Meow Invasion for HELLBOY 2

This has to be one of the strangest movie updates I've seen in a while. Neil Gaiman's daughter Maddy (When in doubt, use your daughter to give movie updates, Neil!) to give an update on HELLBOY 2:THE GOLDEN ARMY. In a post over at Neil Gaiman's official blog, has said that director Guillermo del Toro has started filming the sequel and has just shot a scene involving 75 cats in one scene. Strangely enough, she also revealed that they already have a DVD release date planned for the sequel a year before the movie even hits theaters. Obviously, that dvd release date isn't set in stone but it's interesting they told her that.

Here's what Maddy had to say:

If you’ve seen the first Hellboy you know that he likes cats. There is this scene in Hellboy’s bedroom where they needed about 75 cats to make it perfect. Filming for that part was over last week, but there are still two or three cats that that escaped and are still wandering around the set. The animal handler is trying to round them all up.

Today Javier, (refer to yesterday’s post, he does the DVD bonus features on Disc 2), interviewed me for the DVD! It was pretty awesome, but I totally look weird on camera. You will all just have to buy the DVD to find out what it’s like! I think it comes out in like December 2008 or something. Geez, I am surely getting some good publicity for this movie! No doubt about that… I totally think many people should thank me..
