Guillermo del Toro Slams Academy for Oscars Telecast Shake-Up: 'This Is the Year to Sing and Do It Live' James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro, John Williams, and More Urge Academy to 'Reverse' Telecast Decision “Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman created this iconic thing that we thought could be reinvented and then certainly - the loudness of the internet was like, ‘We do not want you to touch this.’ And then we made a movie that I think is fun and I think had its problems but was a fun movie and then people were just very very against it and that’s people’s right but I learned my lesson in a lot of different ways.” “I think it failed before we began shooting because I think that people didn’t want us to make the movie,” Harbour said on Instagram this week (via Screen Rant). The actor says “Hellboy” fans, many of whom adore Guillermo del Toro’s 2004 movie and its 2008 sequel, were against the film before cameras started rolling. “Hellboy” was by all accounts a misfire, but Harbour says the project never stood a chance at success because of the animosity that surrounded the reboot from the start.
The gross at the domestic box office was a paltry $21 million.
The film carried a $50 million production budget but only made $44 million worldwide. Harbour was the face of Neil Marshall’s 2019 “ Hellboy” reboot, which earned some of last year’s worst reviews and box office numbers. David Harbour has had massive success on television thanks to his starring role on Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” but his film career in recent years hasn’t been as promising.
