Some questions keep popping up that were part of the original announcement. So here it is:
On 11/09, Comics Continuum had this to say:
"HELLBOY ANIMATION UPDATE
IDT Entertainment announced on Wednesday that it has licensed all animation rights to the Hellboy property from Revolution Studios.
IDT Entertainment, in partnership with Revolution Studios, plans to develop animated content for television and home entertainment.
Production will use IDT Entertainment's animation studios in Los Angeles. IDT Entertainment Sales will handle worldwide sales and Anchor Bay Entertainment, an IDT Entertainment company, will distribute DVD/video product.
"Hellboy is a seminal figure in the comic book world and a proven winner in the feature film arena," said Morris Berger, IDT Entertainment CEO. "This deal adds to the luster of our ever-growing library of intellectual properties with worldwide fan appeal. We believe Hellboy's animated incarnation will benefit from our international sales, marketing, and distribution network."
Key creative talent and production entities associated with the 2004 live-action feature film will be involved in the continuing animated adventuresr. Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and Selma Blair (Liz Sherman) will lead the voice cast for the animated versions.
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and director Guillermo Del Toro are creative producers and will be intimately involved in story development and animation style.
Tad Stones, who has produced and directed full-length video features and animated television series, will be supervising director and supervising producer for IDT Entertainment. Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin of Lawrence Gordon Productions and Mike Richardson of Dark Horse Comics, who produced the live-action feature, will executive produce."
