Don't be misled into thinking that Hellboy is jumping on the comicbook adaptation gravy train started by X-Men in 2000 and continued by Spider-Man two years later. The film has been in development almost since the ink dried on Mike Mignola's first Hellboy comicbook in 1994. Here the principal players in the movie - Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro, and stars Ron Perlman and Selma Blair - talk about the movie and their careers...
