Personal Quote: I come from a dad who I adored, upon whose thought and word I hung. He was agnostic and maybe even an atheist.

Ron-Perlman Guillermo del Toro Wants to Know How Many of You Want to See ‘Hellboy 3’ Posted on Thursday, January 19th, 2017 by Jack Giroux The last update we got on Hellboy 3: Don’t get your hopes up. Director Guillermo del Toro has had trouble finding financing for the film, which is bigger in scope compared to the previous Hellboy movies.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army got made because a studio head was a fan of del Toro’s and the first movie performed so well on DVD, a market that died around the time the sequel hit home video. Since the movie’s release in 2008, every once in a while del Toro, Ron Perlman, and Hellboy’s creator, Mike Mignola, will discuss the chances of a third installment. There are no significant or minor developments regarding the project, but del Toro still absolutely wants to make the film and, if enough fans want him to, he’ll meet with Mignola and Perlman to talk about it again. ‘Trollhunters’ Featurette: Enter Guillermo del Toro’s Colorful, Fantastical Animated Series Posted on Thursday, December 15th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton It feels like it’s been too long since we’ve gotten a new project from Guillermo del Toro. That might be because Crimson Peak was a bit of a disappointment last year, and we’ll be waiting until sometime next year to see his next movie, The Shape of Water, which started filming just a few months ago . But in the meantime, we’ll have a little something to hold us over.

Guillermo del Toro has been working with Netflix on an animated series called Trollhunters, adapted from a book he wrote himself with Daniel Kraus. While it’s clearly geared towards kids, it has some stylish animation and fantasy action that should keep his adult fans entertained until his new movie arrives. You can see what we’re talking about in a new Trollhunters featurette with new footage and some insight from del Toro himself. Read More » New ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Clips: Newt Scamander Gets Interrogated, Asks a Goblin For Help Posted on Monday, November 14th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton We’re just a few days away from seeing if Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them lives up to the rather positive reviews that surfaced over the weekend . With that in mind, Warner Bros. Pictures is making one last push to drum up interest in the Harry Potter spin-off, though we’re pretty sure there’s already plenty of interest from the wizarding world fans out there.

Two new Fantastic Beasts clips have been released online by the studio, and they both offer up some interesting new details about our lead character, magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), as well as one of the creatures in his possession. Plus, we get to see Mr. Scamander engage with Colin Farrell‘s character Percival Graves, an Auror for MACUSA’s Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and Ron Perlman as a goblin that is basically a 1920s gangster. Watch the new Fantastic Beasts clips after the jump. Read More » ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ Character Posters Are Full Of Little Details Posted on Wednesday, October 12th, 2016 by Ethan Anderton Were just over a month away from the expansion of the wizarding world on the big screen with the arrival of the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The most recent trailer is what finally got me excited about what this franchise starter has to offer, and now a new batch of character posters offer some interesting details that provide some insight into the new characters we’ll be meeting, including Eddie Redmayne as New Scamander.

Some offer little plot details while one in particular features a certain symbol that Harry Potter fans will recognize immediately. Check out the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them character posters after the jump.

But in the meantime, he’s got a new small-screen project coming our way, the Netflix animated series Trollhunters. And in typical del Toro fashion, he’s managed to round up quite a cast. Kelsey Grammer, Ron Perlman, and Anton Yelchin will all lend their voices to the fantasy adventure, which is produced by DreamWorks Animation.

The Marvel Comics character was teased as an addition to the sequel by The Merc with a Mouth himself in a closing credits scene that parodied Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and since then the likes of Stephen Lang and Dolph Lundgren have thrown their hats in the ring. Now one more actor has revealed his desire to play the role, and he’s no stranger to comic book action. Hellboy and Sons of Anarchy star Ron Perlman has taken to social media to convince everyone how perfect he is for the role of Cable, and when you see a piece of artwork featuring the actor as the character, it’s hard to argue with him. See Ron Perlman as Cable after the jump. Read More » ‘Hellboy 3’: Ron Perlman Says You Shouldn’t Get Your Hopes Up Posted on Monday, March 7th, 2016 by Jacob Hall When the superhero movie boom eventually ends and a historian sits down to write the big book recounting the history of this genre and its impact on popular culture and the film industry, the chapter of Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films should make for an interesting read.

