Starz Brings Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron to DVD June 12th

When Fighting Your Destiny Will Save Your Future

STARZ HOME ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS THE ANIMATED FEATURE

HELLBOY ANIMATED: BLOOD & IRON

Featuring the voices of Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, John Hurt and Doug Jones

Spilling Onto DVD June 12

BURBANK, CA – It is a decision that would test anyone’s mettle: Hellboy must choose between the destiny he accepted – the protection of mankind – and the destiny for which he was created – the destruction of mankind. On June 12, Starz Home Entertainment brings back the graphic novel hero in his newest Hellboy animated feature, Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron. This latest feature from Mike Mignola and Oscar®-nominated Guillermo del Toro reunites Hellboy’s dramatic alumni: Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, John Hurt and Doug Jones. This DVD will be available at the SRP of $19.98 and pre-book is June 12.

With Hellboy: Blood & Iron, the combined talents of Tad Stones (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy) and Guillermo del Toro (writer/director, Hellboy, Oscar®-nominated for Best Original Screenplay: Pan’s Labyrinth) have created a bloody good adventure that both engages and excites.


Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron is reminiscent of the classic ‘Hammer Horror’ films: an atmospheric tale of gothic thrills and chills – stunning to look at, terrifying in content. In 1939, the young Professor Broom destroyed the vampire Erzsebet Ondrusko. Now, decades later, it seems that someone is trying to bring her back and Professor Broom (John Hurt – Hellboy, V for Vendetta) wants to investigate this worrisome development himself.

The agents from the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense – Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien – go with him, far more worried about defending their top researcher than with anything paranormal! But their view is soon revised when they find themselves battling werewolves, ghosts, harpies…even Erzsebet herself.

Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron strikes a rich vein of extras:

  • Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) Enhanced for 16×9 TVs
  • ‘Reversal of Fortune’: Professor Broom’s Story
  • Blood & Iron’s Alternate ‘Crappy’ ending
  • ‘The Iron Shoes’: The Animated Debut
  • ‘Pennangalan’: An E-Comic Exclusive from Mike Mignola
  • Audio Commentary featuring Mike Mignola, Tad Stones and Vic Cook
  • Exclusive 32-page Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron comic book

This will be the time when Hellboy faces the irony of his creation. Hellboy Animated: Blood & Iron forges this confrontation with over-the-top battles against the underworld to create an unforgettable experience!
