Aug 14, 2006

Hellboy: Sword of Storms animated film coming to The Cartoon Network on October 28, 4 months before the DVD release date.

On October 28, The Cartoon Network will show the animated feature film Hellboy: Sword of Storms, four months before it's released on DVD.

Sword of Storms pits Hellboy against the ancient Japanese demons of Thunder and Lightning, who wish to ravage our world. However, he picks up a samurai sword, which transports him to an alternate universe of Japanese myth.

Several actors from the 2004 Guillermo Del Toro movie lend their voices to this feature, including Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz Sherman) and Doug Jones (who acted Abe Sapien: voice actor David Hyde-Pierce refused to be credited). John Hurt also returns as Prof. Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm; unlike the live-action movie, his character is very much alive.

Hellboy creator Mike Mignola wrote the script, and Phil Weinstein and Tad Stones directed.

There will be a second animated Hellboy feature, Blood and Iron, which involves vampires and haunted houses, due in 2007. Mignola is also working with Del Toro on the live-action Universal film Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, slated for 2008.