Here are two films directed by one of the most beloved filmmakers working today that limped out of theaters following disappointing theatrical runs, only to find their their true audience on DVD. Here are two films that demand a sequel, a conclusion, but won’t get one because a passionate online following doesn’t always translate to actual money at the box office. Now, series star Ron Perlman is admitting that Hellboy 3 probably won’t happen. It’s time to put this pipe dream to bed. Rumor: ‘Justice League Dark’ Has Found Its Villain and is Tracking Down Its Heroes Posted on Wednesday, November 18th, 2015 by Jacob Hall The mere fact that a Suicide Squad movie is coming out next year is proof that Warner Bros. isn’t afraid to dip its toe into the weirder corners of the DC comic book world. And that’s great news because the weirder corners of the DC universe are where the best characters tend to hang out. Forget about Batman and Superman and their dawn of justice – let’s see the dark and magical likes of John Constantine and Deadman and Swamp Thing and Zantana team up on the big screen.

While we’re bummed that Justice League Dark will no longer be a Guillermo del Toro joint , we’re excited that it’s still in the works and is still utilizing many of the characters and concepts from del Toro’s screenplay. The film is far enough along in development that the names of certain actors and actresses are starting to come crawling out of the rumor mill. So who’s in contention for Constantine, Swamp Thing, and Madame Xanadu? And who apparently the frontrunner to play villain Anton Arcane? Let’s dive in. Ron Perlman Explains Guillermo del Toro’s Apocalyptic ‘Hellboy 3’ Story Idea Posted on Tuesday, September 8th, 2015 by Russ Fischer The “will they or won’t they” question about the creation of a third Hellboy movie is one that continues to come up as writer/director Guillermo del Toro moves through Crimson Peak and into a second Pacific Rim movie. The director hasn’t said anything else that inspires great optimism, and star Ron Perlman now seems to have little personal desire to make the movie. Or, as Perlman said in a recent interview , “I don’t want to do Hellboy 3.

It’s a pain in the ass to put that makeup on and take it off. But I feel we’re obligated to finish the story.” And now thanks to a new interview, we know something about del Toro’s Hellboy 3 story idea that juices up the actor enough that he might just do it, if someone was willing to pay.

Ronald N. Perlman was born April 13, 1950 in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York. His mother, Dorothy (Rosen), is retired from the City Clerk's Office. His father, Bertram "Bert" Perlman, now deceased, was a repairman and a drummer.

His parents were both from Jewish families (from Hungary, Germany and Poland). With a career spanning over three decades, Perlman has worked alongside such diverse actors as Marlon Brando , Sean Connery , Dominique Pinon , Brad Dourif , Ed Harris , John Hurt , Jude Law , Christina Ricci , Federico Luppi , Sigourney Weaver , Michael Wincott and Elijah Wood to name a few. While he has never been a bankable star, Perlman has always had a large fanbase. He started out strong as Amoukar, one of the tribesmen in Jean-Jacques Annaud 's Academy Award-winning film Quest for Fire (1981), for which he earned a Genie Award nomination. Perlman teamed up with Annaud again, this time as a hunchback named Salvatore in The Name of the Rose (1986). His first real breakthrough came later when he landed the role of the noble lion-man Vincent, opposite Linda Hamilton on the fantasy series Beauty and the Beast (1987). His work in this role earned him not only a Golden Globe Award but an underground fan following. Sadly the series was cancelled in its third season shortly after Hamilton's character's death.

After that, he spent time doing supporting work on television and independent films such as Guillermo del Toro 's debut Cronos (1993) (where a lifelong friendship and collaboration between the director and Perlman would blossom) as Angel and his first lead role as One in Jean-Pierre Jeunet 's surreal The City of Lost Children (1995). His first real big role in a mainstream film came when Jeunet wanted him for the brutish Johner in his first Hollywood outing Alien: Resurrection (1997). Perlman has also used his distinctive voice to his advantage, appearing in many animated films/series, commercials and he is a video game fan favorite because of his work on such games as the Fallout series. It was not until much later he received worldwide fame when his good friend Guillermo del Toro helped him land the title role in the big-budget comic book movie Hellboy (2004). Del Toro fought the studio for four years because they wanted a more secure name, but he stood his ground and in 2004, after almost 25 years in and out of obscurity, Perlman became and household name and a sought out actor.

