Tons of retakes remain but the timing of the movie is locked. Well, actually there's a short prologue and credit sequence that the computer department will be adding but I'd say we'll end up between 75 and 76 minutes without the end credits.
The timing of the main picture shouldn't change from here on out. Chris Drake is now scoring music to the exact frame. The guys at Audio Circus are deciding how long the sound of a zombie head exploding should be. Does it last as long as the visual or are the last wisps of zombie dust silent?
Meanwhile, the visuals are tweaked. Shake fx can be added in Final Cut along with blur fx and of course retakes are cut in as they come in.
It's about six weeks until the premiere on Cartoon Network. There's a lot of interest from other countries. It's not out of the question that at least one English speaking country (that is, a country that can air the movie without it being dubbed) could also air it before Halloween. Let's hope.
Mipcom Jr. (just Google it) is coming up soon where broadcasters from around the world will be buying it for their markets. So think good thoughts and maybe it'll show up on your TV wherever you are. -- Tad

hb...where do you live? Things may be brighter than you think.
6 weeks! It is getting unbareable! I hope things go well for other countries to get the chance to see this as soon after October as possible. Hellboy is a global phenomenon.

I've been following this here and on Cheek's DA page and I've gotta say I'm hyper about this animated film. I'm just hoping the UK will get to see this......

Download = no more Hellboys.
You have six weeks to find friends with cable. How hard can that be? Wear a disguise, claim to be a lost cousin. or go to a Halloween party with cable and get everyone to watch.
That'll hold you til February when the DVD is out.
