Guillermo del Toro is the king of films stuck in development hell, with many a project suspended in limbo. One of these is unfortunately the long awaited third movie in his Hellboy series.

Though the film have an ardent cult fanbase, the story of an anti-hero demon just doesn’t appeal to mainstream audiences like Spider-Man or Batman, and so, the Hellboy films have never been big money-makers.