Perlman has had one of the most offbeat careers in film, playing everything from a prehistoric ape-man to an aging transsexual and will always be a rarity in Hollywood. Other notable roles include the cunning Norman Arbuthnot in The Last Supper (1995), sniper expert Koulikov in Enemy at the Gates (2001), vampire leader Reinhardt in Blade II (2002), his reprisal of Hellboy in Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) and biker chief Clarence Morrow on the popular series Sons of Anarchy (2008).

In 2012, Perlman once again endured the 4-hour makeup routine required to transform him into Hellboy -- not for a sequel or other acting job but to fulfill the Make-A-Wish request of a six-year-old boy named Zachary who has leukemia.

Personal Quotes (18) I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being... So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...

One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint. I've done millions of mediocre movies. I've done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school. [on being a director] I don't like working with me. I would punch myself in the mouth if I had to take my direction. [When asked what his idea of Hell is] Working at a job that you hate. Having a career and a life that you have no passion for. That's hell. [on Guillermo del Toro ] It seems as though we are like brothers. After knowing the guy for five minutes, it was one of these instances, where you felt, that you've known him for twenty-five years. This instantaneous friendship and recognition. Very, very similar way of viewing the world. And then we found, that working with each other, there was a real simpatico. And I think you could even say, that we are alter egos for one another.

Like if he was an actor, he would be me and if I was a filmmaker, I would be him. We seem to be trying to make the same statement in the world. I'd be dead without my sense of humor. I can't imagine processing the shit we are slogging our way through in life without it. In a twenty-four-hour space, you get an acute sense of how all of this injustice and out-rage is absurd. There are things that are truly serious, like when one loses his health or gets into a life-threatening accident. But the rest of it... If you can't laugh your way through life, then you are fucked. Humor was the first form of armor I ever wore to counteract my self-image. The first girl I ever asked out on a date laughed at me, because she thought I was kidding. While I didn't cry on the surface, inside I was weeping. But outwardly I made a joke out of the situation. So humor has always been my shield against the slings and arrows. I turn them into something satiric. [1990] People are doing sitcoms on stage rather than theater.

You go to the theater, and it's as if you were watching a sitcom at 8:30 on Channel 4. [When asked if he is afraid to be typecast as a tough guy after Alien: Resurrection (1997)] I don't bear any label. I perform very extreme characters, but at the same time men with an enormous goodness. Take for example the Hercules from The City of Lost Children (1995), One, he is a child in an adult body; One is pure, simple and innocent. My character in Beauty and the Beast (1987) had an enormous generosity, far from this world; the Beast was too good to be real. It's true that I hardly play ordinary people due to my appearance, anyway I am not a captive of any register, I don't systematically play tough and not very bright people. I congratulate myself for my varied filmography and for being able to do all roles. I lost 90 pounds and my blood pressure went down to a normal level and the salt in my urine disappeared. And that was when I had to make the transition from fat character actor to thin character actor.

[on acting] It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it. I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight. I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up. I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck. I don't think anything is ever going to replace the human heart and what that generates in terms of performance. [on his childhood days] I was not dealt the best physical hand in the world. My nose didn't fit my mouth. My forehead didn't fit my cheeks. And those are traditionally the years when a boy is judged primarily on his looks. So consequently, I suffered from very low self-esteem.

In a sense, I had a beast inside me. That beast was fear and insecurity. [on his love for the Turner Classic Movies channel] My antidote to a cold, hard, really cruel world is to go back and watch old black and white movies and go, "Oh, Oh... Oh, Humphrey! Oh, Cary! Oh, Burt!". That's it, man. I mean, you know it's just another time and place. It seems like there was a little order to the universe back then. I come from a dad who I adored, upon whose thought and word I hung. He was agnostic and maybe even an atheist. He had that kind of an active dysfunction with that kind of spiritual stuff. Strangely enough, it was him dying that kind of turned me onto this universe that was made up of things that weren't explainable - that ultimately I assigned to this all-present, all-powerful being who sees all, knows all, and who, really, actually, does have a plan.

