First Trailer
Check out the first Blood and Iron Trailer over on YouTube. It's a little dark and short but it gives you a taste of how different it is from Sword of Storms. I didn't see the trailer until after it was done or there'd be latter retakes of some of the scenes. There's also one scene that's not from the movie. If you know your Mignola then you'll have a clue to the extra special DVD extra that will accompany Blood and Iron.
The visual side of Blood and Iron is wrapped. The color balancing went well and straightened out some color glitches that have bothered me for months. I visited Chris Drake's studio and previewed some of the music. Beautiful, powerful and in some sequences, very sad. We mix the second week in January then it's all up to you guys. We hope that by the end of February our next movie is good to go.
Merry Christmas!
Thanks Tad! Wonderful Christmas present. I look forward to seeing it.
As to the "clue"...it is a little to dark on my monitor to really tell what's going on so I don't really know.
Movie isn't even out yet and you taunt us with DVD extras. You are an evil man, Mr. Stone.

Oh wauw - what an awesome trailer!!! Piced together like a swichclockwork! ;)
Only thing I didn't care so much for, was at the very end, when the speaker says: "Hellboy: Blood anf Iron"... he's trying to sound cool, but just ends up sounding like a joke! Ah well... ;)
Very nice work ... looking forward to seeing it. :)

Hmmm... The only thing I spotted that might be from another Mignola story was Hellboy getting pulled out of the tower wall by the rope. Someone at the end of it with some heavy footware, perhaps?

yeah! Looks great and significantly darker than the first one. As for the DVD clue...I have no idea.
I DID CATCH one thing though...when the word 'destiny' flashes on screen theres the silouette of baby hellboy in there? Maybe HE's going to be incoporated in some fashion? who knows? all I know is that was a great christmas gift! Thanks Tad

We'll save the longer trailer for January so it builds more excitement for the DVD release of Sword of Storms and the premiere of Blood and Iron. I'm actually surprised they put this trailer out this week since it will be swallowed by Christmas stuff.
But it does make this one look tame.
