Selma Blair Inteview - 'Hellboy 2' delayed ?

Posted by:

Selma Blair, co-star of the SF comic-book adaptation "Hellboy", told SCI FI Wire that shooting for the film's proposed sequel will likely be delayed while director Guillermo del Toro tackles another project.

Blair said in an interview: "I don't start that for probably a year and a half. Guillermo is working on something else, so I'll probably have to wait. I talked to Guillermo last week when I was in Europe with him. He's sworn me to secrecy, but it's so good, and I'm so excited."

Blair played Liz Sherman in the 1st "Hellboy" movie, a woman who can control fire with her mind. She said that she looks forward to expanding her character's personalityâ€”and wardrobe. "We kind of came together with what I wanted (on the first film). I want more control and for Liz to be sexier for the second one, and I hope the wardrobe will reflect that, because she's no longer a shrinking violet."

She also said that she plans to put motherhood (Blair married actor Ahmet Zappa immediately prior to the release of "Hellboy" earlier this year) on hold until after she completes the sequel. Selma said: "I would love to have a child, but I want to wait until â€˜Hellboyâ€™ is over, because that's a really long arduous shoot in another country."

At last she added, that she wouldn't be opposed to doing a third "Hellboy" film as well: "Hopefully by then I will have made so much money on â€˜Hellboy 2â€™ that I can afford a nanny and someone to take care of me, exercise my legs and look better. Right now, I'm what is called regular folk."
