Love the coverart! I for one loved the movie, so I'm really looking forward to this edition as well as the extended cut that Del Toro has promised.

I'll probably buy this edition, because I fear the extended cut may be held back, just like the Daredevil cut was. There's already a sequel planned for Hellboy, I fear the studio heads might hold the EE for cross-promotion.

We now have the extra feautres for Hellboy:

Columbia Tristar have come through with the full details of their July 27th release of Guillermo Del Torro's Hellboy Special Edition. The movie will boast an anamorphic widescreen transfer and DD5.1 English audio.

Extra features on the first disc will include an audio commentary with actors Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Rupert Evans & Jeffrey Tambor; another audio commentary with director Guillermo del Toro & co-executive producer Mike Mignola; 8 branching DVD Comics by Mike Mignola (white rabbit-esque); 8 Right Hand of Doom set visits (white rabbit-esque); 4 short films featuring the cartoons Hellboy himself recommends; and a picture-in-picture storyboard track

The second disc will contain a 150mins Hellboy: The Seeds of Creation making-of documentary; 4 Animatics; 5 Board-A-Matic side-by-side scene comparisons; 3 deleted scenes (with optional commentaries); a del Torro scene deconstruction; 4 storyboard to film comparisons; 9 theatrical & TV spots; poster explorations; filmographies; and previews.
Full article here.

The two commentaries and the 150mins documentary have definitely sold me on this release.

Well, I wasn't originally going to pick this up, was gonna wait for the extended 3-disc version, but this version looks to be a super-duper release in of itself, so therefore I may just pick this up.

That sounds like a nice set. Will pick it up along with the SE of Devil's Backbone. I still need to pick up Cronos as well.

Love Del Torro's audio commentaries! And I'm thrilled that he's being joined by Mignola on this one!

Glad that I was able to hold off on "The Devil's Backbone". I'll probably wait for the super-duper 3 disc release of "Hellboy", but I'll pick up the new release of "The Devil's Backbone" right away.

I wonder what else he could add for a three disc set then? This one sounds pretty packed.

I thought Daredevil was held back because people thought it sucked.

?

Daredevil does suck, but that's a discussion for another thread. Did you mean Devil's Backbone?

Considering how much is on this release, I can't imagine what other stuff they'll find to put on the extended version other than the longer cut of the film.

Either way, I'm buying both releases and The Devil's Backbone.
