| Hellboy: Sword of Storms
BURBANK, CA – On February 6, 2007, Starz Home Entertainment summoned a world of myth, magic and mayhem with the release of the animated feature, Hellboy: Sword of Storms. Based on the character created in the influential graphic novel (an exclusive 32-page limited edition comic is included with this release) and featured in the wildly successful 2004 Hellboy theatrical, Hellboy: Sword of Storms is the first of two produced full feature length films that reunites Hellboy’s dramatic stars Ron Perlman, Selma Blair and Doug Jones.
Hellboy: Sword of Storms is the combined effort of Tad Stones (Buzz Lightyear of Star Command), Mike Mignola (creator of the Hellboy) and Guillermo del Toro (writer/director, Hellboy). The story begins when a professor of folklore becomes possessed by a duo of Japanese demons who plan to summon their brothers (the Dragons), to dominate the world. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense sends Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and a team of agents (Selma Blair, Doug Jones) to investigate. But when Hellboy picks up a cursed samurai sword, he is swept into a dimension of ghosts and monsters. Even if he does survive this terrifying world, will he be able to defeat the two most feared spirits of Japanese legend?
