A Tale of Two Hellboys
Click HERE for Hi-Res Version!
As you can see above, Pearlman and Harbour's versions of Hellboy look pretty much the same, from a design standpoint. The two actors actually look remarkably similar when in the prosthetics and red body paint - but that doesn't mean the two Hellboys are interchangeable.
Obviously, Harbour's Hellboy let's his long hair flow - but all jokes aside, the main difference between the two designs is one of aesthetic. Simply put: Pearlman's Hellboy looks a lot "cleaner" and put together, while Harbour's Hellboy has a lot more (forgive the term) "grit" to him.
The veins running through the red body paint and prosthetics add a lot of needed texture; The rock hand looks a lot more rocky; even the pouches and flare the character wears seem a lot more "real" and distinct than the Pearlman version.
This new Hellboy reboot seems to be going with the concept of the character as a horror movie monster, rather than a superhero. With Neil Marshall known for making thrilling movies that have a dark, gritty, aesthetic, we have all the reason we need to officially get excited for this Hellboy reboot!
