At any rate, he spent several days on the set, as noted on his blog. Nope. Gaiman was there on set as a friend of del Toro and possible future collaborator, as they are discussing adapting one of Gaiman's works to the screen. But Gaiman did not work on the script. As I noted before, it's a story by del Toro and Mignola, with script by del Toro.

Reed None that I'm aware of, but I have never been sensitive to this kind of thing. There is a brief description of the plot, which is pretty much what you know from the trailers. Oh, and some references to cast members and screen time, which could be construed as circumstantial evidence without directly revealing much of anything.

It is such a richly imagined, generous, gorgeous monster movie that the Universal logo seems to carry additional lustre. I liked it better than the original, which I liked quite a bit, as I think the characters are more fleshed out here. Read Video WatchBlog at www.videowatchdog.com!

Jul 10 08 5:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Great review, Tim. Scripps Howard News Service was much less enthusiastic (see here), but I'm happier to follow your recommendation and see this soon. Buzz on the movie, however, is decidedly lacking. When I mention it at work or to friends, they are either surprised to hear that a sequel is coming out or they have no Hellboy knowledge at all.

Jul 10 08 5:12 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Our local Dallas rag provided a small "sneak peek" review today, written by a no-name under the McClatchy Paper Syndicate byline. Gave the film a C, said del Toro concentrated too much on visual effects and too little on the script. I'm going to see it anyway, maybe at next Monday's first showing (cheaper during the week). ...
