Ron Perlman is back as everyone’s favorite horned Hellboy in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. It’s been scheduled for a release date of July 11th, 2008. Also appearing are Selma Blair, James Dodd, Luke Goss, John Hurt, Jeffrey Tambor and others.

Guillermo del Toro is directing this one, and very likely number 3, whenever that is. In addition, he’s been directing several Hellboy animated movies for TV and video, and he’s the consulting producer on Hellboy Animated: The Phantom Claw for TV in 2008. He’s also producer on close to a dozen non-English features for 2008 and 2009.