[on In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2007)] I'm doing weapons training for this piece of shit, then I go to Romania to shoot another piece of shit, then come back to shoot my part in this piece of shit...[sighs]...What can I say? My wife loves shoes. Salary (1) Hellboy 3 Will Be Mind-Blowing, According To Ron Perlman - CINEMABLEND Hellboy 3 Will Be Mind-Blowing, According To Ron Perlman By Nick Romano 1 year ago Ron Perlman’s mission to get Hellboy 3 made continues. The actor is trying to tap into the fan base to drum up buzz for a third installment of the comic book franchise, but so far a studio has not green lit a return adventure. That hasn’t stopped Perlman from talking up a storm. In a recent interview, he teased the story for Hellboy 3, and if you liked the first two films, apparently you’ll be blown away by the third.

Perlman told Variety in an interview that, essentially, fans should all be backing this film because it has a mind-blowing nugget that will send them all into a collective geek out. He said, It’s in Guillermo’s head. And he’s shared enough of it with me to know that it will be mind-blowing. I mean it will be mind-blowing. It will be great cinema. And if you are somebody who followed the first two movies, it will be even more mind-blowing because we have something… if you liked the first one and the second one, we have something really rock ’em, shock ’em in the third one. I’m surprised he didn’t say "mind-blowing" at least three more times. Earlier this month, Perlman took to Facebook and Twitter to try and utilize the power of social media to finally get a studio to sign off on Hellboy 3. He wrote, "Let’s get this muthafucka trending, y’all." And they did.

Headlines littered the blogosphere and Perlman’s updates garnered more than 20,000 retweets and nearly 16,000 favorites on Twitter, and nearly 90,000 likes on Facebook. If you recall, Deadpool went through a similar situation, though one not so direct. Director Tim Miller and his star Ryan Reynolds had been fighting to see Deadpool properly realized on the big screen with a solo movie, but Fox wasn't signing off on the project. That is, until a certain leaked piece of test footage started making the rounds and became a viral hit. With the fans behind the project, the studio green lit it for production, and now Deadpool is getting released on February 12 of next year. Could the same happen for Hellboy 3? Guillermo del Toro previously teased the plot for a potential Hellboy 3. While the first two films played up Big Red’s destiny — he’s a beast designed to herald the arrival of the apocalypse — the third film would see Hellboy embracing it, ironically becoming a much darker being in order to save humanity.

Perlman recently clarified that he doesn’t know what the outcome of this social media battle will be, but he will continue to fight for Hellboy 3. Because no one, it seems, wants to make the film more than Perlman. Subscribe To Topics You're Interested In close Ron Perlman Biography | Fandango Ron Perlman Biography Apr 13, 1950 Birth Place: New York City, NY Biography Ron Perlman grew up in the Washington Heights section of New York City, where his father was a radio/TV repairman and his mother an employee with the city's Department of Health. A profoundly unhandsome youth, Perlman was nonetheless very active in high school theater by virtue of his height (6-foot-2) and his deep, rolling voice. He continued studying drama at Lehman College and later at the University of Minnesota, where he graduated with a master's degree in theater arts. He went to work with New York's Classic Stage Company, an organization specializing in Elizabethan and Restoration plays. Perlman starred in several Manhattan and touring productions staged by Tom O'Horgan of Hair fame before accepting his first film role as a Neanderthal man in 1981's Quest for Fire .

Emotionally drained, Perlman backed off from acting after finishing the movie, but was soon back in the groove, essaying such attention-getting roles as the hunchbacked Salvatore in The Name of the Rose (1986). Most often cast as brooding, inarticulate, villainous characters in films (such as Pap in 1993's The Adventures of Huck Finn ), Perlman became best known for his performance as the beneficent, albeit hideously ugly, sewer-dwelling Vincent in the late-'80s TV series Beauty and the Beast. Though this remained the actor's defining role for years after the show's run had drawn to a close, he was busier than ever through the '90s. Appearing in everything from obscure arthouse hits ( Cronos [1993] and The City of Lost Children [1995]) to voice-over work for television (Aladdin) and video games (Fallout, A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game) to overblown Hollywood blockbusters ( Alien Resurrection ), Perlman left few stones unturned in terms of flexibility and experimentation in new media.

