Guillermo Del Toro Talks ‘Hobbit’ and ‘Hellboy III’
From MTV:
MTV: The movie is filled with those little threads, pieces you know will get picked up for part three. Do you already have a story for that film?
Del Toro: The third one is the adult consequence of what he chose in the second movie. The third movie would deal with facing essentially your destiny, if such a thing exists, and making the ultimate decision. The saying goes, “As you turn 40, you turn into your father.” That’s not good for Hellboy! That’s not a good sign for Hellboy! [Laughs.]
MTV: You’re committed to “The Hobbit.” Do you want to wait at least five years for “Hellboy III”?
Del Toro: If I had to choose between going faster or going slower, I’ll go slower. I don’t think sequels that are whipped out are the best ones. I love the idea that we took so many years to make this one. If it takes four years to make “Hellboy III,” I’m at peace.
MTV: It occurs to me what an embarrassment of riches this summer is.
Del Toro: Yeah, if somebody told you when you were 10 that you were going to have a summer like the last few summers, you would go insane; you would start bouncing off the walls.
