Title: Del Toro trolls both the Dark Universe and his Hellboy fans; decides to just...
Post by: JasonPratt on July 20, 2017, 06:38:02 PM
...go ahead and make the Creature from the Black Lagoon movie this year for Fox Searchlight, except the (quite explicitly) Amazonian "Creature" (who very explicitly has the Creature's signature hands) is really an Abe Sapien prologue sort of (whom he also resembles), set in the 50s. Y'know, when the Creature movies were made.

Also, this is not a joke.



Even if this turned out to be the suckiest movie ever made, this would still be unspeakable genius.  :notworthy:

Moviebob loves the radical left massaging (I mean MESSAGING ;) ) -- you're shocked, I can tell -- but the rest of it sounds about on par with what we were expecting.  :bd: Basically David Cronenberg's "Return of the Creature Walks Among Us" starring Hellboy fan-favorite character Abe Sapien, more or less.



Bonus points for Doug Jones pre-reprising his Abe Sapien role. Which shouldn't have surprised me, he's a Del Toro staple after all.

Could be a good catch. Hope it doesn't flounder at the box office.

I'm going to have to assess a double catch penalty on that pun.

Holy mackerel is this getting bad.
