Guillermo El Cabron del Toro has a fascination with the classic monsters from Universal Studios, now that his baby Hellboy is at Universal, are there plans abrewin to bring the Creature, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Dracula and Mummy to the world of B.P.R.D.?

{sidebar id=1}Del Toro has always wanted Hellboy to play in the same sand box with the Universal Monsters so last night at the premiere of 30 Days of Night we chatted with the producer and publisher of Hellboy and the owner of Dark Horse Entertainment, Mike Richardson, to see if had any updates for us.

First, Mike tells us what we can expect from Hellboy 2, You wont believe what that movie looks like, its a whole different scaleyou wont believe what you are seeing, greatest sets that weve ever seen, its just huge.

So have Dark Horse and Universal started exploring the possibilities of bringing the world of Hellboy/B.P.R.D and Universal Monsters together in one film?

It shouldnt come to such a surprise that Universal would want to try to reboot the classic monsters. We asked Mike about the possibility and he answered, There might be something going on but I dont think that I can talk about itthere might be something that is being discussed.

While Mike is not able to talk about it as you can see in our video interview its quite obvious that this isnt just mere fanboy rumor mongering.

He also confirmed that a feature film for B.P.R.D is moving forward but these plans will depend on the success of Hellboy next year.

Can you imagine Abe Sapien and the Creature from the Black Lagoon going mano a mano? Or Hellboy vs. Dracula vs. The Wolfman vs. Frankenstein? Im sold, bring me my monsters!
