Second Animated Hellboy movie coming to TV

The animated film Hellboy: Blood and Iron will be premering on Cartoon Network on March 17 at 7p.m.

Professor Broom discovers that someone in New York is attempting to bring back the evil female vampire Erzsebet Ondrusko, whom the professor destroyed 60 years earlier. Erzsebet was known to bathe in the blood of innocents to retain her youth. Professor Broom calls upon three of the top B.P.R.D. agents—Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien—to investigate.

Actors from Guillermo del Toro's 2004 Hellboy feature film will again give voice to their animated counterparts in the new film: Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Selma Blair (Liz Sherman) and Doug Jones (Abe Sapien). The animated film also features the voice-over talent of two-time Oscar nominee John Hurt as Professor Broom. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola co-wrote the movie's story. Tad Stones and Victor Cook direct the movie. Del Toro and Mignola are creative producers.

Hellboy: Blood and Iron is produced by Film Roman, a Starz Media Company, and is distributed worldwide for television and on DVD/video by Starz Media LLC.
