how many came before (cough – Spider-Man, Godzilla – cough.) It's Hollywood, they really don't care what you want, they'll make what THEY want, and the ratings and reviews prove it. Although, there are the very rare instances where the reboot IS better (The Thing, Little Shop of Horrors.) |

I agree with Mardaddy. I still enjoy the old Bond flicks and old movies in general. Not so much Harveywood. |

On Bond – maybe, but do they specifically look for people with the name "James Bond" to be 007? |

+1 Mardaddy . Good point Dynaman8789-:)) |

I have in my portable DVD player right now the Dirty Harry series… the old TV series "Soap" ran out of discs. I play it while I am baking or doing chores. It's not "making do" to rewatch the old. I love seeing the "old" SF skyline! In the DVD player at my painting table is BBC House of Cards. |

It's Hollywood, they really don't care what you want, they'll make what THEY want, and the ratings and reviews prove it. Actually they make what their shareholders want. And they only care about the bottom line. Hence little innovation, rather we get remakes, reboots, sequels and prequels. Nothing about this reboot seems interesting. |