He continued this trend into the early 2000s, alternating between various arenas with remarkable ease and refusing to be pigeonholed, appearing in such high-profile releases as Titan A.E. (2000), Enemy at the Gates (2001), and Blade II (2002). Though his recognition factor seemed higher than ever, few could foresee the opportunity just ahead when Blade II and Cronos director Guillermo del Toro announced that Perlman would star in the film adaptation of Mike Mignola 's popular comic book Hellboy, although it seemed highly unlikely that studios would invest the millions of dollars needed to bring the comic to life with an actor of such minimal "marquee value." They wanted Vin Diesel for the role, but del Toro, with the blessing and encouragement of character originator Mignola , eventually won out to have Perlman play the Nazi-creation-turned-superhero in the 2004 fantasy-action film. — Hal Erickson, Rovi Deadpool 2: How Would You Like to See Ron Perlman as Cable?

— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) May 20, 2016 Perlman is obviously no stranger to comic book action, having played the title character in the Hellboy franchise for a couple of films. The actor has even been trying to get Hellboy 3 off the ground, even if he doesn’t necessarily want to reprise the role, but the chances are slim that it will ever happen. So maybe getting Perlman suited up as Cable will be our consolation prize. Again, for those who aren’t familiar with Cable, he’s a character who has quite a history in the comic books with Deadpool. The two had their own comic book series that ran for 50 issues, but before that, Deadpool first appeared on the page of Marvel Comics in New Mutants #98. In that issue, he was tasked with killing Cable. In addition, Cable is also the son of Scott Summers (Cyclops) and a clone of Jean Grey, born as a result of Mr. Sinister manipulating their family lineage in order to find a mutant powerful enough to defeat Apocalypse. We don’t know how much of that will be used for the big screen version of the character though.

Ron Perlman undoubtedly has the looks to play Cable, and he’s a far better dramatic actor than the other two options who have been thrown into the ring. Plus we know he has the comedic chops to hold his own against Ryan Reynolds, even though Cable is played far more seriously that the Merc with a Mouth. For my money though, I still think the suggestion of Mel Gibson from the Deadpool credits scene is right on the money. While it might have been intended as a joke due to his profile in the entertainment industry as a bit of a nut, he would actually fit the role perfectly. Cool Posts From Around the Web: The Marvel Superhero Ron Perlman Believes He Was Born To Play - CINEMABLEND The Marvel Superhero Ron Perlman Believes He Was Born To Play By Conner Schwerdtfeger 7 months ago Ron Perlman will go down in history as Hellboy. He played that particular part so well that many consider the Hellboy franchise to be one of the best superhero series of all time. That being said, Perlman himself has other plans in mind when it comes to taking on new roles within the comic book genre.

As it turns out, there’s one particular character he thinks he’s destined to play, and that character will soon debut alongside Ryan Reynolds ’ Wade Wilson. Cable. The 66-year-old actor recently took to Facebook to post the above photo of himself alongside iconic X-Man Cable in order to prove that he's the perfect choice for the character in Deadpool 2. In the caption to the photo he makes a remark about being the only actor whose hair matches that of Nathan Summers. Although it may seem like a ridiculous aspect of the character to place such heavy emphasis on, the Merc with the Mouth did make a special point to bring up the character’s white flat top during the post-credits scene of Deadpool, so kudos to Ron Perlman for picking up on that. Tim Miller’s Deadpool opened up a brave new world of possibilities for FOX’s X-Men universe. With Deadpool 2 on the way, the only thing we truly know for sure is the fact that time-travelling badass Cable will soon make an appearance.

With that in mind, fans have begun speculating as to who would make the best candidate – with choices ranging from Jon Hamm to Keira Knightley – and several major Hollywood actors besides Perlman have thrown their respective hats in the ring for the part as well. All that being said, Ron Perlman makes a serious case for him to become the rightful heir to the highly-coveted part in the next Deadpool film. Ron Perlman wouldn’t let the matter rest either, as he would post another side-by-side photo to his Facebook soon after featuring a photo of himself and art from his favorite artist, Shaine Schroeder. Check it out below: The hunt for the proper Cable is an incredibly important one. His introduction will be almost as important as Deadpool’s in setting up properties like X-Force and other major R-rated FOX films. Ron Perlman seems like a good fit for the part, but only time will tell if he makes the final cut. We will keep you posted regarding any and all updates related to Deadpool 2 as they become available to us. Hell yes! Eh, maybe. I can see it. Um, no. Eh, maybe. I can see it. 23% Um, no.
