This is not only the most technically challenging and complex of the movies I've made,with the most special effects and elements, but rm also trying to respect a universe that I love,but that I didn't create, rm trying to make it to the screen without anything or anybody screwing it up, including me. This is as serious as I get into making a movie--to make it as beautiful as possible.

From the pages of one of the most acclaimed comic-book series in the world, and the mind of one of today's most visionary filmmakers, comes a horror movie--and a superhero-- unlike any you've seen before. Join director Guillermo del Toro (The Devil's Backbone, Blade 2) and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, along with the artists and technicians who helped bring Hellboy to life on the big screen, as they provide behind-the-scenes insight and commentary on one of Revolution Studios' biggest and most inventive films. This lavishly illustrated volume contains the complete, annotated final shooting script of the Hellboy movie, and a stunning selection of storyboards, character designs, production drawings, and personal anecdotes from the creative masterminds who worked together to make Hellboy the most memorable big-screen hero in years.
