The actress talks about director Guillermo del Toro’s two big movie franchises
LOCATION: Middle Earth?
THE SKINNY: While promoting her new NBC comedy KATH AND KIM, Selma Blair spoke about the future of the HELLBOY franchise where she plays firestarter Liz Sherman. While the success of the second installment would seem like a third film would be a no brainer, she says she has heard no additional word, though she wouldn’t hesitate to come back for a return.
“I would be honored,” says Blair. “But I don’t know if that would happen.”
She does hint that writer-director Guillermo del Toro does have some ideas for a third HELLBOY, but nothing has been formally discussed.
“There are some ideas for a storyline,” says Blair. “He likes to keep it close to the vest and we kind of respect that.”
Considering Del Toro will be busy directing the back-to-back THE HOBBIT films for the next few years, HELLBOY III’s prospects look like a dim possibility, but what about Blair being in the director’s latest franchise? Has she bugged him about it?
“I know better than to bug him,” she says. “And I’m also involved in KATH AND KIM so there wold be no point.”
