Cryo Announce Licensing Deal with Dark Horse
Hellboy: Tougher than any man, strong tempered and just hard as hell to kill!
Leading French-based games publisher Cryo today announced the major signing of a license with Dark Horse Interactive to produce Dark Horse Comics' critically acclaimed Hellboy into a state-of-the-art 3D-action game on PC, for release in November 2000.
Hellboy is based on the best-selling Dark Horse Comic about the world's leading paranormal investigator. Created by the highly respected comic strip artist and writer Mike Mignola, he is best known for his work with DC and Marvel Comics. Highlight comics of Mignola's includes Bram Stoker's Dracula, Batman, and The Hulk. Hellboy comics have sold millions throughout America and Europe.
Due to the recent resurgence of comic book heroes and the release of the new X-Men movie, Dark Horse Interactive have been negotiating with top Hollywood production studios about adapting Hellboy into a full length feature film similar to other recently successful comic spin-offs including Blade and Spawn. The movie, which has the working title of Hellboy 2002, is to be directed by Guillermo del Toro, and casts actor Ron Perlman as Hellboy.
Hellboy is a distinctive character with red skin, two broken horns, a pointed tail and a right arm made of the strongest stone, plunged into an exciting world of the sinister and the unknown. Working for the B.P.R.D. (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense - a top secret X-Files style agency), Hellboy is their finest agent, combating the ever-present forces of evil and the macabre.
