For a Price http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/12054 Print This Page While Universal preps the release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army on July 11, director Guillermo del Toro is already thinking about a third film - and sealing off the franchise for good. Inside you can read about what it would take to have him return for a third film and what the plot would be - but don't expect to hear anything about it anytime soon as Del Toro just signed the dotted line to direct THE HOBBIT. Guillermo del Toro, writer/director of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, told SCI FI Wire that he would like to do a third film if the upcoming sequel does well, but no more. "If there was ever a third one, I would really make sure that we at least sign a contract that there is no more," del Toro said in an interview at New York Comic Con last week. "No prequels and no sequels: nothing. If that happens, then there is a third one we have planned, and the seeds are planted in this film." Hellboy II: The Golden Army departs from Mike Mignola's comic books, with an original story that centers on a fantastical realm based on mythology created by Mignola and del Toro together. If a third installment becomes a reality, del Toro said the story would shift back to the pulp mythology of the original comic-book series. "The idea for me is to bring back the Nazis characters, but bring them back in a way they would operate now," del Toro said. "Meaning, what public face would the Nazis have in 2009/2010? How rich would they be? How in charge could they be? It's not this group of freakies that hide in the sewers, but people that are incredibly rich."
