Hellboy - Call of Darkness (original title Hellboy ) is an American fantasy film by Neil Marshall , which was released in German cinemas on April 11, 2019 and was released one day later in the USA. It is the third film with the cartoon character Hellboy as the main character.
action
Hellboy comes to England, where he has to defeat Merlin's wife, Nimue the Blood Queen. But their battle will bring about the end of the world, a fate he is desperate to avert.
production
Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden wrote the script together with Mike Mignola , the illustrator and author of the comic book. Directed by Neil Marshall .
David Harbor replaced Ron Perlman in the title role, who played Hellboy in the first two films. Daniel Dae Kim was cast as half-Japanese, half-American captain Ben Daimio after an originally planned casting of Ed Skrein led to whitewashing allegations. Milla Jovovich and Ian McShane can also be seen in other roles .
In the fall of 2017, filming took place on and in Wells Cathedral . Approval for this was given by those responsible after the makers of the film had convinced them that Hellboy is not a bad guy. Further recordings were made in the Nu Boyana Film Studios in Sofia. Filming ended on December 27, 2017.
The film music was composed by Benjamin Wallfisch . The soundtrack, which includes a total of 12 pieces of music, including Rock Me Like a Hurricane in a Spanish version of Unprotected Innocence, is due to be released by Sony Classical on April 5, 2019.
At the New York Comic Con in October 2018, excerpts from the film were shown to the fans and viewers present for the first time. The theatrical release for US cinemas was initially planned for January 11, 2019, but was then postponed to April 11, 2019. It should come to German cinemas on the same day. The premiere took place on April 9, 2019 in New York.
reception
Age rating
In the USA, the MPAA gave the film an R rating, which corresponds to a rating of 17 and over. In Germany the film is FSK 16 . The statement of reasons for the release states: “The story [...] has numerous fantasy and horror elements as well as extensive, sometimes drastically staged action and fight scenes. The gloomy atmosphere, combined with the cruelty and hectic pace of some passages, can emotionally overwhelm children under the age of 16. "
Reviews
So far, the film has received mostly negative reviews. The taz called the film a failure: It combines "quackled talk about the background of the plot and soulless action scenes without structure". The box office results for the film were also negative. Hellboy Call of Darkness grossed just $ 12 million in the first week of cinema in the United States. In Germany only 54,000 people saw the film on the first weekend, which corresponds to a turnover of 500,000 euros.
