HELLBOY Reboot Starring David Harbour Has Officially Been Rated "R" HELLBOY Reboot Starring David Harbour Has Officially Been Rated "R"

Despite the goofy tone in the first teaser trailer, it's now been confirmed that the upcoming Hellboy reboot will indeed be R-Rated. Why? Well, you can find out the reason for that after the jump...

The first Hellboy trailer had something of an R.I.P.D. vibe to it but we've been hearing a lot of talk about Neil Marshall's reboot being a lot darker and more violent that Guillermo del Toro's efforts. 

Bear in mind that they were both PG-13 but, as you can see below, it's now been confirmed that this version will indeed be R-Rated. Following that teaser's debut, star David Harbour was quick to point out that his take on Hellboy will be a killer and it's now clear he wasn't exaggerating!

A new trailer is expected to arrive soon, and it will be interesting to see how Lionsgate responds to the fan-reaction to that first teaser.

Regardless, with bloody violence and gore throughout (along with strong language), it's clear that this incarnation of Hellboy will be taking a very different approach and that's either going to pay off in a big way...or be Deadpool-Lite. What do you guys think?

Well there it is. The new trailer should exemplify why it will be rated-R.

The MPAA rating system is counterproductive and arbitrary.

The casting is great, but based on the trailer, its going to be bad

@dracula -

The casting is fine, the writing is questionable but the Hellboy makeup looks amateurish. He doesn't look like Hellboy. He looks like some low budget demon from the Evil Dead series.

What's weird is the Hellboy from 15 years ago looks better.

I guess that is a step in the right direction but I don't think it will save this movie. It just didn't look good.

If this is intended to be an R-Rated comedy horror... sure, I'll happily watch it.

"that's either going to pay off in a big way...or be Deadpool-Lite."

That's a pretty small spectrum there

You all see that interview with Selma Blair about her MS? So sad but she’s taking it so positive and staying so strong.

Odd. The trailer made it look PG.

Hopefully the next trailer is Red-Band and we can get a better feel for the actual movie, since the first 1 didn't really feel like an R-rated movie, and more complete CGI.
