Signs are good for the 2004 cinematic debut of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. Director and writer Guillermo Del Toro seems to be creatively invested in the character, and I’m so thankful that the title role will be played by an actor with a bit of real grit Ron Perlman rather than a vainglorious Hollywood drip like Vin Diesel or some such. The movie’s promotional Web site, cleverly called Hellsite, is even up and ready to go a year early. When’s the last time a Web site launched a year early?
